I remember the time you came over to Uncle Jims house when we first met. I believe I was in 1st grade, you brought candy and we all played a board game and stayed up late. Shortly after you moved in, you helped us with our homework and we took trips to the ocean and clay lock, times I will never forget. You will always be Aunt Janice! Love your Nephew Michael

I was so happy to see her entries in fb as I had not seen her in over 40 yrs. We attended the same high school for a time. She was a great person. It was guided that we interacted again. My deepest sympathies go to her family.

Janice I am so glad we were reacquainted recently at work. I am so so mad at myself for not talking to you on Friday. I looked at you and you were busy working, so I stopped but I so wanted to say, Hi! I miss you and am so sorry for any pain you may have had to suffer. To her beautiful daughter and grand babies, she talked of you often. She will be watching over you!

Janice was one of the best friends I have ever had....over 40 years. Even though we were not always in touch we always picked up right where we left off. Janice was one of the most thoughtful, kind and caring friend, mother and grandmother I have ever known. I will miss your beautiful smile. You will always be in my heart. Love you my friend.

May God and you Janice guide Laura, Peyton, William, Kobe and ALL your loved ones through their hardest pains in your passing. I know you surround them still. I pray you are happy and at peace with no pain as I know you must be. What amazement it must be to not just initiate prayer circles for many-as you did-but to be a guardian angel who might turn prayers into blessings now :) You stood out as a such a loving mom to even the motherless! May your memories tied us over-esp rememberance of your distinct laugh-until we meet again. Lighthouses 'round the world will shine a little brighter and we know why...
