Please accept my sincere condolences at the passing of dear Janet. Such a wonderful, helpful, kind and sincerely genuinely caring person. All heart with a great sense of compassion and refreshing sense of humor.
I saw her last year in at the doctors office in Peterborough and we had a great visit. She was so happy living in Peterborough and so committed to the plight of the homeless. She was irreplaceable. This was such sad news. Prayers to her family and friends.

Janet’s memory will live on in all the good she did for others. May we all be inspired by the love she freely shared, her hearty laugh, and the way she fully engaged and cared. Janet will be missed, but never forgotten. Our thoughts go out to her family and friends as they mourn her passing.
