Dear Fred, please accept our deepest condolences to you and your family. We are truly blessed to have known Janette. We will miss her warmth and beauty. We so admired her honesty, compassion and love she so easily shared. Can't leave out her bright wit and humour. Janette had deep insights to life, not by reading it in books, but from her actual life experiences. Oh, how we will miss you. We Love you Janette and will keep you and our fond memories in our hearts.

Meeting Janette and Fred added to our good memories of winters in Florida. Janette's quick wit added to the pleasure of Friday night dinners and bridge games. Sincere sympathy to Fred and family.

As I reminisce the years Janette and I had spent together, it takes me back to Liverpool, NS. ~ grade three, 8 years old, our bond will be forever cherished. We were kindred spirts inseparable during those young years. Our path forked as Janette left for Halifax for nursing training and I to Montreal . Over the years we continued to stay connected, catching up on our lives on birthdays, Christmas and the like. To us we were family, sisters. I have always cherished our special relationship and was deeply saddened to learn of her illness and passing. My deepest, heart felt condolences to Fred, Steve and their families. Love Edith and Bruce

Fred, I was saddened to hear of Janette's passing. I was going to send her a Birthday Greeting when I was told. Of all the days to pass away... My sympathy to all of her family, who I am certain will miss her dearly. I know Bob and I missed you both after you moved. Bob especially liked to tell the story about how bored he was after he retired and would constantly check to see if you were outside. If he saw you, he rushed out so he wouldn't miss you, cause he enjoyed chatting with you.
I just realized that eventually all four of us will be at the same address. Bob being the first to go to Beechwood. If you can, please stay in touch. I know it's not easy to lose a spouse you've been with for many years. Not easy at all.
Take care my friend.

I’m so very sorry to hear this sad news, and so late. My condolences to Fred and Steve and family. We loved Janette like a family member, and my mom treasured her. I sure hope they’re up there somewhere drinking tea and solving the world’s problems, as besties do! My love to you Janette, I miss not knowing you’re around. Big hugs.
Sending thoughts and prayers your way Steve and Lee-Anne.
