It’s been many long years since we shared scouting experiences but one never forgets those who have shared the joy of serving and aiding in the development of our youth. John and Jan were amazing people and I wish John and his family peace and comfort knowing how great she was.
I met Jan (and John) through my love of Kiva and trying to make a difference in the world. You were both such great hosts of the gatherings of the Calgary Kiva team. Then as facebook friends I learned that Jan and I shared many of the same values and a silly game we both liked (Fairyland). Jan is a person that “walked the walk”. I was impressed that you’d done away with using plastic garbage bags. It seems like a small thing but it’s the millions of small things that Jan did with kindness and compassion that will leave a lasting ripple of goodness in the world. I’m a better person for having known her. My hugs and sympathy to all of her family.
Dear Trish, Dan and family, we are saddened to hear of the loss of your mother, mother-in law, grandmother. Our condolences to you and your Dad. May your memories be a bright light in your life.
Jan was one of the most vibrant, kind, loving people I have ever met. I feel so lucky to have spent the time I did with her. She lives on through all of us, always in our hearts. I can’t say enough wonderful things about her, it would take a lifetime to write.
When I think of Jan, many things come into my mind. Her absolutely lovely smile. Her commitment to social justice. Her no-nonsense way of saying it like it is. Her welcoming and loving ways. Please know you and your family are in my thoughts. Sending you our deepest sympathies.
It saddened us to read of Jan death. I remember great times at Westminster with you and Jan and the Sunday School leaders. It seems nay of our generation are leaving us much too soon.
I worked with Jan at Westbrook many years ago. Jan was always a positive person, had a good sense of humour amd wonderful to be around. My condolences to the family
My sympathy to John and all of Jan’s family. I met Jan at Occupy Calgary when I was only 17 years old, and she made such an impact on me with her dedication to social justice and compassion for anyone she met. I was privileged to hear Jan’s story in her own words when I interviewed her for a class project a few years ago. I’ll miss her words and her drums very much.
Dear Trish and Dan, sincere condolences to you and your family on the loss of a loving wife, mother, and grandmother far too soon. Our hope is that you are comforted by the memories of good family times spent together. Kindest Regards The Hart family.
My heartfelt condolence to John and all your family. Jan was such a courageous woman and a wonderful person. May her memory be a blessing. Miriam Meir.
