Dear friends,
today is a sad day for us, especially me Gregory and my humans, too. Three years ago on September 28th 2018 our first friends we ever met on internet -the early days of Facebook- Jed Bramwell & his sidekick Tito became orphans. Their wonderful human mum DJ passed away. She was so brave, but alas she lost her fight against cancer.
We are blessed we got friended  and that our friendship lastet for so many years. Meeting her in person in Vancouver in September 2008 & a second time in 2010 was a wonderful, precious experience. She was so young at heart, lively, creative, warmhearted, full of joy of life! 
She made us laugh and happy by sharing Jed and Tito’s adventures with us on several fluffy communities.
Her skills in building Jed and Tito a perfect sized house and village, the rooms and all fine details were amazing!
All these lovely memories will last and will always remind us to our wonderful friend DJ Dyer.
Fulfilling her last will, DJ’s family entrusted her ashes to the vastness of the sea, the Pacific Ocean.
So, every single wave is a recall to DJ, our dear friend.


We never met in person but DJ (Jed, Tito and  at times Jorge) was one of the first people I met online quite a few years ago.  First it was through the "Anipals" on Twitter and then on Facebook.  So many people loved her little creations that she shared with all of us through Jed and Tito.  She was so talented. Whenever you might be having a bad day you could always count on a giggle or smile.  She also shared her beautiful Vancouver.  She was taken from this world way too soon and will be missed by many.  Wish so much that we all would have been given more time with her. Am so glad we were friends and will treasure the memories. 

DJ was a beacon of light for us, she and Jed & Tito were there at the start of our lives together, became a part of it with almost daily references.
DJ showed us that it was OK to believe in something more and innocent.

We never met her sadly, but loved her as a very dear friend and miss her every day.

Kindest regards to all her family and love to Jed & Tito.

I offer my deep, heartfelt condolences to Deb Dyer's family at this time of loss. I remember Deb as a bright star in Digital Graphic Design class at VCC in 1997 - 78 taught by Judy Roy. Deb was an early adopter to learning things not yet on the curriculum, like Flash and Dreamweaver. She learned quickly and incorporated in the design of her first website. 
Another class Deb excelled animation. I shared an idea for an animation project with Deb and she brought two of her tin toys to class - her ice cream vendor and the crocodile who spit fire. I used the ice cream vendor to design an animation which had a pleasing result.

I lost touch with Deb when the course ended. I thought of her often over the years and wondered how she was doing. I was saddened to read of her passing. I never read the obits; however I made an exception this day as the newspaper was in front of me while I was waiting for my car's diagnostic results in a dealership. I have no doubt her spirit lives on as a bright, creative star in this vast universe playground we are part of.

I live in Vancouver and cannot make the event; however, my thoughts and prayers are with the family at this time.

Sincerely,
Laurie Kingdon

Some people you never meet, but that doesn't make any less a friend. To share the same loves, feel the same feelings, think the same thoughts with others who may be on the other side of the world shouldn't be any different to those you share your every day life with. This was the case with DJ (and Jed and Tito). Although we never met we shared good (and bad) times together. Fly high with the angels DJ. You belong to them now 

No matter how prepared we thought to be for her passing away, it still was a shock, and it still hurts very deeply.
We first met DJ in the early days of Facebook.
I am an author of teddy bear stories and was delighted to meet a ‚teddy bear soul mate‘ in DJ.
My teddy bear Gregory immediately got friended with Jed Bramwell and his sidekick Tito under the guidance of their human mum DJ.
It was a perfect match my husband and I were about to visit Canada for the first time in September 2008.
When we visited Vancouver we met her and Jed in real life.
We will always treasure the memories of the great time we enjoyed together also on our second visit in 2010.
She was so young at heart, lively, creative, warmhearted, her generosity of giving love to all beings was endless.
She made us laugh and happy by sharing Jed and Tito’s adventures with us on several fluffy communities.
Her skills in building Jed and Tito a perfect sized house and village, the rooms and all fine details were amazing!
All these lovely memories will last and will always remind us to our wonderful friend DJ Dyer.
We are blessed to have known a woman like her.
Farewell dear DJ… someday we will meet again.
Until then we've to try 
...stop crying our heart out…
We're all of us stars
We're fading away
Just try not to worry
We'll see us some day…


I worked with Deb way back in the BC Liquor Control days as a floater. We'd often work the same shift at Arbutus, West Broadway, Fourth Avenue, etc. Sometimes a group of us would go out for a snack at midnight, when the afternoon shift was over. Deb was a force. She was sharp, smart, attractive and funny. I must confess to having had a bit of a secret crush on her. I lost track of her after I moved on from the LCB, but I've thought of her often over the years and am sad to hear of her passing. Her brightness, her humour and her sense of fun were memorable. I wish I'd kept up with her.
