Jane Gibbons (8 Apr 1940 - 2 May 2020)

May I say thank you on behalf of Josh and myself for all your kind messages and generous donations. The funeral directors have informed us that we have raised £642.50 up to June 15th and I guess that the final figure may be more.Many people have sent donations direct to the funeral directors and hence the amount is different to that at the top of the page;. Anna Webb donated £25-Penny Head donated £30-Roma Wilkinson donated £30-Elizabeth Baxter donated £20-Josephine Hinson made a donation and Peter and Ruth Wooley Also donated. We had a lovely letter from The Dorset wildlife trust, thanking everyone for their generosity.

For the birds,butterflies and,especially the,bees of which mum was so fond.

A lovely lady who we only came to know in recent years, but whom we will rember with thankfulness.
Love from Angela and David

In memory and thanks for the life of such a wonderful lady, with love from Angela and David Hamilton

In loving memory of a dear "long lost" cousin.
I'm so glad that we met up again her last year.
She was a delight, and very good company...
Sadly missed.
My thoughts and prayers are with Clare & Josh and family.

I am making this donation on behalf of Jane's friends and fellow play readers at Plucknett Players. She will be very much missed at our monthly meetings.

My special thoughts go out to Clare and Josh at this very sad time with the loss of their dear Mum, Jane. I live in Vancouver but I had a lovely visit with your Mum when I was visiting the UK in 2013.

My lovely mum was the absolute best mum in the world! We were given the best she could possibly manage to provide for us when we were children and she was always supportive when we became adults. I will miss her so much , It is hard to imagine that she isn’t pottering in her garden feeding the birds and watching nature. She made her 80 th birthday in April , but she was always charging around as if she was 30!! Thank you mum for all you have shared with me and all that you were. Xxx

Dear Clare and Josh,
I was sad to hear of your mother's dear after a battle with cancer. As the youngest cousin on the Nightingale side, I think I only met her a couple of times when I was very young and can't remember ever meeting you. But my thoughts are with you and I will be praying. It's always such a wrench to lose your mum and she sounded a wonderful person. In sympathy, Rosy (and Bernard)

I remember Jane - as a teenager all those years ago.

My beautiful Granny, I will miss always. Growing up I only ever had one grandparent and of course, my Granny had so much personality and kindness that she took on the role (and more) of what naturally should have been four people.

I have many many happy memories with Granny, we had so much fun and she always made me laugh - she is famous for her impressions (and silly faces)! Not only this, but we explored, collecting shells and fossils, flowers and mushrooms! We spent a lot of time outdoors on the beach getting sunburnt and sand between our toes. And we always baked together, which has certainly changed the course of my life and led me to wonderful experiences and people.

I always knew Granny’s love was unconditional, and her house was always a home. I will miss Granny more than words could ever say, but I know she is now peaceful and being looked after by those that love her.

In loving memory of my oldest friend

A lovely lady and keen table tennis player who will be sorely missed.

Such a sad loss. Jane was a wonderful mother, grandmother and friend. She was so kind and would do anything to help anyone. With a great sense of humour, she was a brilliant mimic, and made us all laugh. She had a great sense of fun and adventure, and was wonderful company. I have many happy memories, and feel privileged she was such a good friend, and will miss her so much. Sending much sympathy to Josh and Clare, Rowan and Ruby, and all Jane’s family.
