Janice R. Lawrence

My original message was added quite some time after Jan's passing so many of you may not have seen it. I do want all to know how sorry I was to have learned of her death.

Jan and I we're friends since we were children and we continued being friends and graduated together from Horace Mann High School she had been a good friend although I haven't seen her for several years but I would think of her often. we had a class reunion which I could not go to but she sent me a lot of papers and pictures from it. i know she will rest in peace and have a lot of friends in heaven.

Dear Lawrence family, my sympathy and prayers for Jan and family. Always a happy, friendly spirit to all she met.

I am so very sorry, I will miss Jan very much as I know my husband Murphy will also, she was one of a kind.

My deepest sympathy to Jan's family,,,We've known one another since our early career in Gary Mercy hosp when she was working in the cafeteria and I was a nurse's aide......She was always a joy to run into...... Shirley Makivich Urbanek........

Our sympathies and prayers to Jan's family

Jan made going to the doctor a fun day. She loved to laugh. And when she laughed everyone laughed with her. Will miss that smiling face!!! RIP!!!

Sure going to miss Poo. So a kind lady and good friend. Prayers for peace.
