Jan,
May you rest in God's peace. I am so glad to have met you at the Lutheran Church Home where we both took so good care of both of our mothers' in their final days. To you such a long time caregiver of so many in your family, now God is fully caring for you. Rest and I will have a cup of tea, a Costanzo's roll with butter and taste of the smoothest cheese cake to celebrate you life. Remembering our Fish Fry Fridays and our holiday meals with our Mom's. May we meet on the other side one day.
My deepest sympathy to your daughter, grandchildren and brother. Jan was a wonderful person who always wanted the best for her family/loved ones.
The world is a bit more empty without her here.

A friend, Cheryl

Janice Watson's Celebration of Her Life Service paid homage to her life as a loving, devoted, dedicated, hard working aide at Maple East Elementary. She was an outstanding support for the ESL (English Second Language) children. Her quiet and caring manner helped them adjust to our language. Our thoughts and prayers are with her wonderful caregiving daughter and family. Karen, you have been such a wonderful caregiver to your mother. Janice loved her grandchildren and was warmed by the beautiful quilt that adorned her bed. Lovingly, Anne and Sheldon Merritt

As a representative of the Williamsville Retired Teachers I want to extend the sympathy of our group to Janice's family. I understand that Janice was an aide at Maple East Elementary School. While I did not personally knew her I do know the value that aides bring to the school. I am certain that she did a job that was very much appreciated by the staff at Maple East and I know she will be missed by all,expecially her family.
