We had the pleasure of working with Will at Stelco and recently learned that he is sharing his computer knowledge by teaching at Mohawk College. We would like to offer our sincere, heartfelt condolences to Will and his family on the loss of his daughter Hermina-Jane. We can not image the void that such a sudden loss would have, we can only hope that the blessing of grandchildren will provide comforting reminders and memories of Hermina-Jane to all of the family. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

It ws shocking and sad to hear that Jane has passed away so suddenly and unexpectedly. Please accept our condolences and be assured of our prayers for you.
We have fond memories of working with Jane at Ancaster Christian Reformed Church while she served there as the Adminstrative Assistant. We will always remember her kind manner, her friendly attitude and her skill at answering the phone.

Be blessed!

Dear Jeff, and family, Will and Hermina
Words cannot express the sorrow you all are experiencing, nor can words take away your pain. In all of this, please know that God is near, that a loving family upholds you, that so many people surround you with prayers and thoughts, that memories are to be kept near to your heart. And most of all, that love does not leave you, in that Hermina-Jane's love for you is made visible in those beautiful boys she gave to you. May they always be her treasured gift to you.
May God's grace, mercy and peace be yours.

From: From: Les and Pat High of Jordan Station. Last summer we enjoyed meeting Hermina-Jane and yourself Jeff, along with your three boys. That hot summer day at son Derek and daughter-in-law Kerri's house is remembered particularly for Hermina-Jane's outgoing conversational manner. We express our shock and share in grief with you and your boys. If we can help, please come by sometime for a hike or visit as the endeavor to rebuild your home life ensues. We will be asking Kerri and Derek to keep us posted also since I'm sure your family will need encouragement.

I would like to express my deepest sympathies to the Klein and Bondy families. I can not begin to imagine your road ahead and the void that has been left behind. HJ was an amazing person and we were so glad to have known her.
When I was a young girl in Hamilton, Michigan, I received a letter from my newest penpal, Hermina-Jane Klein. We were a perfect match. She wanted me to call her HJ because it was just easier. I was 13 and so was she. We talked about family, school, boys, homework, and whatever else crossed our 13 year old minds. We sent our class pictures back and forth to each other - every year, and even maybe a boys picture, too. Sometimes our lives got busy and we didn't write each other for six months at a time but we always knew that letter would come eventually. We continued this "conversation" until our mid-20's or so, when emails were available and we exchanged our email addresses. That was the easiest way and it would save us so much time!! We corresponded now and then, just to make sure each other was ok and to update each other on our friends and boyfriends and the latest thing that impacted our lives. We'd talked about meeting in person and staying for a few days to get to know each other. HJ wanted to see "Tulip Time" in Holland, Michigan, and I was raised 10 miles from there so I was willing to give her the grandest experience. We never made it work. I had wanted to come to Canada and visit at HJ's house, but that too had fallen through. Something had always gotten in the way of the plans. We didn't worry, we just kept reminding each other that we needed to make that happen sometime. Well, emails addresses came and went and sometimes they were changed without notice. A while went by without any correspondence, then came facebook. I found HJ one day on facebook. We chatted and examined pictures of each other's children and families. We re-kindled that friendship like we'd never left each other. We'd write each other every once in a while, reminding each other that we needed to meet sometime and to just to check in and make sure the other was doing well. Of course, we never did make plans to meet, but we would always remind the other that we were anticipating it.
Wednesday night, March 7th, 2013, I returned home from work to see HJ's friend, Julie, posting a beautiful picture of HJ and saying her wonderful good-bye's to an amazing woman and friend. I was speechless. My friend is gone. I've never met HJ in person, nor have we ever talked on the phone, but we were great friends for over 26 years. We always knew the other one would respond and wish the best, no matter how long it had been since we had corresponded last. We never got to meet like we had planned, but some day we will.
I am going to miss you, HJ. I have always loved you as my deerest friend. I would've loved to have met Jeff and your beautiful boys. You have four strong men that will make you very proud. You are so beautiful in every way. I miss you dearly. Rest peacefully, dear. God Bless. Love you. Your penpal, Sheryce.

I met Jane only once at volleyball and though I wasn't able to continue playing I said to my husband that I wish I could just for the social aspect. Specifically, Jane was so warm and kind and welcoming explaining who was related to who and chatting about her family and her long first name(s). I am sure she will be dearly missed by those who loved her. My condolences to her family and friends.

Our family was so shocked to hear of the sudden passing of Hermina-Jane. It's difficult to know what to say and the question of why is almost impossible to answer. For me John 11: 25,26 are the two verses that gave me some peace when my father passed away and hopefuly they can give you some comfort at this tragic time. Our prayers and thoughts are with you at this time. I know your strong faith, Christian friends and loving family will help you get through this.

Our prayers and thoughts go out to you all. Lots of love.

To Jeff and Family,
How could I have ever known that chatting in the registration line at Redeemer in 2000 would become one of the greatest friendships of my life. From scrapbooking, to road trips, to watching ER...Jane was the most genuine, loving and sincere friends that I will ever have. She left a footprint on everyone's heart that she ever met and that has become apparent in the days since her passing. When I think of Jane, I remember the song "Friends are Friends Forever, if the Lord's the Lord of them. A friend will not say never because the welcome never ends. Though its hard to let (Jane) go, in the Father's hands we know, that a lifetime is not too long to live as Friends." May God Bless Jane's family and friends with memories and comfort in the days ahead. Love, James and Allyson

Words can not fully express how sorry we are for your loss. Jeff, we pray that you would be comforted and know that you are never alone, God holds you in His mighty hand. Joshua & Caleb, we pray that you would have memories of your mommy embedded in your mind so that you will never forget what a wonderful mommy she was, and that you would know that she loved you so very much. Matthew, we pray that you would sense God's peace in this time and that you would know that you are loved. Mr. & Mrs. Klien, we pray that you would have peace that surpasses all understanding and that you would find your comfort in Him. We also pray for God's comfort for the rest of the family and friends who are grieving at this time. Our deepest condolences.

It's hard to understand why people are taken from us so young, but find comfort in knowing that you were a special part of a well-lived life.
