Our most sincere sympathies to the family and friends of Jane

Death notice for the town of: Markham, Province: Ontario
My sincere condolences to Jordan and family for your loss of Jane especially during this unusually difficult time.
Such a bright and inviting individual, always a pleasure to speak with during my many neighbourhood walks over the years.
Hugh
Very upset to learn that my nearly 50-year friend and former teaching colleague has passed away. Jane fought the most incredibly courageous fight against cancer. Awe-inspiring to be sure.
I send my warmest thoughts to Jordan and the rest of Jane’s family. Forever in my thoughts. May she rest in the peace that she has earned.
