Janice STARKO

So very saddened to hear the news of Janice's passing. Myron, Leona and I have very fond memories of our family gatherings with all the Starkos at Pigeon Lake long ago, and I know that Gene also worked with Janice directly on some film projects. She was a gifted lady . . . we are so sorry for your loss.

I had not seen Janice for years and then a month or so ago ran into her in Revelstoke at a gas station - we were both headed to BC. We reminisced about our boys (Simon and Joe) and I have since thought of the great times they all had out at their cabin when the boys were in school. We were part of a babysitting coop too; she was always gracious, beautiful and kind. Our love and prayers are with the family.

I am so sad. You were a very special friend. You took me to The Rockies for my first visit. I loved hearing your news on my return visits. Please contact me. [email protected]

When Janice and Caitlin visited our family long ago she remarked that I was so fortunate to work right next to a beautiful park, and later she would send faxes to my office asking "Did you go into that park today?" It was such a simple and lasting reminder to be grateful.

My soul honors your soul

I am so sorry for your loss and that I didn't have an opportunity to really get to know Janice better. Rory, my thoughts are with you and your family.

Our sincere condolences to all of Janice's family, especially Caitlin, Joe, and Rory. There is so much to miss, but I especially loved her beautiful smile and big laugh. Rest in peace Janice.

Janice was a good friend. I always enjoyed talking to her; it gave me a sense of calm. She was articulate, kind-hearted, wise and gracious. I also loved her sense of humour. Selfishly, I would have wanted more time to know Janice; I already miss her. Wishing you all the strength and courage you will need to sustain you. May it comfort you to know that Janice is at peace.

I am so very sorry your loss. Janice was a beautiful mentor to me this past year, and I will truly miss her. Know that the wise guidance, true compassion, and loving friendship she gifted me and so many others will continue rippling out. Wishing you peace in this difficult time.

My heart is sad for the loss of such a beautiful human being. Janice was not only a gentle soul but a caring person to both colleagues and students. She was loved by her students and went the extra mile for them. I send prayers and love to her children, especially Katelyn who I have never met but feel like I know through Janice's eyes. Her deep love for her daughter was indescribable to me. Katelyn, I will continue to pray for you and your healing. Your mom loved you so much and always had a smile when she spoke about you. You can be sure that she is sending prayers down from heaven now. God bless and caring thoughts, Carmel White-Gloria (colleague and friend)

With a heart bigger than life Janice transformed the lives of her students and all who came to know her. We have been blessed by her presence. May her passing on "all Soul's Day" remind us that we remain united in spirit.

Our hearts are filled with tears and sadness, but our memories are filled with smiles and laughter of the good times we have shared together .
Our loving thoughts embrace you. Sharron Christie & Eric Mooney
