Us Five Best Friends
Jana and me on my fifth birthday

Brady and Jana got to know each other through the rec soccer team and became friends fast
Us girls on spring break in high schoolMemorial Day brings many emotions and memories. With this Memorial Day, my dear friend Jana is strong on my mind. Jana and I go back to our toddler years. She is a one of a kind person who was so spunky and fun to be around. I remember laughing with her all the time. From stopping to bury dead animals off the side of the road to playing soccer on an adult rec team, from kissing Taylor behind the chimney to making Spice Girl Videos, from spending the day hiking in the mountains to dressing up and fighting over fake make up, from listening to Eminem in my bedroom to walking to kirts and kings. She was good at letting people know how much she loved them especially those last few months. Jana is missed and loved so much. I wanted to post this so people can know what a good person she was and that she is still thought of and loved so much. Jana I love you and miss you. I wish I would have had more time with you and know I will see you again.

Thanks for the reminder of how special our time is!
What a great post. You are going to make me cry with this one. Emily is right in her comment, this definitely reminds us how important our time is. I also wish that I had more time with Jana before she died but we have that one last memory with her and that was a very happy one! Love you lots!
Jana was such a beautiful person. I didn't know her very well, but I always admired her personality and beauty. I am so sorry for your loss and pain...for her family and other friends. It is hard to lose someone you love so much, but like you said, we'll see her again and that is something so precious to live for.
I love reading about Jana. I love and miss her so much. I am grateful she was such a good friend in your life and that you have such good memories of her. She was a wonderful girl.....we all wish she was here still. This is when we have to rely totally on our Faith. I know we will all see her once again. I especially love the picture of you two on your birthday....the most precious smiles in the world.
What a neat post! I am so glad you have such wonderful friends, but I am sorry that one of your good friends is no longer with you. Sorry for the sorrow. Love you lots!
Ahh Laurel, I'm happy to see this. I visited her grave yesterday cried for hours I was going to post something like this but right now I can barely bring myself to look at her pictures. I miss her so much. I thought it would get alot easier but it for sure hasn't if anything it has gotten harder. Thanks for posting these pictures to help remind me of the good times and that she is in a much better place. Love you lots.
What a great tribute to a good friend! I remember some good times with Jana in elementary. she was a hoot! What a great girl. It's so sad her time was cut short here on earth. I'm just happy to see that she had such wonderful friends and made lots of memories.
What a sweet tribute to such a sweet person. Jana lived down the street from me and we were in the same ward for a while. When I found out she died, my heart just sank and I was just so sad as I'm sure everybody else did. I'm glad we'll all be able to see her again!
i think i shed a few tears reading that. i didn't know jana very well but i have nothing but good memories of her and going to school together. she was always so funny and just a fun person to be around! i'm glad we have the gospel and know that we can see all of our loved ones again someday.
It's fun to reminisce about fun memories!
