It is with profound sadness we recognize the passing of Janet Stewardson; a founding board member of Thunder Bay Family Network. And we offer our sincere condolences to her family and friends.

Her knowledge, skills, passion, and commitment to individuals and their families contributed greatly to building our network as well as so many other groups and organizations throughout Northwestern Ontario. She believed in the gifts, dreams, and strengths that every person brings to this world, no matter what their circumstances or disability may be.

Thank you Janet for everything you brought to our community; we will always be grateful.
