 Hi
 Patience, Friday night was a beautiful memorial
 and celebration of life for Janet. She was so loved and
 respected. I witnessed the great strength and resilience of
 the African community here in the lower mainland. It was a
 very inspiring evening and I felt honoured to be a part of
 it.Take good care of yourself during this time of
 grieving Patience.Kath

 To her family and
 everyone:
 If you are
 unaware, there is a site called "Go Fund Me" where
 you can always ask for donations to help someone or
 something. Please check it because sometimes it can help ask
 for donations if you need them.

 Hi all,I did a
  Facebook search and sure enough it was Janet M. Who has
 passed away. It is very tragic - she will be so missed
 ...
 Here is what was
 shared very publicly on Facebook:
 "Janet Mbugua or Mama Njeri as
 most of us knew her passed away on January  29th 2016. She
 was enroute to Vancouver after a 3 week trip visiting her
 family in Kenya. Janet traveled to Kenya with her close
 friends for many years Mama Njoki & Mama Miano (Grace
 & Ann). 
 On the
 flight back home, Janet collapsed and appeared to be having
 difficulty breathing. The airline personnel and other
 passengers in the medical field attended to her promptly and
 the plane was diverted to Edmonton. Upon arrival at the
 airport, Janet was met by ambulance attendants who
 immediately intubated her and transported her to Leduc
 Community Hospital in Edmonton. Mama Miano (Ann) accompanied
 her to the hospital while the rest of the family (Mama Njoki
 & other relatives continued to their final
 destination).
 The
 emergency room doctors at Leduc Hospital attempted to
 resuscitate her, but unfortunately she was pronounced dead
 on arrival. The doctor suspects her death was caused by a
 pulmonary embolism; however an autopsy is still pending to
 confirm the actual cause of her death. 
 It was a shocking and traumatic end
 to what was a much anticipated trip to Kenya to visit her
 children. Janet has resided in Canada since 2008 and this
 was her first trip to Kenya since that time. Many who met
 her will remember her warm smile and genuine joy. She will
 be missed by her close friends here in Canada and her
 beloved children who are all in Kenya.
 Her body is still at Leduc Hospital
 in Edmonton. Plans are under way for transport to Kenya.
 There will be a memorial service and fundraising to help
 offset the expenses. Date and venue will be confirmed
 shortly. Please continue to pray and offer support to all
 who knew and loved her."
