To Paula and family. My sincere condolences. It is with such sadness that I write this. I am so glad I had Jeanette in my life, If only for a short time. She was such a ray of sunshine. A warm, caring, honest, strong, funny gal. I loved volunteering with her at the Food Bank and “playing” with her at bowling. We had such great laughs. We chatted about her visits to see her dear Dad and she spoke with such love and pride of you Paula, the centre of her world. My thoughts are with you during this extremely difficult time.

Dear Paula, our family is so sad for you and your family with the passing of your Mom. I think your Mom was one of the first people we made friends with when we moved to Stouffville in 1998 and our friendship kept growing from there. We shared lots of wonderful, fun times together. We will miss your Mom greatly. Know we are always here for you if you ever need anything. May you find strength from your family and friends and may all your memories of your Mom help you get through this sad time.

Jeanette was my cousin and growing up we were close. I always looked up to her, and always will. Many great family memories, vacations in Florida and trips to visit in Stouffville. She stayed with me one week when my parents were away, She and I went to Lionel Ritchie concert together. NYE together at Doug and Vals. So many play dates with Linda and Jeanette and our kids. I m so sad Jeanette was a beautiful, kind person and I ll miss her so much. She was funny and caring always there to just listen. I m glad her pain is over but Paula please know anything you need please know we are here. I unfortunately know your pain and anyway I can help please call xoxoxo René Maggie and Rémi send their love as do I.

Cindy Lackey
Jeanette was a Wonderful Person, I feel so blessed to have known her as a Friend.
We have had many good walk’s and talk’s over the years and I always left those conversations with joy in my heart.
She was always to wiling to help you anything you want “Can I get you groceries” Driving me back & forth to get my car repaired, Jeanette was always someone that you could count on.
I do find it very hard to speak of Jeanette in the past tense as she will always remain with me.
My heart goes out to Paula your Mom has done a Wonderful job raising you, you make her Proud.
God Bless

My deepest sympathy to the family. I first met Jeanette, partway through grade 7 at SDSS. Her amazingly sweet smile and bright beautiful eyes always made my day. I had”nt seen Jeanette since the mid 90’s in Stouffville but thought of her quite often over the years. Every so often I would look through our grade 12 yearbook, which would bring a smile to my face whenever I saw her pictures. Now, not sure if I can anymore.
Shine brightly Jeanette.
