Hello dear friends. Many of you are dear and treasured longtime readers. Over the course of the ten years that I have been writing this blog my sweet mother in law, Jane Gunn, has been mentioned many, many times. This past Monday, after a very brief hospital stay, our beloved Grammie Jane went to be with our Lord and Savior.
Grammie Jane
I was so very blessed to have had this wonderful woman in my life. Mary Jane Nilsen Gunn was truly a wonderful mother and grandmother. She was a loving example of humility, graciousness, and kindness.
Jane and I shared a love for homemaking, good books, travel, museums, and music. She also made all of her clothes, and her children’s clothes, for many years.
Jane brought joy not just to our family but to many others. Her annual Halloween costumes always brought on a laugh.
Her presence in our lives will be deeply missed. We are taking comfort in our treasured memories and rejoicing in the knowledge that we will see her again in the sweet by an by.
With such a profound loss I am sure you will understand that I will be taking some time away to be with our family.
Laura
Sorry for your loss, Laura.
Laura, was so very sorry to hear of your Mother-in-laws passing. As you know I lost my MIL last year. It is a blessing to have a MIL you love so dearly, as I know not all do. I know she will be greatly missed. You will be in my prayers.
Laura, I am so sorry for your family’s loss. God Bless.
My deepest sympathy, Laura and family. ♥

Laura,
There is nothing better than a wonderful mother-in-law who is truly a GRANDmother to your children. I was blessed to have loving Christian in-laws and am thankful for them. Please accept my sympathies for losing a precious loved one in your family.

Oh, Laura, my deepest condolences to Jane’s loved ones. When a matriarch is gone, the rest of the family feels at sea, no one can take her place. My prayer is that she is rewarded for all the caring and love that she brought to this world. I’m glad she had you, I’m sure you were a gift to her.

What a treasurer it must of been apart of her life. You can see it in her eyes the love of life she had.
Glad you are taking time to be with your family.
I am so, so sorry for your family’s loss. You’ve written a very sweet tribute and I love the pictures you posted. I pray you all get through this very difficult time.
