Condolences

Condolence From: Renee Marquis-Antle
Condolence: Janet and I did voice over work together for several years and we understood each other. In the boiler maker atmosphere of a recording studio when your creative sparks are flying it's a bit like a Petri dish for growing connections. Janet and I got each other's wry and sardonic humour from the first moment we shared a booth. Hers was a rare gift for understatement, of less is more. And there was always so much more to Janet than met the eye. Complex, curious and beautiful, we actually danced when we discovered that we shared the same birthday, although in different years. When I read that she had "lost her battle with cancer" my immediate response was this; No she did not. She just took her out point before it got even worse. She is not gone. She is just out of a failed body. She did not lose her battle, she made a decision. That is Janet. She chooses. She lost nothing. I will miss her living in her body but her beingness is not extinguished. Not Janet's. Never Janet's. "Well hello, all, how does THIS gig work." Echoing in Heaven this very minute......see you there.....love always. I wish you the comfort of knowing that your Janet's bright light shines on.

Condolence: Dear Edmonds Family, I met Janet at MUN shortly after her Miss Newfoundland crowning. Although I did not know her well, I soon discovered, like many others, that she was a beautiful person with a kind heart. Her generous spirit and kindness to me at that time, I have never forgotten. I wish you all peace and love. Sincerely, Michelle

Condolence From: Kelly McAllister
Condolence: I'm so very sorry for your loss. My sister Susan and I worked at the Park Avenue Tim Hortons when it first opened. Joy and I were in the same grade and Janet was in the same grade as my brother. As a seventeen year old girl, I remember feeling intimidated by Janet's beauty and her accomplishment of becoming Miss Newfoundland. What I soon discovered is Janet was as beautiful inside as she was on the outside, much like her sister Joy. May you all be comforted by the outpouring of love and support surrounding you. "And we wept that one so lovely should have a life so brief." - William Cullen Bryant

Condolence From: Lorne Gradwell
Condolence: I was happy to re-connect with Janet after many years during a visit to Newfoundland in January 2016. I had learned through mutual friends that the cancer I had heard was in remission had returned. We spent a couple of pleasant hours reminiscing over coffee downtown and shared a few laughs about youthful memories. She brought me up-to-date on her situation and prognosis and I left feeling quite humbled by her strength and courage. I am happy to hear that she was surrounded by such good and faithful friends. My deepest condolences to Joy, her parents and family, and the wonderful friends who provided such loving support.

Condolence From: Lois Berrigan
Condolence: Mr. and Mrs. Edmonds and Joy, I am truly sorry to hear of Janet's passing. Even though I only knew her less than a month I felt that I had known her all my life. She was truly a remarkable person, who loved everyone and everything. We met when my 92 year old mother was in hospital with her. Mom was praying for her each and every night and was very sad when I relayed the news to her on Sunday morning. Janet seems to touch everyone that she met in a very positive way. I only can wish that I have the attitude and love for life that she has had. She had told me that she was ready to die but didn't want people to be sad for her. How could you not be? She was truly a remarkable person that I wish I had to meet earlier in my life. My heart goes out to your family and her closest friends. Saying prayers and holding you in my thoughts.

Condolence: "Come what sorrow can, It cannot countervail the exchange of joy, That one short minute gives me in her sight." I echo Shakespeare and add that knowing Janet brings me happiness in memories that will never be diminished. To the Edmonds family, stay strong in your own memories. Janetta (as I used to call her), you will stay on in the hearts of everyone who knew you.
