Dear Jane,
You have been a very special part of the gift my work in the business school has been and the joy it has brought me. I am humbled with gratitude. You have been the gold standard for the school, setting the bar for excellence, pulling always for the school. You’ve been an inspiration and role-model to me.
I will always be grateful. I am honored to call you colleague and friend and I want you to know you are deeply valued and cherished, by me.

The Energy

Jane, I want to say, "Thank you" for always being inviting and the life of the party in Jepson. Your knowledge of Gonzaga is crazy amazing and I will miss our chats on family, travel, and life. You have impacted me in more ways words could not express. I will miss you, but know you will enjoy your grandbabies, travel, a bit of slower mornings but still staying active and brighten others' day. Thank you...I appreciate you. I'm very proud of you.

The Friend

Jane,
I'm going to miss seeing you at all the SBA events. You're always one of my favorite people to talk too. Thank you for teaching me how to get from Hemmingson to Jepson by cutting through the buildings when it snows. You're truly the best!

The Celebration

Dearest Janie,

I am SO happy for you that you have decided to move on to your next great adventure! How wonderful! We will all miss your very contagious laugh, your thoughtfulness, your style (future runway model!) and your constancy in keeping us focused on the mission and on student success. You are the embodiment of what cura personalis looks like, and thousands of Zags have found their home here because of your care and concern for them. All of us, and every one of your past advisees and students, are better off for having been accompanied in this life by you.

Thank you for everything, and best wishes in all the days ahead!!! I wish you joy, peace, and only good surprises!

Love,
Peggy Sue
