Another Norwegian boards the ship to Valhalla

Mrs. Jane O'Trembiak left us today. We feel sad yet are happy that she was able to go peacefully and without pain. It seems at this point a joke would be more appropriate then sentiment but that damn lady took all the jokes with her. A mother of two, grandmother to two and a GiGi(great grandmother) to five, she will be missed dearly.
What I, as her adopted irish grandson, will remember most is how she absolutely lighted up at the sight of her family(and in-laws as well). She loved her family and relished in the stories of their lives both present and past.
Jane lived. Moreso for others as she required very little for herself. Generous to a fault, opinionated to the max and funnier than anyone else I have ever met. Her laugh was infectious and usually came due to her encyclopedia of jokes stored in her norwegian head. Normally this point Iwould have pointed out that this would be all she had in her head and she would have forgiven me again for being irish. I will miss our banter, he caring regard for my wife ansd kids and her laugh, it meant the world to me to have that in my life.
