REMEMBERING MOMMY JANE
This page is made especially for this woman we call Mommy, friend, counselor, grandmother. She has touched the hearts of many people in Indonesia and was an inspiration for her great faith in the Lord. Below are some fondest memories from people who have been close to Mommy Jane’s heart.
 
 
 
PINKY BROSAS
Countless times I visited Mommy Jane in her home after lunch, most often she’s in her room and we would talk for hours until we find ourselves sleeping. I would embrace her and caress her hair, or we just hold hands until we wake up. We both felt so good and comforting and happy. These are the most precious moments with Mommy Jane I will treasure forever.
 
WENG PAMINTUAN
I will remember Lola (grandmother) as my most beautiful and most blessed Lola. Most beautiful because she loved and treated me like her real apo (grandchild.) Most blessed because she touched so many lives. She shared not only her heart but also her soul as well to thousands people. I love you so dearly, Lola.
 
ANGGRAENI and LIESYE
Kita kenal dengan Mommy Jane kurang lebih 3 tahun. Mommy Jane adalah seorang tua yang patut kita ikuti cara hidupnya dalam hal: KEBIJAKSANAAN, KASIH, PERHATIAN, KERAJINAN, KETAATAN, KETEKUNANnya. Dia tidak pernah absen untuk mengunjungi rumah BapakNya setiap pagi. Dia sudah melaksanakan ajaran Tuhan Yesus Kristus dengan baik. Dia adalah orang tua yang sangat perhatian kepada anak-anaknya, demikian pula, anak terhadap orang tuanya. Hal ini patut kita buat contoh dalam kehidupan sehari-hari dan berusaha untuk mengikuti cara hidup Mommy Jane.

Thank you for being such a wonderful mother to us here in Indonesia. You have taught me how to live my life and helped me to survive in times of my difficulties. We will always miss you. We love you.
 
PINKY TORRES
I will always remember her kindness and generosity.  Lola always makes sure that there is enough food for everybody and that the food is delicious. My fondest memory of Lola was when one time I asked her to pray for me on my intention to have a baby, and she told me that I should not lose hope for definitely the desire of my heart will be given to me.  To Lola, wherever you are, I know you are happy and I know that you will be whispering to the Lord what I've been praying for. Thank you for everything. We love you.

I remember Lola Jane as … a Lola who is so loving because she would patiently wait on the dinner table for each of her “apo” to come and have dinner, just like a mother waiting for her precious little child, during our prayer meetings in their house… she is so thoughtful - that she would bother to give us presents and cards on every important occasion of our lives…. she is so caring – that in her own little way, she would come and visit us at home specially if one of us is sick and bring in anything which she thinks will make us happy…. We love you, Lola.   Thank you for making our lives a lot more beautiful with your presence and loving ways.
 
ANA SANDAGON
What I cannot forget about Mommy Jane is her thoughtfulness...one time in her house before our Intercessory Prayers she kept on asking Tita Nenette to give me ice cream, at that time I had a late lunch making me full. Thanks to Mommy for touching my life even for a very short period of time.
 
SUSAN MIRANDA
Personally. I will miss the times she would always whisper to me to eat part of the food in her plate. These are endearing words to me, but I actually do eat some of her food. She even gives me her big housedresses, making me really feel her love for me,  Mommy, you love each one of us in your own special way. I  love you, Mommy. Thank you for loving me, your Godson, Boy, and my children, Gerry and Carlo.
 
SANSU GARIN
I was too young to remember my grandmothers when they were still alive, so Lola, God must have brought me you to be the grandmother I always wanted to have.  Your loving ways, thoughtfulness, great faith and humor really distinguished you from all the rest. During the last two months before your had the second stroke, I’ve been busy at work, and thus often missed out the Bacang or Friday prayer meetings.  I last saw you up and about (primly seated, that is) during the Genesis Children’s First Friday Mass.  I went up to see you after Mass and we exchanged our trademark puckered lips greeting as I said my name (The puckered lips was the special greeting I started to share with Lola since she had her first stroke).  Then you said “Bakit ngayon ka lang…ang tagal na di kita nakita.” (Why are you here only now, I haven’t seen you for some time.).  Lola, you lifted my spirit with the love and concern echoed in your words…I was deeply touched and your words made me feel important and missed…I may not hear you say it again but I shall remember you every time I am in need of loving words to lift my spirit…My love and prayers are with you Lola!
