We will continue to meet to say the rosary on Monday nights at 7 pm at Saint Vincent de Paul Church in the St Jude alcove. Please spread the word to others who may want to continue to pray for Jane's family, as well as the many intentions Jane would want us to remember.

My name is Quinn Hebert and many of you have likely figured out that I have been posting on the  blog, "Candles For Jane", to keep you updated on Jane's progress in her cancer battle. 

This will be my last post on this blog as it is my sad duty to report that my lovely wife Jane died last night (Sat. April 18th) at the tender age of 47 in my arms at our home at approximately 1 am after a long, difficult cancer battle.  Jane was a private person and we attempted to honor her wishes to die at home with dignity and grace. In one of our last meaningful conversations on Tuesday night, April 14th she told me "I am not scared" and "if the Lord will have me, I am ready."  During times of immeasurable sorrow such as this, Jane would want us to place our trust in Jesus and rely on our faith to get us through this difficult time.  Just as Jesus did, Jane offered up her enormous pain and suffering for all of us.  I am confident that Jane is in heaven now and she will now be able to see the face of the Lord and be able to intercede for us. 

I especially want to take this opportunity to thank so many family members and friends who helped us over the past 42 plus months with your love and support and countless prayers, rosaries, Masses and meals.    You have no idea how touched we are by the outpouring of support and assistance.  I also want thank the incredible doctors and staff at MD Anderson Cancer Hospital, in particular the teams led by Dr. Diane Bodurka, who was Jane' primary care OBGYN Oncologist,  Dr. David Hong, in charge of Jane's two major clinical trials programs and Dr. Eduardo Bruera, in charge of Jane's support and palliative care, and also the expert care rendered by Houston Hospice the past few weeks. 

There will likely be many tears shed for sweet Jane and we will certainly miss her here on earth as it is only natural, for we are human.  But please know that Jane had a mighty faith and she is in a safe place, no longer suffering and continuing to do God's work.

Thank you again from the bottom of my heart.  Funeral arrangements and details will follow once they are finalized.
