It is with a heavy heart that I wake to a world  without Jo Honeyman in it. Although it had been close to twenty years since we last spoke, I always took comfort in the knowledge that she was out there, living life to the fullest, somewhere on this planet. I cannot over state the affect our shared experience had on me. We lived, laughed, and loved together. We performed, painted, and built scenery together. We shared our formative years together. For all of it, I will be forever grateful. Although I will feel her loss the rest of my days, I choose to celebrate the fact that I was lucky enough to have spent even a fraction of my life with this remarkable woman. To all who knew her, she will be missed. And to all who loved her, she is loved, always.

Jocelyn was a great friend and she will always be in my heart.  I wish we could have spent more time together and enjoy art together.  I miss her very much and hope she is happy in a better world.

Friday evening October 4, 2014 my ex-wife Jocelyn Honeyman, mother of our son Gage (10) and his twin sister Miranda who we lost at just 4 months, passed away quietly and peacefully.

Strong-minded, intense, restless, free-spirited and driven to run, to design, to teach, to do everything at once, she was valiant in a two-year battle with lung cancer that took her away a piece at a time, until in the last week she could affirm her life and final wishes with those around her, then sleep.

She left more behind than she ever knew, at only 57. 

My deepest gratitude to family, friends and neighbours for helping her, me and Gage through this long challenge.

Celebrating, laughing, and dancing until the wee hours of the morning in the carpentry shop at the Banff Centre. Linda, Wes, Jo and Dix. What a glorious summer! So many memories.
I love you Jo.

I remembered Jo when I first started at the Toronto Studio Players however she disappeared after that. She had long hair however she would shave the back so that the hair would go down straight and that was the first time I've ever seen somebody do that.  When her hair was down you wouldn't know. That one moment stuck out in my mind..

To my dear old friend James and family, I am so very sorry to learn of your loss. My heartfelt condolences to all of you.

I am so sad to hear about Jo (Jocelyn)  as I called her. She was an incredible friend, and roommate. We lived together for three years as teenagers and then life got busy. She was incredibly generous, an amazing artist and wise beyond her years. I know she’ll be missed by everyone who knew her. 
Love 
Kate

I have very formative memories of “Jo” from the 80s, we were teenagers, part of a core theatre troupe called Toronto Studio Players. She is forever etched in my heart. I remember so vividly Jo’s talent, focus and commitment to whatever task she took on. I remember her beauty and generosity of spirit. Once, I saw her from afar in the subway holding the hands of very elderly people, helping them, tenderly, to their destination. In our equally busy adult lives, I tried to reconnect over the years but to no avail. I am both saddened and shocked of this news. Jo is formative to me, and always will be. My sad condolences to those who loved her.  May her soul be in peace. - Liz Marshall

I remember Jo as an enthusiastic & creative teen performing in Toronto Studio Players, building sets, helping with flamboyant costumes, alongside my daughter Liz Marshall.  She was so full of life then, & from reading her family’s beautiful obituary of her many passions and of her son,  I am so sad to learn of her passing. May she be held in eternal Love.

I am very sadden to hear about Jocelyn's passes and my heart goes out to Gage and the rest of her family. 57 is too young. I have know her since grade school and we have been in and out of touch for years. She was a wonderful mother and I know nothing meant more to her than Gage. She will be missed.

Jocelyn will be fondly remembered as someone with fierce integrity, a strong and loving spirit and an incredibly big heart. She will be dearly missed by all of us at DVAD
We send our deepest sympathies to her family, especially Gabe who we had the great pleasure of meeting when he and Jocelyn came to Vancouver last summer.

I first remember Jocelyn (who was very distantly a cousin) at her mother’s memorial. She was beautiful, as always, and she mentioned how lonely she felt in Vancouver.  Somehow she ended up joining my weekly Buddhist dharma sharing group. She was living in kits and madly in love with Bruce. What an amazing woman! Left home at 16 and supported herself through her education and careers. So bright and intelligent. She was very devoted to her son, who is as bright as his mother.  What a sad, great loss. I hope her next life (if you believe in that), is a happier, much easier one. She certainly deserves it.  My condolences to Bruce, Gage and her brothers. Love cuz, Nora

To all of Jocelyn's Family and Friends especially Gage. My thoughts and prayers are with you all during this difficult time. May you take comfort in the memories of love and laughter that each of you shared with Jocelyn. She was an amazing human who had many roles in life and will be dearly missed. 

With sympathy, 

Jackie
