Lady Janette Inglewood
1962 - 2017
I must admit I have struggled for days trying to find the right way to blog on the passing of Mistress Janette. I wanted to use the proper words, the right pictures and ensure I honoured her as she so deserved. Hours upon hours have been spent pouring over the hundreds of messages and pictures I have been given by the SL Gorean community.
Originally I was going to write and share pictures of her funeral service held this past Thursday, December 14, 2017. However, after reflecting on Mistress and the many talks we had, I truly feel in my heart she would not desire me to do so. I know many will want to see the written and visual records of the service, and because of that we placed a final record at her memorial within the urn at Port Olni Memorial Gardens.
There are so many to thank over this past week for their support, love and encouragement to not only Krista our First Girl of Campus but to all of us at Campus who volunteered and gave time to carry Mistress's vision.
We must recognize Blessed One Rafayil for his coordination of services, support and guidance during this difficult time.

A special thank you to Master Ashur Solomon for the time and support he gave Campus and provided the main record of services. To the Ubar & Ubara at the Port of Olni for the beautiful memorial held at Mistress's Home Stone.
To our Senior Staff, faculty, staff and KF student body for your love, time and words of affirmation. The words of family, unity and togetherness was the theme that echoed about Campus.
Speaking of unity, I would be remiss if I did not recognize the SL Gorean community. Hundreds upon hundreds have sent their support in messages to Krista, myself and staff. The Gorean community clearly showed their respect and admiration for Mistress Janette.
