 I'm a bit in shock today.  An incredibly beautiful, talented and amazing friend (wish I could say I knew her better, but we hadn't talked much since she started law school and I got busy...) has died.

The last time I saw her was almost a week ago at Henry's - as lively person I can imagine.  Its still not quite sinking in that the most ALIVE person I know is not... 

Visited family and now to meet some friends downtown... 
I will be caropooling to the funeral early next week (details not decided) if anyone wants to ride along.
The funeral will be here in Lawrence, early in week (pending some investigative issues) at Liberty Hall.

we will miss her
I know Jana and I haven't been close for a while, I really wish I made amends, it was a really weird time in my life.

We will all miss her, and knowing how I sad and confused I feel, I cannot imagine what her family and close friends must be going through. I really hope they find the monster who did this.

Anyway, Jana, I am really sorry for having offended you. You're a great friend and I regret having lost contact. It's terrible that it has taken this to make me realize that.

Her funeral will be Monday or Tuesday (dependent on investigation issues) at Liberty Hall. You could make amends there.

I think something small and sparkly (glitter) is in order. :)

I so wish I could make it, but I am living in WY now and we just don't have the money to make the trip.

I'm also touched by the following tribute by someone who knew Jana:
