We knew Janice through The Arbors for 15 years. My Father was a resident there during her time and she was a wonderful, friendly and gracious woman. She always greeted us when visiting Dad with a great big hug and "how are you". My Dad loved her and spoke of her so often. She continues to be missed. We keep her in our memories. Heaven has received an angel. We will see her again one day.

To David and the Family of Janice: Oud deepest sympathy to all of you in the untimely passing of Janice. We had known her thru The Arbors where my Father lived for 14 years until last year. She passed on the same day as my Dad, Wilbur Rowe a year ago. She was such a wonderful, warm friendly woman that we got to know well thru the years. How very much she will be missed. Our hearts and love go out to all of you at this sad and difficult time. She will be remembered with much love and many thoughts. God bless her soul and to all of you.

Janice was a class act. Beautiful inside and out. She took care of every need we had for our Mother Elizabeth Boyd Parsons. Her smile and laugh were infectious and comforted many people at the Arbors as they faced any challenge. I will miss her, but I know she is sitting in heaven having a conversation with our Nana.. Rest In Peace my friend.. till we meet again.

Janice was not only my close friend but my co-worker for 16 years. We shared so much fun at work and away from work. It is hard going back not seeing her there. My thoughts and prayers are with her entire family and friends who loved her as much as I did.

Everyone who was blessed enough to have known and loved Janice feels the pain of her loss. She was that special. She loved her family and friends. She loved being David´s wife and Ryan´s Mom but she loved being Jaxon´s Meme most of all. She was loved and she will be remembered. She fought hard to stay with us but God needed another Angel to watch over us. Prayers for all who loved her.
