    I really don't have a family so my family in Nebraska included her she was by far one of my favorite people. I loved coming home to Nebraska walking through my favorite small town bar and seeing her face. I knew I was home. My Nebraka family is my family. I miss all of them and it will never be the same without her. Looking foward to seeing you hopefully soon Neil. Sending thoughts and prayers.
  15. Chrishelle Berube
    She was by far one of my favorite people. I have no family but when I went home to Nebraska I always thought that the people I meet in my favorite small town bar were my family. Every time I came back and walked in those doors and saw her face I knew I was home with family. It will never be the same. Thinking of you Neil and can't wait to walk through those doors and see your face. Miss you and all my family in Nebraska.

    My deepest sympathy to Neil and Sandy and family. Jayne fought courageously and it makes me sad that her cancer battle was not to be won. She inspired everyone who knew her. I pray you will be comforted that the eternal battle for her soul was won by Christ Jesus, and that she can now know life free from all troubles. God bless you all.
