My prayers go out for the extended Yorgey family. I have memories with Lisa and Mel specifically but I remember Mom too as a very loving person. May your hearts be comforted by the many memories and reminders of Mom you will have with you always in your hearts. Peace.

Our deepest sympathy for the loss of a wonderful woman. I always enjoyed Janice’s sense of humor and our discussions during Adult Sunday School at UCC Greenawalds. She will always be remembered fondly.

To all of our family and friends: Janice was a person everybody loved. She taught us through her example how to be loving and nurturing parents, aunts, uncles, and grandparents ourselves. She taught us the meaning of unconditional love. She was an angel here on earth, and now she is an angel in heaven. She will remain in our hearts forever. Rest in Peace.
