Grandma JJ as she was affectionately known, was playful, involved and completely active in the lives of her grandchildren, attending school concerts and cheering at hockey games until her final days. Family meant the world to Janet. She created lasting memories through holidays and traditions and held on to celebrate Easter one last time, sharing her special gifts as a cook and host. The family would like to acknowledge the compassionate care of Dr. John Simpson in Uxbridge and Dr. Rena Buckstein at Sunnybrook Hospital; along with the caring nurses at Uxbridge Cottage Hospital. Friends will be received at the DENNIS TOLL FUNERAL HOME, 55 Charing Cross Street, Brantford on Friday, April 27th, 2012 from 2-4 and 7-9 p.m. with a Beta Sigma Phi memorial at 9 p.m. A Funeral Service will be held in the funeral home chapel on Saturday, April 28th, 2012 at 10:00 a.m. Interment to follow at Mount Hope Cemetery.

Notes:

Emil Vogelsang met Matthias Riener in New York City in 1873 and invited him to locate in Berlin. When Mr. and Mrs. Riener learned that there was a Swedenborgian Church here they decided to come over. Mr. Riener had learned the cutter's trade in Vienna and after his arrival here he began business as a merchant tailor in Berges & Shelley's former stand in Frederick Street. In 1893, Mr. Riener rebuilt the structure. The contractor piled 15,000 bricks in the street. One Saturday morning, the farmers' wagons caused a traffic jam. A ruffled citizen summoned Chief Winterhalt, who ordered Wm. Polomski, mason-tender, to remove the bricks. "Ja, Ja," said William, "before you kin with to King Street und beck the pricks vill be avay."
