Eleanor & family, I was so sad to hear of your loss. From the times you talked about her, your mother sounded like a vibrant, one-of-a-kind person, who had really made a difference to people. Thinking of you in this difficult time.

Eleanor, please accept my sincerest condolences to you and your family. Our prayers and throughts are with you.

Dear Eleanor (and family). Please accept my condolences. Your mother sounds like a wonderful person who lived life fully and raised a wonderful daughter. Thinking of you at this time.

Jane’s family and mine have been friends for over 70 years. In that time I saw Jane only occasionally, but they were memorable times, largely due to her marvelous personality. Daphne and I were both saddened to learn you have lost her.

Eleanor and family, Heartfelt condolences for your loss. In this difficult time take strength from each other and from the wonderful memories of your mother’s life.

I met Jane after Ellen and I became friends about 16 years ago. From the beginning, Jane wasn’t just Ellen’s mom she was a parent to all of us. Whether at the Joy house, the farm, or the bay, Jane kept a watchful eye as Audra, Meg, Janine, and I grew up alongside Ellen. She had a sharp wit and humour, and was always quick to pull us back in line when necessary. Jane was onto us all the time in our teenage years but knew when to confront us and when to just accept that we were going to Mike Lampton’s house! I remember when, after about 10 years, Jane finally said, while smiling ear to ear, ‘you know, you don’t have to call me Mrs. Joy anymore, you can call me Jane’.

My deepest sympathy to Len, the Joys, and the rest of the Andras clan.

Eleanor , our deepest sympathies to you and your family on the loss of your Mom. Our thoughts are with you.

Eleanor and family, please accept our deepest sympathy.

Stay strong at this difficult time and know that you are in our thoughts and prayers.

Your colleagues and friends in BPD.

The Bay won’t be the same without her. Jane will be missed by so many. I picture her as with “Gran and Faver” now – two such memorable people as well. No longer with us here, but not at all forgotten.

My condolences. She was a lovely woman.

We will miss Jane terribly, not just as a cousin and a friend, but as the core of family life at the Bay. Her vivid personality, her generosity of spirit, her sayings and doings, will be remembered always, with a smile.

With sorrow for you great loss, and admiration for the strength and love of your family. The thoughts and blessings of all of Golden Ave are with you.

Joy/Andras Family
Although it’s difficult today to see beyond the sorrow, May looking back in memory help comfort you tomorrow.
My thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time.

Rob – We are so sorry for your loss. Our sympathies to you, Soli and the girls, as well as your extended family at the Bay.

Michael,
I was very sorry to hear of Jane.
We shared many a laugh over the years, and I always enjoyed seeing her on her visits out west, either on her own or with one of her family. I will miss her laugh, her smile and her friendship.

Dear Michael & Family
Ian and I were so sorry to learn of Jane’s passing. I for one will always remember the enjoyable times we had playing bridge and who could ever forget the indomitable “keeper of the key” at the University of Toronto Women’s Association’s annual rose sale.
Gone but not forgotten!

We are very saddened to learn that Jane has gone. As we knew her so many years ago, she was a lovely woman — sensitive, kind and loving. She’ll be sadly missed by many, we’re sure. Our best wishes and sympathy to all of your family.

Ross and Brenda Lundy

As an old friend from BSS days I must say I have such marvellous memories of Jane and her wit and always opinionated offerings on just about everything. We have not stayed in touch,but I want all her family to know that she was a one of a kind and her spirit will always be around those who love her!

My thoughts and prayers are will you all at this sad time.

Eleanor & Family
Our heartfelt thoughts are with you and your family.

I met Jane at Trinity College in 1959. Over the next four years, we played bridge incessantly, skipped classes regularly and discussed life endlessly. We deepened the grooves on Buddy Holly’s L.P., hung out with Charlee (Royce) and Carolyn (Purden) and smoked Cameo menthol cigarettes. Jane introduced me to her cousin, Jamie, in the Old Buttery and we later married. These four years left me with a collection of wonderful memories of Jane, a unique human being, and a great friend. My sympathy to you, Mike and your children, to Kenny, Betsy and John and to all the Graham cousins.

Mike, Robbie, Eleanor, Gwen, John, Betsy and Ken, your famlies, and extended family, I was so very sorry to hear the news about Jane. I hadn’t seen Jane for many years, but I have such lovely memories of the many very funny and happy times I spent with her, Mike, John and the kids, at the Bay and the Farm, where the family’s warm welcome was always very generously extended to me. I am thinking of you all.

Please accept out deepest sympathy. Zvonko just happened on the obit in the Globe this morning. I always enjoyed being around Jane at the University functions, especially the Rose Sale. Unfortunately, I haven’t been to any in the past two years, so have not been in contact with Jane. There will be a huge void where Jane used to be. The wonderful picture of her says it all.

Dear Joy & Andras families,

My brother Hugh Palmer informed me of Jane’s passing. I am so very sorry. I’m sure her spirit will live on, especially at the Bay. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Clare

Dear Michael and Family,

We were saddened to learn of Jane’s death and wish to send sincerest condolences. We know Jane particularly through the University of Toronto, where her leadership abilities, ideas and sheer hard work made a huge contribution to both the U of T Women’s Association and the Applied Science Women’s Association. Her energy, enthusiasm and friendship will be missed by all of us.

Shirley and Safwat

Dear Michael and Family,

On behalf of the Applied Science Women’s Association, I send sincerest sympathy on the occasion of Jane’s death. She was a staunch, willing and extremely capable and hard working supporter and contributor to this group, taking leadership roles in various capacities over the years. She was also involved in and enjoyed the bridge group within the association.

We will all miss her very much.
