Jane Kiley died on December 28, 2014. Chances are you may not have known her directly. She was not famous. But after this article, you would want that chance in life this woman to hold dear. For many people presume the memories of our lives and passing is felt primarily by friends and family. But we are all like Jane and will be known by many people in generations yet to come. Jane's life is always with us, just like yours, for you are part of the journey everyone takes that she took just days ago.
While writers remind us no man is an island, the fact is that every life indeed touches others in very important ways. Our lives are multiplied across a spectrum of individuals, more than those six degrees of separation we think are the limits of our connections.
