So sorry to see this sad news about Janice. She was a good friend to my mom Lila Landers. I was also saddened to see that Duane had also passed away. He was married to my cousin Jackie.

Very sorry for the loss of your Mom. She was a wonderful friend. We had many wonderful times together, both at work and at play. We had many great belly laughs.
I will miss her and her friendship.
