Information on Jane's Memorial Service and Lunch-in

This is Jane’s Husband, Mike


  Before I tell you where Jane’s Memorial Service is,  I need to start with a small story that started several weeks ago.


  Bob and Debbie Sencenbaugh contacted us telling us that they were going to have a Dog Weight Pulling contest in Jane’s honor.   Bob stated that the proceeds from the Weight Pull were strictly for Jane to have some fun with.   

  Jane and I talked it over and decided to use the money for our 1st anniversary, a date that we didn’t know we would make.   

  We missed the first day of the Weight Pull, but made it the second day.   We found out that the many members of the Denver Samoyed Association had helped out both on Saturday and Sunday with people traveling as far as Colorado Springs in order to support Jane.   Jane didn’t want to go at first cause she felt slightly embarrassed, but with a little push from me we showed up.   When we got there and found out how many of Jane’s friends had come out to help,  she was glad she came and amazed how many people around were supporting her.

  The amount that Bob gave us in proceeds was far more then anyone expected.  Bob explained that many people entered without actually showing up just so Jane could receive a little something.  Again, both Jane and I were blown away!

  As we came closer to our anniversary, we made reservations for a Bed & Breakfast in Woodland Park.  We decided to explore Colorado and that looked like a good place to spend the weekend.    

  Then Jane’s condition changed.  One morning a few weeks ago, we talked and decided to cancel or reservations because Jane was spending most of the time in bed and really was to week to do anything exciting.  We talked about what to do with the money and she said that it would be nice to have a party with her friends and loved ones.   ( we had talked about having a series of parties for her friends earlier in the year, but due to chemo and not feeling good, we never got around to it )

She also stated that it would be nice to have it where we got married, at the Club House close to were we lived.    Unfortunately, Jane’s time ran out.


  This service is with Jane’s wishes in mind,
