Condolence: Dear Aunt Doris and family: My heart goes out to you on the loss of Janie. I am so glad that I got to visit with her at your birthday party. My sisters Had just talked to her a few days before she entered the hospital and are thankful for that talk. I shall always remember Janie as we were growing up. She was always so jolly and wanted to know what was going on with our families. She will sorely be missed. Take care everyone. The Werth family will truly miss her. Donna (Werth) and Wayne Smith and family.

Condolence: To The Newton family I am so sorry to hear about the passing of Janie. We had lost touch over the years but our parents were the best friends - Della and Andrew (andy). We grew up together in Listowel when we spent time with Grandma Lavery. Jane was a good friend who was with us when we lost our parents. I hope that she didn't suffer too much. I will remember her sense of humour. Cathie & Bill

Condolence: I was shocked to here of Jane's passing . It has been awhile since we talked but we were always friends . We worked together at BFGoodrich and we all stayed friends through the years. Jane was a great lady and always looking after everyone else . Many times she was there for me when a friend was needed. She will certainly be missed by everyone that knew her. She was a great friend,a wonderful companion and a great person. My thoughts go out to all of the family.

Condolence: I was fortunate enough to work with Janie at Diemaco some years ago. She was a good friend and a treat to be around. When I first started at Diemaco my youngest daughter was in an accident and it was Jane that sent the huge stuffed dog, flowers and balloons to cheer her up. She was always asking about my children and made such a fuss over them whenever she saw them. Janie loved to feed and watch the birds outside her office window. I can still hear her calling me to come and watch the cardinals. Janie will be missed. She truly was an angel here on earth. My condolences to all of you..... Kim McElroy

Condolence: Dear family & friends of Janie, Please accept our sincere sympathy on the loss of Janie. We knew she was unwell and were hopeful that a treatment would be found to help her. Unfortunately that did not happen. Janie has been a wonderful friend for many years and will be missed. Sincerely, Robert King & Donna Clark

Condolence: Janie and I go back a long way, back to our years at BFG. We had a lot of good times together,she was a true friend. Janie would do everything for you, loved to have fun, someone you could talk to and who would give you sound advice. We had a special friend in England, Maria, whom she was able to go and visit and talk with on the phone. They are now together, as she is with her mother and father. When I married and moved to Bermuda she would send me the K-W Record as I missed reading my home newspaper. She was there for you when you needed a pick up. We have to think of the good times with Janie as she would not want us to be sad. Heartfelt sympathy to her family from Carol & Don. Janie we miss you already.

Condolence: Jane was a true and treasured friend. We shared many happy and sad moments through the years which I hold in my heart forever. The many times I spent in her company and at her home with family and friends and the meals we shared. The times she would say I needed a new hair style and a change of make up she did it. The times I was sick and needed help - Jane was there with a hug, food of course and a helping hand and love. The wedding and meal she made for Don and I. Jane had a sixth sense and would call and say Nonnie how is your day and listened to your problem if she thought you needed sympathy and she could give words of wisdom or if you just needed to be told to stop feeling sorry for yourself and get on with life. I regret that we didn't talk to each other more or spend more time together, but life seems to be that way each is caught up with others in their life and work needing our attention and we always say we'll get together tomorrow, but tomorrow doesn't always come. Jane could sing like an angel and I know she is up in heaven singing in the choir and with family and friends are watching over me. Yvonne Orth-Dallier

Condolence: Jane, You helped so many, loved so many, you will be fondly missed by all. Love, Trudy

Condolence: Good bye dear Jane. We are truly blessed to have been able to call you friend. Your travelling companion and friend. Betty

Condolence: A Letter From Herb Jobb.” My Dear cousin Jane, We miss you! In 1947 when I was 15 years old , I held a beautiful little baby girl in my arms. Somewhere I still have a picture of that event. I was born in Listowel, Ont, a prosperous farming community. Jane’s parents were my Uncle Bert, my mother’s brother and his wife, Aunt Margaret. They had no other children until Jane arrived. When Jane was born her birth mother’s family put her up for adoption, because her birth mother was only sixteen. The local medical Doctor came to Aunt Margaret and Uncle Bert. Margaret was a forty-five year old registered nurse working in the hospital, and my Uncle Bert A 50 year old retired, army sergeant major, who was then working at the local post office. Dr. Pratt, came to visit Margaret and Bert and asked them if they would adopt this two week old girl and raise her as their daughter. They were delighted as they could not have children of their own. The next day Bert and Margaret became Jane’s Parents. Neither Jane nor I had siblings and so we ended up being more like brother and sister than cousins. By the time that Jane was five years old, I had moved away from Listowel but we saw each other often. When Doreen and I married and had children, Jane always took an interest in them and helped them out whenever she could, often going out of her way to be there for them. She also did the same for my grandchildren. One year she surprised me by flying my eldest son Jeff and his family from Ottawa, so that the whole family could spend Christmas together at Jane’s house. After Doreen died and I married Elizabeth, she warmly welcomed her into the family. I was then able to tell everyone , “ That the two women I loved most were both born on the same day, April 1, 1947. As all Jane’s friends know, she was generous to a fault. One day she called us and told us that she had received and inheritance from a relative and she wanted to know if we would like to go to Scotland, Wales and Ireland. She knew that I had always wanted to make the trip to Ireland and so this is what she planned. When I asked her the cost , Jane said that the only cost would be what we spent on gifts or personal expenses. We have many wonderful memories of that trip together. She even rented a Limo. to take us to and from the Airport. The whole trip was an incredible gift from Jane. Everyone in my family has been blessed by Jane’s love for us and we will never forget or stop loving her.
