we will miss you on the hiking trails, and remember your quiet demeanour, sense of humour and your inner strengths.
Rest in Peace

Hi Janet, I met you at the Multiple Myeloma group, and then many times snowshoeing up the mountain. I hope you are enjoying the view from the other side. My thoughts are with you and your family. We will miss your quiet presence at the meetings. Fly with the eagles!
Christine Nichols

Janet - I will miss you in the B.C. and Washington State mountains enjoying the fall colours and wildlife, eating blueberries, snowshoeing and also camping and hiking with the Skyline Hikers of the Canadian Rockies. Rest in peace. Kate.

I will never snowshoe to Dam and Thinderbird without missing you. You epitomized the "zen" on top of the mountain.  You enriched our lives.
Lyn Grants

I will miss you (along with Lyn) when we snowshoe on Grouse Mountain.   Our meetings at Thunderbird Ridge marvelling that we lived only a few minutes from this glorious sight.   Wonderful Memories and Never to be Forgotten.    You will be remembered very fondly.
Sincerely, Carol Ensor.

Some of Janet's freinds in Vancouver have written this announcement to be forwarded to Nature Vancouver, the Golden Age Hikers, North Shore Hikers and the Wild Bird Trust to use as an announcement of her death:

It is with great sadness that we report that Janet Wright died on September 9, 2012, following a long illness (multiple myeloma).  She was an avid naturalist, hiker, and photographer, and will be missed by her many friends who shared her love of the great out-of-doors and appreciated her sense of humour and strength of character.

As an older brother I have many many memories throughout your life, especially of your great love of the outdoors and wonders of nature. I greatly miss your sincere personality and your journey thru life ended much too soon. You are dearly missed.
Mike Pisio

Maggie

Janet, I'll miss our hikes when we visited Vancouver along with your cheery smile. We miss you & will keep you in our hearts forever.

Janet , in the seven decades that I've known you, I can not remember ever seeing you angry, but I can always remember your mischievious sense of humor. I miss the many intelligent conversations, and regret that I could not help you with your final burden. You have been a great little sister.We will meet again on the other side.
Matt     Angels Camp Ca.
