Dear Gilbert, Aftia and Melanie:

All of you are like family to me and Janice was like a sister. Her redeeming qualities are her sweetness in spirit, kindness in heart, and ladylike manner. She was always a loving, compassionate woman of faith who exemplified what it truly means to be a woman of God. I was also privileged to have known her. Thanks for sharing her with all of us, these too short years. She is at peace with our Lord.

Just learned of Janice's much too early passing. I worked with her at Hutchison and enjoyed her sunny disposition and pleasant way. The children who had her as a teacher were very fortunate.
My deepest sympathy and wish for the family to keep to heart the good memories.

I admired her calm demeanor, her sense of humor, her ready smile and her deep faith. Janice's students were better for having known her.

To Janice's family,

I worked in the front office at Hutchison Elementary when Janice was a third grade teacher there. I remember her as a very kind and loving person - not only toward me, but toward everyone she interacted with.
The world is a sadder place for not having her in it. I am so sorry for your loss.
