Ralph: When it was announced in the Valley View 6th Ward this morning that Janice had passed away, all I could remember was your smiling face and handshake as you, as our bishop, welcomed us to the ward 34 years ago. How blessed we were also to have been associated with Janice and you during the years you worked with us at Smith Administrators. We are out of town and cannot be there to hug you in person but our love goes out to you and your family. God bless you all.
