Please hold Jane in your heart
The funeral was VERY sad indeed. My heart absolutely ached for Jane. Her son, poor thing, understands he'll never see DAD again, but you could tell he was clueless as to what was happening. He came to the service with toys in toe.. literally, dragging a box of them attached to his ankle. Really made us smile. Jane, on the other hand, was understandably a mess at times, and trying her best to hold herself together. I was truely amazed at how well she was holding up. She had some episodes, understandably, but was so thankful Lei and I showed up. She put us both into tears with her sobbing hugs.
Everyone, please hold Jane in your hearts in the coming months, and pray she gets through it emotionally and physically. She has had to bear so much grief in the past year, I cannot begin to imagine.

My heart aches for her . I cannot imagine what she is enduring . I have had her in my prayers for ever .
Do you remember me asking you at Boogie and Splash about the Red haired lady I met when we all went out to Kareoke last year .. it was Jane .. I am almost positive of it .. I had been thinking about her all year ..
She and her son are definatly in my thoughts and prayers ..
Hugs,
Natalie
Wendy this is so sad that I am in tears reading your e-mail. I can't imagine what it would be like to lose my husband or to explain to my 2 year old son that he was never going to see his daddy again...... my heart aches for her, her family and their loss...... she is certainly in all my prayers.....

Wendy, thank you so much for posting this. I have been thinking of Jane and her family almost constantly and just remembering when she first told us, and how it seemed serious but of course I thought he would rebound. It's just so shocking. I can't imagine how she is feeling, and how she is coping. I hope she has close family and friends nearby to support her.
Thanks again Wendy.
love

THANK YOU for posting this, girlfriend, I know there were many that had Jane in their thoughts and prayers, especially yesterday!
Yes, it was a day full of sadness and unfotunately, there will be MANY more for Jane, before it gets better. I'm so glad we were able to be with her, I think our need to hold and hug her was as great as hers to be held. I can't even imagine the heaviness in her heart, the void, the sadness that comes with losing your best friend, lover and husband.
It's just too much to fathom or understand and we have to hold on to the belief that the here and now, is just a temporary stage to something so much better. I have NO doubt that my brother Bobby has already hooked up with Joe and is probably BORING him to tears with "fish stories" from the islands.
For those that are interested, here is a photo I took of Jane and Joe, last year March -- at one of our VaBeach Dinner/Karaoke nights. [Note: You will have to cut and paste the ENTIRE link to your browser, these links are no longer clickable on OH]

Their happiness and love was apparent to all that knew them.
Hugs - Lei
==========================================
For those that might have missed this in another post from Jane - here is an address that CARDS can be sent to -- Post from Jane M:
My address is
Jane & Dylan Massey
104 Temple St
Hampton, VA 23664
Cards would be very nice, if someone wants to send special cards to Dylan that would also be great. His cousins made him cards and he really liked that.
I'm sorry I haven't answered much mail. It's very difficult for me to answer everyone right now. Between OH and my husbands messageboard, my mailbox is near capacity.
It just gets me too emotional to think about how many people cared about us. We were homebodies, but the internet was always our friend.
