Jan, no matter how many  years pass, we'll continue to remember  you , your smile and your kindness xxx

I can’t believe that it’s been 3 years that I haven’t seen your sweet face. Your bright smile still shines every time I think of you. I love how we played together with the cast of Silver Stars.  Running into you around town, at summer concerts or at your booth at the Farmers Market was always a delight.  Thank you Jan for so many great memories.

I think about you both every time I drive past your road. Miss your smiling faces and still can't quite believe that Jan won't just appear one Saturday 'poof' at her booth in the farmers' Market; that I'll see you both happily greeting old friends, and new customers as new friends. Hoping you take good care, Frank, and wish you all the best - which you deserve.

My sincere condolences to Frank and to Jan's daughter Laura, and all who loved Jan. Jan was such a remarkable lady!! I loved seeing her and Frank while in the restaurant at the Mercury Diner. We made such a great connection as Jan did with so many that crossed her path. I will miss her hugs and her presence at the Farmers Market and the Concerts in the Park in Aurora. She loved those concerts!!! You will be missed Jan❤️ R.I.P

My deepest condolence to your family.  

Jan and I worked together on many committees over the past years. She tackled any and all tasks with great enthusiasm.  Jan was a formidable force but always with a smile.  I will miss seeing her and our chats.  

Rest in Peace Jan

Jan and I shared great pride in our “miracle daughters”, a deep appreciation for theatre, collaborations on many cultural initiatives and a love of shopping at our favourite store in Yorkville. I will miss Jan for her many gifts to our community, but more than that, I will miss Jan because she was a dear friend. My condolences to Frank, Laura and family members on their great loss.

Jan, the Tuesday Jam Sessions were a bright spot in a dark time for me.  I still think of you whenever my jar lids POINK as they seal. Thank-you for sharing your time on the Earth with me.

Jan, I am so sorry that you have gone. You were an inspiration on the Seniors Centre Board of Directors. You were also so funny as the "cow" in one of the Silver Stars performances, and I always loved the red patch in the front of your hair. Your jams were loved by everyone, but I don't think anyone loved them more than my husband,  Jim! I have given so many away as gifts. Whatever will I do now? I will miss you.

Jan and I sat on the library board together for 4 years.  As people always do, we always sat in the same seats and mine was luckily beside Jan.  Jan was very engaging and I appreciated that she brought a different perspective.  She was one of the most honest and kind people that I knew.  One of the things I remember most was how proud Jan was of every production her daughter was in.  She had such a big impact in Aurora and will be missed.  My sincere condolences.

We are saddened to learn of Jan's passing. Our condolences to Frank, Laura and all her family. Her Aurora family will miss her passion for justice, devotion to the Farmers' Market and Aurora Seniors' Centre, and to many other local causes. We will miss her smile.

Jan was a great supporter of mine when I sat as an Aurora Town Councillor and, later, MPP for the area. I always appreciated her insight and candour. As MPP, Jan "The Jam Lady" would send me to Queen's Park each Christmas with her award-winning jam to give the Premier. I was instructed to tell the Premier how much she was appreciated and that her accomplishments were very important. It was just like Jan to even be concerned about the well-being of the Premier of Ontario (who loved the jam, by-the-way).

Aurora has lost a notable citizen. We all have lost a dear friend.

Jan, Aurora will miss you. You were such an amazing fixture at the farmers market. Thank you for such an amazing job you did continuing the market. RIP.

For a woman who once confided in me that she never really felt part of the “inner circle” in social situations…Jan, you were firmly in the centre of so many circles of friends, community groups and charitable actions that you made your own head spin! And you soldiered on when you often didn’t feel well. I knew you as ever the peacemaker with heart; empathy, caring and democratic principle often served up with that impish grin, and your always elegant and colourful flare of course. Ai yi yi. You can't be gone because you are an indelible piece of this community that you loved.  But go off; be enlightened. I am saddened and miss you. Frank and Laura, and families, our deepest condolences and so look forward to being able to give you a long hug.

Jan was a member of the Silver Stars Theatre Group at the Aurora Seniors Centre and loved being on stage.  She especially enjoyed playing the role of the”cow” in Jack and the Beanstalk because she only had to “moo” through the whole play!!
Jan was the VP on the Board of Directors at the Aurora Seniors Centre.  She also co-chaired the Special Events Committee and supported all their endeavours.
We will miss seeing her at the Aurora Town Market, her articles in The Auroran newspaper about the vendors at the market, and we will especially miss eating her delicious array of jams.
Wonderful memories of Jan.
Sending our condolences to Frank, Laura, and the Family.

Jan was a member of the Silver Stars Theatre Group at the Aurora Seniors Centre and participated in several of our plays.  She played the “cow” in Jack and the Beanstalk and she  enjoyed playing that role because she only had to “moo” through the whole play!!
Jan was not only the VP on the Board of Directors but she also 
co-chaired the Special Events Committee.  She was very supportive of all our endeavours.  
We will miss seeing her, not only at the Seniors Centre, but also at the Aurora Farmer’s Market - and we will miss eating her delicious array of jams.
We send our sympathy to Frank and Laura and Family.

We were very sorry to hear about Jan’s passing.  She was an active and valuable member of the Aurora Seniors Association for many years.  She will be greatly missed.

Our condolences to her family.

Jan was a lovely person who always supported the ASC in participating and volunteering her time. We were so grateful to see Jan at  all our choir concerts as well.  A permanent smile on her face that will be sorely missed. Such a loss for the ASC
May  she rest in peace. 

So sorry to hear of Jan's passing. Heartfelt sympathy to her family and friends. She will be missed and especially at the Seniors Centre and Farmer's Market.  May she rest in peace.  Gone too soon.

I’m so very sorry to hear of Jan’s passing. She was so lovely and such a wonderful person. I enjoyed working with her on our theatre productions. Jan’s jams and jellies were delightful. Her column in our local newspaper about the Aurora Farmers Market kept us all informed. She loved the outdoor concerts at the Town Park as well. Always active and cheerful Jan will be truly missed by so many people.

JUST WANTED TO SAY SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS.
I KNEW HER FROM THE SENIORS CENTRE AND THE FARMER'S MARKET FOR HER GREAT JAMS...

Remember her from working alongside her in the kitchen at the seniors centre.  She was actively involved in the Centre. Also a great jam maker.  Sorry for your loss.
