Shawn, David, Lisa and family, I truly loved Janice. We worked together and became very close friends. She was always smiling and so much fun to be with. I remember when she met Shawn and how happy she was. I was so happy for them & delighted to be part of their big day. When David and Lisa came along what a blessing for you both. I will never forget how happy she was, her life was complete. I will always remember her and love her.
