Deepest sympathy Lois on the death of your sister. It sounds as if she was a wonderful person. May your memories help console you and your family.
Doug, Maxine and the Tipton family;
Mary and I are deeply sorry and saddened to hear of Janet’s passing.
During the late 60’s I worked at Concrete Products on Brookfield Road. At that time the company was managed by Mr. Jack Tipton and I believe Janet worked there in the main office during the busy summer seasons. I remember Janet as always having a big smile and with a wonderful laugh. She had the ability to brighten everyone’s day.
I know that Janet will be thoroughly missed by her family and friends but you will be comforted and blessed by the memories you share..
Please accept our sincere condolences and may she rest in eternal peace.
Dennis and Mary

Dear Lois, Andrea, Doug, and the Tipton family,
I was so deeply saddened to hear about Janet’s passing.
Janet had such warmth and kindness about her. My fondest memories are of the many celebrations we shared together. Whether birthdays, baby showers, weddings, or work celebrations — it didn’t matter what the occasion was — Janet was always there. She was an important part of our lives, and her presence at those milestones meant so much. She truly cared, and it showed.
And of course, there are the amazing memories of my childhood at Lawrence Pond, which Janet was such a big part of. Those were times when I felt like the most loved and doted on little girl in the world.
Joe also has such fond memories of Janet and always appreciated her humour, warmth and kindness. And Samantha remembers the wonderful times that she and Janet spent together when she was a little girl.
Janet made a beautiful, lasting impression on all of us.
Thinking of all of you and sending our love during this difficult time.
With love,
Karen, Joe & Samantha

Our deepest condolences to the Tipton family.
Our hearts are broken today.
Janet was a cousin and dear friend. Beautiful memories of her traverse over a lifetime….Fun January moments at Dartmouth Pl., summer fun at Lawrence Pond and memorable times in Toronto. Through it all, Janet was the anchor. A true friend who navigated us all through the good and bad times.
Everyone who knew Janet loved her. Her extreme kindness, her generosity of spirit and impeccable fashion sense made her a joy to be around. Without a doubt, Janet was a class act. Our solace today is that we all were a part of her life and, fortunately, we had the opportunity to walk in her presence.
Lois,
Sorry to hear of the passing of your sister . Cherish your many memories and all the good times
