With deep sorrow and sadness the announce the sudden passing of our baby girl, on April 12, 2026 at the age of 4 months old.
Baby Janelle was born at the Women’s Hospital in Winnipeg on December 6, 2025. She was only 3 pounds, as she was born prematurely. She had nice big eyes and a beautiful smile. We loved her so much, and we already miss her terribly. God had another plan for her and didn’t want her to suffer, so he took her to be with Him. We will never forget her.
Baby Janelle leaves to mourn, her parents, Jessica Sanderson and Hunter Moneas; twin siblings, James and Jamie girl; grandparents, Julie & Ken Sanderson and Chantelle Moneas (Randy); great grandmother, Arlene Moneas; aunts and uncles, Ken Sanderson Jr., Korinna Sanderson, Jacob Sanderson, Alexander (Ainsley) Sanderson, Henry (Shyanne) Sanderson, Glen Sanderson and Steven Sanderson; O’Neill, Harlan, Hailey, Heavenly, Hillary, Oden and Orion Moneas; as well as numerous cousins, great aunts and uncles and other relatives.
Baby Janelle was predeceased by her grandfather, Leslie Moneas; aunt, Kelly Sanderson; cousin, Ken Sanderson; great uncle, Lester Turner; her great grandparents, Marjorie and Wilfred Turner; as well as numerous others.
Thank you to our family and friends for all the love and support you’ve given us; and to the community members of Grand Rapids; to Janelle’s aunties and uncles, who loved her so much; we will all miss her.

Little Angels
When God calls little children to dwell with Him above,
We mortals sometimes question the wisdom of His love.
For no heartache compares with the death of one small child,
Who does so much to make our world seem wonderful and mild.
Perhaps God tires of calling the aged to His fold,
So He picks a rose bud before it can grow old.
God knows how much we need them, and so He takes but few,
To make the land of heaven more beautiful to view.
Believing this is difficult still somehow we must try,
The saddest word mankind knows will always be “Goodbye”.
So when a little child departs, we who are left behind,
Must realize God loves children, Angels are hard to find.
