Condolences
The family of Jayne A. Haag has received the following condolences.
We lost a wonderful life. We lost a wonderful force.
I thank God every day for the gift of my mom. I know God loves me because he gave me the best he had.
Love, generosity, she was my rock.
Her grandchildren Shayne and Summer were her greatest joy. They were blessed and privileged to have her love and precious time from childhood to adulthood.
Grief will never go away. Grief is something we learn to carry. And I'm learning, not a lesson I ever wanted. Not a skill I ever wanted to acquire.
Watch over her dear Lord. Bless her, care for and comfort her. And that she knows how very much I love her.
My mom is in heaven. I have no doubt about that whatsoever. She is happy and at peace. She is with Jesus. He chose to take her home to be with him.
We are going to miss her. It's hard, very hard.
I miss you mom. I love you mom.
