Dear family and friends,

Thank you to everyone who has reached out with condolences, cards, memories, hugs and kind words (and lots of yummy goodies!) following Mom/Jenny’s sudden passing. Your support has meant so much to all of us.

We would be honoured to have you join us at a Celebration of Life for Jenny on Sunday, July 19th, 2026 at 10:00am PDT. The Celebration will be at the Greenview Taphouse (Fairwinds Golf Clubhouse) at 2730 Fairwinds Drive, Nanoose Bay, BC. Following a few words from family and friends, we will gather and have time to share memories of Jenny over light refreshments.

Please RSVP via this link by July 11, 2026. This will help us to confirm catering numbers and to send the live-stream information to those who are unable to attend in-person.

A gentle reminder that if you have a story, memory, or photo(s) you would like to share, we would be grateful if you could add it to Jenny’s memorial page. 

In lieu of flowers, donations in Jenny’s memory can be made on our Canada Helps page. 

We hope you can join us, in person or in spirit, as we gather to remember and celebrate the life of our beloved Jenny/Mom.

With love,
Tony, Andrew, and David
