Hello Jon, Chris and Joel. No matter how old we get, the loss of our parents is not easy. I am happy Jeanette got to live a full happy life, and now she is at peace and with Jack. Ipperwash has always been a special place for me, I have missed visits with her for a while, and I know it was her happy place. So listen hard, you will hear her voice, I can hear it, she is still chatting. lol Hope to see you kids on friday at Woodland for a hug. Peace to you all always Hugs Penny
Sincere condolences to the Chessman family on the loss of Jeanette. She is missed at the beach. So sorry Joel and family.
Jeanette there is a hole here that can never be filled now that you are gone❤️When you see Jack please tell home how much he is missed ❤️ Joel and Cheryl
Jon and Joel and Christine and families. I am saddened at the loss of Jeanette. I will cherish all the memories of our visits and our mutual love of books. Thinking of you all. Debbie Burr, retired PSW
Jon, Joel, Christine an families,
I had wanted to see all of you today, but unfortunately won’t be able to. Brother Andrew (who is single and living with us) is now in hospital with heart and bleeding issues, and I need to be with him. Please know that we are keeping you in our thoughts and prayers. Jeanette has been such a long-time friend of our family, especially Mom. So many memories. She will certainly be missed.

As Jeanette’s loving family,words will never begin to express the sorrow we feel for you. We always enjoyed our visits with her at Brookside and was thrilled that Jeanette was Mom’s roommate at Watford Quality Care. Jeanette was so caring,patient,understanding,honest,comical and feisty. We will forever treasure the unique,personalized 100th Birthday Card Janette gave Mom.
Jeanette was a very special lady – She is truly missed.
