Oct 19, 2024I am truly saddened by Nan's passing. I have only known her (and Dave) for a few years through our meeting both at CFUW events as well as the ODAC HeART's programme, but it was impossible to meet Jan and not quickly become a friend. We will miss her smile and her energy at our CFUW events. My heartfelt condolences to Dave and the family. Diane Porteous

Oct 18, 2024Nan, we have met a number of times walking or at “happy hour” after we moved into the Villages of Leacock. Your optimism and joy were so transparent for all to see and enjoy. Dear family… it was a pleasure to have met and spent a little time with Nan… our sincere condolences. Julia and Ted
