Janet leaves a remarkable legacy as exemplified in her own words “how blessed I am to have lived this journey and had such incredible family, friends and co-workers. A special person REMEMBERED and a beautiful life HONOURED. With sincere sympathy.
So sorry to hear of Janet’s passing. Remembering all the fun times on Oakwood Drive with the Kosmack family. Thinking of you Ed, Dan, Randy and Ron at this time. Brian and Jane
Sending hugs and prayers to you Uncle Ed and the whole family. Heaven gained an angel but we will miss her here on earth.
Janet was my first cousin, and I have some good memories of her on the rare occasions that we were all together – her infectious laugh, always light hearted and kind, caring. I want to express my sincerest condolences to all the family (and there are many) and trust that you will cling to those wonderful memories Janet created! Janet really was a lot like her Mother, Aunt Gladys, who was an exceptional and lovely person…

Dan,
I was so sorry to hear about the passing of your mother. I know that this will be a difficult time for your family but it is also a time for remembering all of the special moments you shared with your mother. I apologize for not being able to attend the visitation but we are away. Our thoughts are with you.
Ed I send my condolences to you and your family. I always enjoyed listening to you talk about Janet and your family, you were so proud of them. We miss you at Riverbend, it’s not the same.
Dear Ed and family.
I first met Janet in 1971 when she was retiring because she was expecting Ron. I took her place at Northdale Central. Later, we taught together at River Heights. We had so many early morning chats and laughs before school. She was a remarkable woman who loved her family and faith. She will be remembered by many. My sincerest condolences to you all.
Dan, Chris and family
We are so sorry for the passing of your mother. Please accept our sympathies to you and your family.
We are very sorry for your loss. We find comfort in knowing that you have a strong, incredible family surrounding you at this difficult time.
Sincerest condolences.
What a wonderful photo of Janet! Smiling and full of joy… that is how I remember Janet in my early teaching years…. supportive, kind, and full of ideas. Our thoughts are with all of her family members.
