Janet, you will forever be etched in our hearts as a person of extraordinary beauty, grace, and kindness. It has been a privilege to have known you. Rest in peace Peter and Selina

I am so sad and sorry for the passing of your Beautiful Mum Glen and my deepest sympathy goes to you, Tori and Stella. It has been my upmost pleasure and honour to do your hair over the past years Janet and I am so going to miss your monthly visits and our laughs together. Your were always so immaculate and gracious and even though I got you to show me your drivers license to prove your age I still don’t believe you lol . Rest in peace Janet xx Angella

My wonderful friend who absolutely loved life … in particular her family, friends, wine, golf, dining out and travel. I’m finding it so very hard to believe you’re gone forever 😢. We had so much fun - I will miss you so much in my life. RIP beautiful lady 💞

What a fabulous send off for the one & only Nanny Janny! Lovely tributes & so pleased I could tune in from abroad to celebrate Nanny's life! I will miss hearing 'BING BONG' at our kitchen window & seeing Nanny Janny walking up to our door. We'd invite Nanny in for a cheeky glass of wine, to which she would reply "Oh I'll only have the one" - before we knew it a few bottles had been easily deleted, along with a few crackers & cheese! I would always laugh when Nanny would run over the road to get a few more bottles! A couple of times I had to assist her with a torch & an extra pair of hands! I will cherish our times spent swimming at the beach, watching the sunsets, playing mini putt in the section next door & having a good old chin wag! Nanny Janny was the best neighbour & friend, I feel so lucky to have gotten to know her! Cheers to Nanny Janny, I'll be cracking into the cheapest red wine cask I can find when I'm in Spain & finding a spot on the beach to watch the sunset so I can raise a toast!

I had hoped to make it down for today but was able to watch the video of this beautiful service. So many touching tributes and funny stories that depicted exactly how I think of and will remember Aunty Janet - full of life & lots of chats to be had! There is a saying I once heard that I feel applied to her perfectly. "Small in stature but makes up for it in enthusiasm" So special to have spent time with her through the years at Nan & Poppa's when I was down for a visit. I feel honoured to come from a family filled with amazing women like Aunty Janet - vibrant, caring, loving & loved - you will be so missed. Sending my love to you all at this hard time. Em xx

Nanny Janny - the absolute best neighbour you could ever have, with a lolly snake at the ready for the girls or a glass of wine for us. She has been such a constant for our girls and always interested in what they were up to. We will miss her immensely, our street and beach won't be the same without you Nanny Janny. Sorry we missed today's service but we loved hearing all the stories. Big hugs Johnsy, Tori & Stella xox

Such sad news. Thinking of you today Johnsy, Tori and Stella. Much love. Scotty and Fe xxx

Beautiful service for a very special lady May you Rest in Peace and Love Hugs Glen and Tori xx

Our thoughts are with family and friends. We are saddened that we could not be there to share the many joyful stories we are sure will be told today. Janet was a shining light of our neighbourhood and will be sadly missed. Greg and Lyndie

Janet was indeed a pocket rocket and it was always lovely to be greeted by her effervescent personality at reception and the few times we caught up at Mokau. Very kind regards Sam Martin.

So sorry to hear of your loss, Glen, Tori and Stella. Janet was a lovely, happy lady who adored her family. Memories of her - always smiling and busy but always had time for a chat.

My thoughts are with you, Johnsy, Tori & Stella. So many great memories from so many years ago... Such a sad loss of a colorful and cheerful lady you got to call your mum. May today and all the days ahead be filled with the amazing memories you have. RIP Nanny Janny

Glen & Victoria, My thought are with you. A truly lovely lady. Dillon

Nanny Janny. We shared so many laughs and stories (gossip!) over the 19 years I had the privilege to know you. You were so thrilled and proud when Stella was born. I never tired of looking at photos and hearing updates. Your laugh and smile will stay with me. Johnsy, Tori and Stella, my love and thoughts are with you. RIP Nanny Janny

Dear Glen, Tori, Stella and extended family- thinking of you all and sending love at this very sad time and remembering Janet as our neighbour when we lived in Oakura. Julie and Ivan Marinovich and family

We are very sorry to hear of Janet’s passing. I remember back to those happy years where we worked together at Hylin Laundry and still cannot believe that you have gone. We will certainly be thinking of you and your family tomorrow at 2-00pm New Zealand time. RIP Janet. Dudley & Patricia Squire

So sad to hear of the passing of Nanny Janny. Such a special lady. We will miss you. Thoughts and prayers to Johnsie, Tori and Stella. Love from Clare, Johnny, Francesca and Belle

Janet what a bundle of energy you were, I loved our endless chats and laughs at the Sand Castle reception. Our last chat when we bumped into each other recently was no different, always asking after my family and how life was. You will be missed - rest in peace.

Sorry to hear of Janets passing. You were a nice person always willing to discuss your round of golf whether good or bad. Rest in peace Janet!

Dear friend Janet we are going to dearly miss you and your chats, hugs, warmth and sharing in a glass of wine or two. You have left us with fond memories to cherish forever. The 4 of us had so much fun and hearty laughter and great dancing with a wine in our hands. We are going to miss your presence and you will be in our hearts forever Dellwyn, Catherine, Rachel (The Chardy Girls)

A sad loss of a wonderful woman. Your kindness and warmth will never be forgotten. You will be missed by all of our family. Rest in Peace.

We were shocked to hear of Janet's passing. A dear friend to us all. Great memories of our friendship with Janet & Bruce and our wonderful times together. Our sincerest sympathies to Glen and family. RIP Janet.

Dear Glen, Tori and Stella Our heart felt condolences go out to you, for the loss of your beautiful mum and Nana Jan, who loved to chat and was always interested in what the kids were doing. She always had a smile on her face, enjoyed a drink and loved a good laugh. We are sending you hugs and kisses and know that she is resting peacefully. She will be deeply missed. From Brett (Biz), Corina and families xx

A beautiful lady taken too soon. You always had a welcoming smile and such a kind nature. Rest in peace Janet.
