Thinking of you – Sonia, Sara and family. So very sorry for your loss.
Sonia and Sara, I am extremely sorry for your loss.Your mom was such a lovely neighbour. We had so many lovely chats about everything. We had a lot of the same interests. When I look across the circle and see that big beautiful tree,I am reminded of your mom.
Dear Sonia, Sara and family – Please accept my deepest condolences. I still remember a golf trip to Stratford with Tom and your mother graciously letting me stay overnight at your house. My golf scores are forgettable but I still fondly recall the morning flying by as I spent the morning easily talking with your mother. My sympathies and best wishes as you both move ahead through this difficult time.
Sonia and Sara, so sorry to hear of your loss. Your mum was a lovely person. We will remember her fondly. Please accept our condolences.

Janet was a Dear neighbour of ours for 26 years. She always showed an interest in our family and what everyone was up to. She had a great passion for gardening and took immense care of her trees and property. Already we feel a huge loss without her presence there. She is greatly missed
The loss of Janet brings back a lot of fond memories. She worked with us for many, many years at JL Bradshaw, 1895 Ltd. where we all felt like family. Remembering all the good times. Carole and Todd Rowe
Dear Sonia, Sara, & Family
Sending my love and sympathy to you. I have fond memories of your dear mother. She was such a lovely lady.
I will never forget the kindness she showed me when I was going through a difficult time in my life.
I will never forget her beautiful smile.
Much love to you all,
Dear Sonia & Sara, my deepest sympathy for your loss. I have such lovely memories of your mother, summers in the lake at Bayfield and visiting at your home and Silver Lake, and traveling to Finland. She always made me feel welcome, wherever we happened to be, even when I was trailing around behind her at her wedding reception trying to pick up her train. I’m so grateful to have had such a lovely lady in my life. Rest In Peace, my dear Aunt Janet.
Sending love and peace to my dear cousins and family. ❤️
Janet was a wonderful person with a joyful spirit and we so enjoyed our time with her through the years. Our deepest condolences.
