I didn't know Janice all that well, but she was one of those special people that leaves a very large impression on all the lives they touch. Even after 11 hours on an tough Ironman course, she still had that big infectious smile. She will be missed, But her Ironspirit will remain with us forever......

I am so shocked and sad to hear about the sudden, tragic accident. Janice was a great person, so fun to be around, and so kind-hearted. I am glad to have known her and could call her a friend. My heart goes out to her husband Cam and her young children, as well as to the rest of the Plewes' family and the Webster family. I can't imagine your pain, but I hope the memory of Janice will give you the strength and inspiration you need.

Cam and family,
I bumped into Janice a few weeks ago at the zoo. She had your 3 beautiful kids in tow and said she was then heading out for a long bike (typical!) I thought at that time "wow" she really can do it all and was thoroughly impressed! In a lot of ways we have lived parallel lives including often being side-by-side in training and triathlons. She will live on in so many ways including continuing to inspire me to "take a huge bite out of life"!

To the family of a wondeful, delightful woman, my heart goes out to you. I met Janice for the first time while training in Pentiction for Ironman 2003. I remember like it was yesterday that I was riding the course and caught up with Janice around the Keremous area. We both had immense back pain, and were laughing and crying together just to get through it. From that year forward I would bump into Janice at Ironman events, at the curling club hill and the Y, though it was infrequent Janice had an impact on my life and I'm glad I got to know her. I was at the memorial service yesterday and was amazed by all the lives she touched. Now when I see a penny or have a tough day I will think of Janice and her drive and determination and will be inspired by her to suck it up and move forward:)

Dear Gary, Margaret and all of your extended family,
Dave and I are so very sorry to learn of Janice's tragic passing. I met her through our time at CAPP. Recall at one point, she was recovering from a very serious accident and remember thinking, for a young person, how strong, focused and positive she was about overcoming her injuries. Now, reading about what she accomplished in such a short life, I am overwhelmed at your loss. May our warm thoughts and your wonderful memories of Janice bring you all some measure of comfort in the weeks ahead. Sincerely, Dave and Ann

Cam, Anna, Andrew, Amy, and family, there are no words to express our sympathy to you all at this time of your loss. I remember meeting Janice at a Christmas party in Calgary, a few of us ladies were sitting at the table discussing our running adventures, Janice said " Yah, I should try running some time." Well that she did, the following summer to find out she was doing the Ironman, I was in awe of her drive. Then to read Janices accounts of the race afterward had me in tears with laughture, she had such a great sense of humor. I will always treasure the memories, she was a great person. Take peace in knowing she is in Gods hands.

Gary, Margaret and Family -
I enjoyed getting to know Janice a bit while she was working in Ottawa with Nortel. I remember her as someone with a great sense of humour and quiet charm. (We got tired of trying to figure out our relationship and decided to just call each other cousins, and we both got a kick out of the fact that we share the same middle name.) I was deeply saddened to hear of her passing, and my thoughts are with you - and her husband and children - at this very difficult time.

Gary, Margaret and family,
Like everyone else, we were shocked and deeply saddened when we heard of the tragic passing of Janice. As you know, even though we have not communicated as much with you as we should have over the years, you and your family have always been in our minds and hearts. Janice in particular was special to us because of her boundless energy, enthusiasm and interest in every moment we shared with her during her growing years. Regretably, we will not be able to make it to the celebration of her life memorial service, but we plan to visit you when we are next in Calgary (September 11-13). Our heartfelt prayers and condolensces go out to you, Cam and the entire family, Rick and Kate Hoos

I knew Janice from Scarlett days, and we kept in touch for a few years following high school. Like many I was shocked and deeply saddened to hear of her recent passing. Although we hadn't spoken in years, I will always remember what a happy and funny person she was, as the expression goes she was lit from within. My deepest condolences to her family.

Hello Cam, I have to tell you that your wife was a great person. I meet her in november last year, with her smile she made you feel as if life was a great journey. Be strong for your kids and don't leave the world of sport that she loved so much.

I was truly saddened by the news of such a tragic accident which resulted in the the passing Janice. I went to Andrew Sibbald, Nickle Jr High and EP Scarlett with Janice and we were very dear friends, especially in our younger years. I have not seen her since graduation, but the memories will be cherished forever. Much love and prayers to your family...God is a lucky man to have her!

I met Janice years ago through Critical Speed. I was struck immediately by what a kind soul she was. I was always surprised that someone who was that nice could also have such a strong competitive spirit and drive. Janice was the epitome of what so many people strive to be...successful in all aspects of her life without sacrificing her identity or her ability to give to others. Although I haven't talked to Janice in a few months, her passing affected me tremendously. Best wishes and prayers to her family, Cam and those beautiful children. I am so saddened that the world will no longer feel her positive impact.

I want you to know how much I enjoyed working with you guys when I live in Calgary. I am sad to hear of your lost. You are in my prayer and thoughts daily. You were best to have such a wonderful wife and mother. In the many years I have been a nanny I have never seen such a loving, caring mom. She always had a camera out to capture each moment with you. Even when I was there with you she still thinking of you. She love the time she spent with you. I am glad she was in my life. She taught me to love sweet potatoes. She had a great recipe for them that I use a lot and get bug because i eat them so much. She was very kind to me and my dog. She will be sadly miss by all who love her. My heart goes out to you all. Love Former nanny.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
