I feel very fortunate to have had Janice as my friend. We started as sweet little children beginning school with our whole future befor us and continued for some 70 years. It was that one rare and very special friendship which I appreciated and treasured. She was my special friend.
Your battle is over my friend. I now see you smiling in the arms of your Jim dancing to the strains of "Moonglow". Dance on. Dance On.

Janice was my very first childhood friend from 7 years old on; from lst to 12th grade and many years after that. It's hard to realize that after 70 years passed, she is no longer with us. We had wonderful years together and we were inseparable growing up on the same block. She was a great friend and fantastic mother and will always be remembered. My sympathy and prayers go to her family. I am very sad to know she's gone but happy that she is no longer suffering.

Janice was a wonderful woman who I visited and took communion as well as annointed her in the last few weeks. Her faith in God never waivered. May He hold her gently in his arms.
