I have just now learned of Jane´s passing and know that the world lost a beautiful soul. We were classmates at SDCI. Even then, one knew that Jane would make her mark in life. I was especially proud of her for Somerville house books - such a wonderful and meaningful venture. To Mary and Neil, and all of Jane´s family, my very belated condolences.

We are so sorry to hear about Jane's passing just now (thanks Julian for the beautiful memory on Linkedin). We last saw Jane at a "Concert at Lyric Pond" a summer or two before the pandemic set in. Yes, as usual, she was gracious and friendly while smiling and dancing despite her challenge. Through the "Boys of '81" involvement in the NT Select hockey program, Jane was a great sport and a supportive and vocal "hockey parent" and a team sponsor. We are thankful for her life, legacy and impact.

It was a pleasure to have known her. Jane was one of those people who leave a very positive impression which doesn't fade away.

I have not seen Jane since her brother John died. I went to school with her sister Mary and would trip upon her from time to time. I admired this big sister of Mary and when I stopped to see Agnes after John died, Jane was the only child home. She was amazing. She and Agnes and I chatted for hours. I admired her so much.

My Dear David and family
I am so very sorry to receive this news. I know it was expected but it hurts so much when it really happens.
Jane was a star in my last Mad River Revue presented to the Club in 2011 and she was great! I wish I had known her longer--I am so impressed with her accomplishments. She really loved to sing.
Please accept my heartfelt sympathy and best wishes

Jane gave me my first publishing job moving back to Toronto. She was an energetic, creative, and visionary entrepreneur. More importantly for me personally, she was incredibly supportive - providing me opportunities to develop, take on exciting new challenges, and gracious in recognizing contributions from her team. I am so grateful to Jane for providing me such strong mentorship early in my career and life. She made an impact on my life for which I am forever grateful. My condolences to David, Justin, Julian and families.

So very sorry to hear of Jane's passing She was a lovely girl and the years we spent together at SDCI were such fun. We were cheerleaders for the Strathroy Saints. We were always in the same home room at school and were good friends.

Never to be forgotten for her courage, love of life and enthusiastic embrace of every adventure. What a legacy was wrought by your creativity, unbelievable energy, cleverness and commitment to the world of literature, the arts, to children and so many communities in Toronto.
Jane you will be etched in my memory, an important friend. My heartfelt condolences from the West Coast to David, Julian and Jordan and your extensive and extended family. I was just thinking of you the other day.

My sincerest condolences to Jane's family and friends at her recent passing. Jane and I worked together after a meeting at a Barry Nicholls party in the early 70s at the old Canadian Forum where she was the assistant editor. For the royal sum of $25 per drawing, Jane charmed me into drawing some of the most iconic writers and artists of our generation for her for about two years thereafter. Due to business pressure, I left to work as an art director for Peter C.Newman and Maclean's Magazine in the mid-70s. Back then Jane was a wonderfully gifted talent who radiated with charm and grace. She will be truly missed by the world of literature. RIP sweet lady. -ciao angelo sgabellone
