May the pain of your loss be lessened by the depth of the love you all share. I have many fond memories of Jeanette from 50+ years ago when we were teammates at BRCI in Saskatoon.  Her quiet resolve, kindness and fierce determination made her an exceptional leader and garnered major respect.  Our sincere condolences, Doreen ( nee:Reimer) and Murray Fairweather

Jeanette was the most beautiful and fun loving person anyone could wish to meet.  She lit up the room with her laughter and joy of life.  Thank you my friend for making my time ar Bedford Road Collegiate a happy one.

You will be sadly missed by your loving family.

Painfree now, rest in peace.

With much love and sadness, your friend Maureen

I am so sorry to learn of Jeanette’s passing. Like many other Mercer alumni, she too welcomed me warmly and with great kindness. She was a good friend to us all. LS

I'll always remember fondly waking up a many high school weekend mornings after a sleepover at Scott's house..and Jeanette would always make the best breakfasts. The sun always seemed to be shining and fresh fruit prepared, especially Red Delicious Apples which were crisp and colourful...Thank you for the memories, you were a special Mom......

We are truly saddened to learn of Jeanette's passing.  We both worked with Jeanette at Mercer for many years.  A vibrant soul, caring and kind, Jeanette added her own personal flare to all that she did.  May Jeanette's family and friends find peace and comfort in the memories of love shared.  Paul and Diane (McBride) Deneault

To John and Family,
I am deeply saddened to hear of your loss of Ginette. I remember her as a vivacious and genuine person with a great generosity of spirit. She will be terribly missed. I am very sorry for your loss and I wish you strength at this difficult time. 
Sincerely,

Jeanette........only your beautiful smile could make us forget how awful we were putting......truly an elegant fireball and you will be dearly missed. Keep smiling down on us. Team Kaka (picture below) will always remember you

It was with extreme sadness that we received the news and and wish to express our sincere condolences to her loved ones.
During the short period that I have known Jeannette, her exceptional beauty and equally awesome kindness impressed me instantly I wanted to become a close friend.  We planned on a foursome game and dinner which sadly never came to be.  I will miss her bubbly presence at Meadowbrook . Even though we are not able to attend the funeral our hearts and prayers will be with you in this time of sorrow.

Dear John, Vera and family,  I remember the little sister of my best friend growing up in Saskatoon, growing into a fine young woman, mother, teacher and friend.  My mom loved your company while she lived in Vancouver.  Visits over the years were  great every time you visited Stoon.  The years sped by.  You will always hold a special place in our lives.  Ron & Elaine Koroll

Dear John and family...we were heartbroken to hear about Jeanette’s passing.  Our thoughts are with all of you during this difficult time.

Dear John and Family,

We are so sorry to hear about Jeanette. She inspired anyone who knew her. She has been a fighter this past difficult year. I shall always remember our golf games together.

With our deepest sympathy and caring,

Barbara and Richard Beach

Jeanette was such a wonderful colleague to work with and an absolutely delightful friend outside of work.  Our sincerest condolences to you John and all family members. 

Jeanette had such a special way to light up the room -- she'd gracefully embrace and had the ability to make you feel that there was no one else present when you spoke.   She was so proud of her family and I'd listen to my mom and her recount, compare and giggle swapping stories of  us raising our own kids, their grandchildren.   As an extended relative, it was oh, so natural to go to Uncle John's and Jeanette's house for holiday celebrations.     I loved that modern condo in Toronto -- as a teenager, visiting I always thought they were so fancy living off the energy of the city.  Fancy yes, humble yes, genuine always.   Together they made my parents so happy when they traveled the world together.  You could hear the happy memories in their voices as they recounted funny adventures.   Forever will Jeanette be missed.  I know you are still as graceful now as you will always be in spirit watching over us.      xo   Suzs

Dear John & Family...….I am so sorry to hear of Jeanette's passing. She was a wonderful and caring individual. She adored her family and made each and every friend feel special. You are missed, Girl!! Hugs and love, Kim

My deepest sympathy to the family and to you, John. I worked with both John and Jeanette years ago and have fond and good memories. This is very sad news. Strength and love going forward to the whole family.

I didn't know Jeanette for that long but after meeting her I felt drawn to her courage and positive attitude.  I felt like  I had known her for a long time.  She had a beautiful smile and was such an inspiration.  I want to offer my condolences to John and her entire family and friends.  She is no longer in pain.  I hope the wonderful memories you have will help you through this very difficult time.

Love Rosa(from support group at Doanes Hospice)

Jeanette was one of my favorite people to work work with at Mercer.  I'm just sorry I didn't keep in touch.  My condolences to you John and the rest of the family.
