They moved to Swift Current where they started their life together later moving to Outlook and ultimately returning to Saskatoon to make this city their home where Janet continued to raise her children and make a home for her family. She soon became involved with the Festival of Trees. Janet was dedicated to this wonderful annual event and spent countless hours contributing her time and efforts to its success. Her love of this season carried over to her house which was always beautifully decorated. Janet's life focus was her family. She enjoyed many family trips and holidays and cherished the time she could spend with family and friends at their Christopher Lake Cabin. Her love and caring will be a legacy carried forever by husband Darcy and her three children Adam, Cole, and Drew. Janet will be dearly missed and fondly remembered by her loving family and many friends.

Our sincere sympathy in the lost of your Mom. It has been 30 years since I would have seen your Mom last. I am a friend of her cousin, Sandra Treble, and have many wonderful memories of times spent at Manitou Beach at Treble's cabin. We also travelled together to B.C. with Treble's for a summer holiday in our early teen. I have been thinking lots of those memories, and my hope for you is that you have many terrific memories to hold close. Your Mom will never be forgotten, as many of our hold her in our hearts.

Dear Drew & family,

You don't know me, but I graduated from Evan Hardy this year. I lost my Dad to cancer in June and was searching to look at his guestbook again when I randomly found your Mom's book and knew that your name sounded familiar. I've never done anything like this before but I want to express my condolences to all of you. You will survive. My prayers are with you.

A few years ago I had the pleasure of getting to know Janet, Darcy and the boys while on a trip to Cancun. As two young girls travelling alone, the Tofin's "adopted" my friend Erin and I for the week. We shared many laughs and lots of great memories. Whenver I think back to that trip I am always reminded of the kindness of the Tofin family and the good times we shared with them. I was so sorry to hear of Janet's passing. She was a truly special person. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
