We are so sad to learn of Janet’s passing away. Unfortunately I only learned of it late on Friday. I ran into Janet often shopping at Co-op and the last chance I had was when Sandy was here visiting her. I actually thought of her on thursday as I was shopping …. I wish I could have been at her memorial. She was a beautiful and loving woman. She will be missed by all who knew her. Thinking of you all at this very sad time.

Sending love and my deepest condolences to you and your family at this time, Sandra. Your Mom really was special, as are you! Sincerely, Kim

Dear Rick , Corri , Sydni, Sarrah and

Family.

This day of Friday, March 21 I heard the devastating news about your Mom and myself, John and Eileen extend

our hearts and prayers on the loss of such a beautiful person, Mother and Grand Mother. May you find the

healing with each other, the children, and your family. We pray to our Lord that you heal without enduring heart-

ache for terrible amount of time-by looking into your daughter’s eyes and seeing their Grandmother’s reflection

of peeking back at you. Love and thinking of you in such time of great loss and sorrow.

Linda, John and Eileen

I miss you so much already, mom. You were my life-long best friend, confidanté and cheerleader. I love you so very much and you will live on in my heart, now and forever.. xx

Here is a poem:

Death is nothing at all

I have only slipped away into the next room

I am I, and you are you

Whatever we were to each other

That we are still

Call me by my old familiar name

Speak to me in the easy way you always used

Put no difference into your tone

Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow

Laugh as we always laughed

At the little jokes we always enjoyed together

Play, smile, think of me, pray for me

Let my name be ever the household word that it always was

Let it be spoken without effort

Without the ghost of a shadow in it

Life means all that it ever meant

It is the same as it ever was

There is absolute unbroken continuity

What is death but a negligible accident?

Why should I be out of mind

Because I am out of sight?

I am waiting for you for an interval

Somewhere very near

Just around the corner

All is well.

Nothing is past; nothing is lost

One brief moment and all will be as it was before

How we shall laugh at the trouble of parting when we meet again!

Canon Henry Scott-Holland, 1847-1918, Canon of St Paul’s Cathedral

xoxoxoxoxoxox i love you mom !! Sandra ( Sandi)

Janet’s beautiful smile, sense of humor and concern for others was always evident to members of the Pulmonary Fibrosis support group. Janet was a model of courage and dignity in the management of her illness. We will miss her and tenderly remember her.

Our prayers are with your family and with Sy at this time.

Sincerely,

Maureen & John Pysklywec

I would like to send love and light to the family and just say how honoured I was to get to meet Janet on my trip to Canada. Love David

What a beautiful picture and tribute to your Mom & my cousin. She sure is going to be missed.

Hugs to you all.

Sandra & Chas

Janet was a great neighbour to me for the past three years. I will miss her and only wish I had known her longer and better. My condolences to Sy and Janet’s family.
