Janice was one of the kindest and sweetest women I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. May we all strive to be a little more like her in our lives. She had a great love for The Lord, her children, her pets and family. She was a very learned woman who shared so much with all those whose paths she crossed. She was a great example of the Savior and his teachings and shared her knowledge and love for him with so many. Thank you Janice for being who you were. A very special Daughter of God. Love you eternally.
