Family was the cornerstone of Janet’s life. She cherished every moment spent with her loved ones. Janet was immensely proud of her siblings-Brian, Karen, and Nancy, who all held a very special place in her heart. We are blessed to have had this connection.

Some of Janet’s favourite memoires were made travelling the world with her sister Nancy. Enjoying adventures, discovering new places, and meeting new people. She especially enjoyed her unforgettable cruise through the Orient. These journeys reflect Janet’s love for exploration, her curiosity about the world, and her appreciation for life's simple beauty.
