my dear friend, Janelle. You started out as my therapist but very quickly became a confidant, someone I could talk to anything about without fear of anything. You gave me a safe space that I looked forward to coming to. I promised I would stay in touch after you closed your practice and as I heard that you had passed, I couldn’t help but feel it was another life lost to soon to the world.
Polly, your mum was so very proud of you. We met once in one of my last sessions with your mum. I always asked how you were doing, and your mum loved to tell me how things were going for you, even though it was a therapy session. You were your mum’s sparkle, and your individuality was something she was so proud of.
Janelle’s Family, I’m so sorry for the loss you are feeling. If there is anything occurring for Polly, such as donations or anything, I would like to be involved. Janelle encouraged me to follow my artistic side and I am now a glitter technician speacialising in glitter tattoos, with a friend who is a face painter. I would love to give Polly the feeling of excitement again when she is up to it. Janelle meant a lot to me and I want to give back in honour of her and help Polly.
Heather Jennings April 15, 2024 Such shock & sadness to hear of the passing of Janelle.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this very sad time. Rest in peace.
From Jo,Scott,Paddy&Stella McKenzie.

Denise Borton December 15, 2023 Janelles family, so sorry for your loss. I had the pleasure of working with Janelle at Sussan many years ago, we had lots of fun. Gone too soon
Caroline mckew December 15, 2023 Janelle, it doesn’t seem real that we are no longer writing long messages or sending voice notes as we support each other through the ups and downs of motherhood and life.
I have treasured memories of our time growing up together surrounded by our extended family – sticking together always,playing the Atari,doing talent shows and teasing Uncle Matt relentlessly.
You were so insightful; so incredibly smart. I would feel like I was mincing my words in reply to your incredibly eloquent insights into life, motherhood, relationships and family.
You made me laugh,you were a massive dag in the best way, you were always, always thinking of others and you didn’t hesitate to tell me that you loved me and appreciated our chats. Thank you for your candour and humour.
Sending all of my love to Katrina,Ben,Olivia,Tori, Elise, Eli and Alex.
To Polly. You were the light of Janelle’s life and she worked so hard to be the best Mum she could for you.
Reunited with Uncle Justin and causing absolute havoc I’m sure.
Beware the curtains.
Janelle, I love you. I will always miss you. I will never understand how the brightest stars don’t burn long enough.
Rest peacefully Nelly.

I will miss our late night chats talking 🐯 and shit. U were so clever and funny.A beautiful lady.
RIP with bubble in the big sky.
Uncle Pat and family
Pat Bushell December 12, 2023 I will never forget the kindness and concern you showed for Anne in her final days, even though she couldn’t talk at the time, she appreciated that call and so did I in the moment. It was a small thing but it summed up your character to me of always caring for others and always interested first in other people. You will be missed by everyone. Rest in peace.
