With tears streaming down my face I write this blog entry. This morning around 10 am Jane passed with Barry,Tim, and her dad at her bedside. When I spoke to her yesterday had wanted to ask her how to present this time on her precious blog, but her physical strength was limited yesterday. This is a short poem from Brenda/Doug/Steph that was given to them at some time and it goes as follows:
JANE
God saw you getting tired
and a cure was not to be
so he put his arms around you
and whispered "come to me".
With tearful eyes we watched you
and saw you pass away.
Although we loved you dearly
we could not make you stay.
She left us quietly
her thoughts unknown
But she left us memories,
We're proud to own.
So treasure her Lord,
In your garden of rest,
For here on earth, she was the best.
Cape Cod will be ever more special to us::: We'll see you there!! We love you-
Thank you Barry for caring for our daughter,sister,mother,friend etc. Tim what a beautiful son you are and she loved your quartet singing yesterday. And dad how fortunate you were to spend the last few days with Jane your youngest daughter. As we always have said when someone dies--They now know the mystery!!. adios moe

Someone had once given me the same poem when my sister in law died of this same awful disease..I carry it with me always. Mine ends like this...
A golden heart stopped beating, Hard working hands at rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best.
How truly fitting this is for Jane. I wish you all peace and love throughout this time and always. Have been thinking of Jane all week and know she is finally at peace.
Goodbye my sweet friend! I will see you again until then you are forever in my heart. Love, Mary Lou
Goodbye Jane. You are now at peace. God Bless You....always, Gerry and Fred
To the Kaminiske family. My prayers are with all of you. Jane is truly with her Awesome God. She loved that song and now she can live it. I will miss her.
So hard to post when someone so dear has gone...especially on your blog,Jane, but I do so because I know how much it mean't to you that we not only read it but leave you messages and thoughts here. I will post again later, my friend. My thoughts are jumbled and my heart is heavy-God has your keep now.
love,

I had nevermet Jane in person but cherished her blog. I was born and raised in New Castle but moved to KS 6 years ago and to OK a year ago. I also am a breast cancer survivor I had a lot in common with Jane. I was diagnosed the first time during my son's Senior year in High School at Mohawk. I was a single mom and raising him by myself totally. He also played soccer, baseball and was an Eagle Scout and he kept me very busy. He was my greatest support much like Tim was Jane's. Jane was very inspiring as she fought this dreadful disease. She was inspiring to myself also. My deepest sypmpathies go to the Kaminske family. Jane is in heaven with her swesome God. She is at peace with no pain. Someday I will get to meet Jane in person. Someday we will all be together. Your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Dearest Kaminske Family, You are all so special. I have followed Janes Blog with many many prayers. please know you are and still will be prayed for. God Bless you with His peace that passes all understanding. Rest in his unfailing arms. You are loved.
Blues skies, a warm yellow sun and gentle breezes are now yours forever. Look back in that special rear view mirror on your motorcycle and give me a wave, and a smile, now and then…until we meet again.

I am extending my deepest sympathy to all of Jane's family. What a special person she was and how valiantly she fought this terrible disease! Now she is resting at peace. I pray that the memories of all the good times that you all had as a family will sustain you.

What mixed up feelings! We all knew this was coming soon, but how hard it is. But no more pain for Jane. I pray that knowing that she is CURED, free, and in a glorious, awesome place, bring her family and friends a sense of peace and joy. Next week, at Relay for Life, maybe we can all have a luminary lighted for Jane. Light up the sky. You all are in my thoughts and prayers.

To Jane's loving family in PA, and at the Cape, and her extented family, friends and 'cyber-friends' here on this earth:
My deepest sympathy.
Keep in our hearts her memory.

To all of Jane's friends and especially her beloved family -- I am so very grateful that I had the opportunity to know Jane, as brief as it was. God does work in mysterious ways. He brought Jane to me for a reason and then said, Susan, it is time for her to go now...and she moved to PA. We kept in touch for awhile but you all know how these things go...But once again God intervened to let me know of Jane's battle at the end. It is with great sadness, yet at the same time great joy, that Jane is where we all can only hope we deserve to arrive when it is our time. I pray that you all are comforted knowing that Jane is the her heavenly Father, who she loved so intensely. May He continue to bless you all with His light, love and never ending peace. Love, Susan Polchinski
God bless you Barry and Tim and family. What else can one say.....May God help you through the weeks and months ahead as you take on a new journey!

A New Journey has begun for Jane without pain or suffering.
One can only try to live the rest of our lives with as much grace, dignity,courage and lots of humor as she had.
My deepest sympathy to all of Janes friends and family.
In the Arms of the Angels I'm sure she is,

A new angel in heaven. Barry, Tim, and family -- I am so sorry for your great loss, and yet I am happy to know that Jane is now in the arms of our God who has taken away the pain. Thank you for sharing her with us! Thank you, Jane, for all you taught me.

I write this as tears are streaming down my Mom's face. She had just called Jane yesterday to let her know she was thinking of her and praying; as she did each and every day.
Jane is at peace now and no longer suffering. We are so sorry for your loss and shall keep your family in our thoughts and prayers, just as we have for the past year.
Jane has taught all of us so much. She was a warrior and an inspiration to so many others who have this dreadful disease.
Rest in peace, Jane! We love you.
Maureen (a.k.a. the other Mo) and her mom Pat Salmen.
Our deepest sympathy..
To the Kaminske and Knotts family.
rest in peace Jane we are gone to miss you.. our prayers are with all of you..
Don, Bonnie, Donna, Rachel, Greg, Dewey and Tessa
Dearest Kaminske Family,
My deepest sympathies go out to you all. What a special woman Jane was.
She has left a piece of herself in all of us that she touched. I am honored to be one of those touched.
May you continue to find strength through this difficult time and find solace in the knowledge that Jane is no longer suffering.
As I read this blog entry, the tears were streaming down my face. However, knowing that Jane is now with her Awesome God and no longer in pain helps to dry those tears.
To Barry and Tim and the rest of the family, you are in my thoughts and prayers. May God bless and keep you forever by his side.

Until we see each other in Heaven...dear friend. I sure will miss you.
