I work in Erin at Renaissance and it was always a pleasure to chat with Janet when she stopped by the store to pick up work. I have worked for Stephanie Gairdner for the past eight years and we always had so much fun at our social functions with Janet. Janet and I often chatted about our common bond – Yellow Labs. I will miss her.

I have worked with Janet for the last 4 years in Erin and came to consider her my friend as well as co-worker. We always enjoyed our afternoon tea and cookies and chatting about our families. She told me many stories about how she used to dress up at every holiday and about how she once drove to Hockley as the Easter Bunny I think it was. She drove there with the head on with she could barely fit in the car and everyone was doing doubletakes driving by the Easter Bunny. She had me in stitches laughing! She always spoke so lovingly of her nieces and nephews and stepchildren. I will really miss her and I am so sorry for your loss.

Dear Barb, Richard and family,

I was so sorry to hear that Janet passed away. I will miss her effervescent joyful laugh, her fiestiness and her gentle kind sensitive nature. Janet will live on in our hearts.

My thoughts are with you.

Janet came into Jamie and my life 15 years ago this coming September. She looked after all of our bookkeeping; business and personal. It was a pleasure and an honour to share my life with Janet. I trusted her like no other. Janet was always caring, empathetic and supportive. Nothing was too much trouble for dear Janet. When no one else was there, Janet took our standard poodles into her home and cared for them as if they were her own, even allowing our dear old girl to sleep in her bed. Janet’s heart was full of love for all. This box is quite tiny, which is probably a good thing as I could write an epic about the joys of Janet. The list of things that will always remind me of Janet is very long some of which include; great necklaces, fabulous jackets, chocolate Easter bunnies, every animal on the planet etc. etc. She will remain in my heart. Janet’s nieces, nephews, stepchildren, sisters and close friends made Janet’s universe complete and I am truly sorry for your loss.

Hello:

I came across this notice by chance when looking for a client’s notice. Janet and I worked together for several years at the law firm of Neiman Bissett in Bolton during the late ’80s and early ’90s. I’m so sorry to hear of her passing away at such an early age. Janet was such a lovely person and we had a special friendship due to our mutual love of animals. My condolences to all of you. Janet spoke so findly of her extended family.

Condolence from Girls at Td Erin on June 9th, 2010 4:45 pm

We only had the pleasure of seeing Janet for a few minutes at a time but we always enjoyed serving her and chatting with her. She was a very kind lady and always apologized when she came in close to closing time, but we didnt mind. She was always upbeat and happy, a great customer.
We will miss her.
