As you all may know, our dear friend Kimberley Janssen’s dad (Papa Reg to Dakota and Bella) sadly passed away unexpectedly from a sudden heart attack on Saturday while doing what he loved, playing golf.

 

We extend our sincere love and condolences to Di, Kimberley, Bella and Dakota, along with Kimberley's eldest sister, Brittany and her three daughters, Cassidy, Paige and Summer. We are so sorry for your immense loss, and we pray that you will be truly comforted at this time.

 

Reg was a beautiful and generous man and an avid supporter of his girls and their many performance pursuits. He was always there to cheer them on at their dance competitions, musicals and performances. A constant source of encouragement and support in the Performing Arts Community, Reg was always there with a word of encouragement for all young cherubs after shows and productions over many years. His beautiful, gentle presence and smile around NAPA and the many dance and performance community events will be sorely missed.

 

In order to manage the current rising housing rental prices, Reg and Di (NAPA Nan) had only this week moved with Kimberley, Dakota and Bella to a new home together to pool their resources and do their best to afford the impact of the current rental climate. Along with Reg’s sudden and unexpected loss and the grief they are all currently experiencing, all while still settling into their new home, there is also the financial uncertainty they are now again navigating with a loss of income and additional funeral expenses.

 

If you would like to contribute to helping the Janssen family through this season, we have started this GoFundMe page to show our love and support for our beloved Janssen family. We know that they would be truly humbled and overwhelmed by donations of any amount.
