Janice was such an inspiration to all that came in contact with her. Whenever she came to work in Norfolk in the fraud department, she had a smile on her face. As she entered the department, it was as if an angel had walked in;there was a special glow about her. Janice was such a free spirit, I truely believe that she was one of God's angels. She served her purpose here on earth, now she is with the almighty to complete her next mission. To the family, God and Janice will always be with you, we all will see her again someday, her memories will keep her spirit alive. God bless you, and I will keep you in my prayers.

I am left with so many great memories of Janice. She always had a bounce in her step and a smile on her face. I know that she looks over us from her heavenly home and she will continue to stay in my thoughts. To her lovely children, it was a pleasure to meet each of you at her homegoing service and my prayers continually go out to you. I know that you will find the strength to make it through this hard time as you continue to trust and lean on The Lord.

Janice was like a Mother/Sister/Spiritual Friend I swear she was my heart, all that i had here in atlanta honestly; its a good feeling to know that you are loved.

Janice respected, accepted me and was always there whenever I had something on my chest she was always there, I miss her more than people really know.

Alot of people dont know this when I resided in Virginia when I went through hard times Janice was there for me, even though she had children of her own she found a way to provide food for me when I was in need.

I remember when I needed a Bank account as well as a car janice took me to Navy Federal established an account for me, for the first time in my life I was able to own a car, with the help of Janice I was able to purchase my first car.

Lord knows I love you, I will always miss you and thank you for being a part of my life, to her family she was the best mother anyone could have I mean that from the bottom of my heart.

Janice was trully a blessing!!!

This was a person who was outgoing, free-spirited, loved her family/friends,a person who will never be forgotten and who we all loved. As Janice would say "live life to the fullest because you never know when its you last day." Remember nothing but sweet thoughts when you think of her. My prayers and blessings goes out to all of her loved ones.

My condelences go to the family of Janice. Always remember that god only gives us only what he thinks we can bear. I know right now things may seem hard to deal with but continue to stay strong, pray for guidance, comfort and be there for each other. Remember each day Janice is watching over you (especially her children). I had the pleasure of knowing Janice as a co-worker and know she will be truly missed.

I send my condolences to the family during this time of loss. I must say that Janice was more than just a friend or co-worker to me-she was a good listener, hardworker, like a sister or even an aunt. Janice was very supportive in any way that she could be. She will be greatly missed. "Thanks to Janice for being there in my time of journey." Sincerely Roberta

Janice was my best friend. We grew up together in Ida Barbour and have been friends ever since. Janice was such a giving person; if she had it and you needed it it was yours unquestioned. She loved the Lord and lived by her faith. I am really gonna miss her. She lived life to its fullest and now has gone home to be with the Lord. I know she will watch over us and guide us when we tend to stray as all angels do. Memories of her and the fun times we shared will never fade. I will keep her family in my prayers. Her life and death have really caused me to evaluate my life thoroughly and also become one with God. I love you Janice and will miss you.
