My friendship with Janice goes back to Central High School days. Even though I moved away we had kept in touch. Had just received an e-mail from her before the news. Through her emails and facebook her love and giving spirit for her family was always present. I had looked forward so much to seeing her at our next reunion....and mourn with you on this sudden passing. May God grant His special comfort and you gather to remember all the good days spent together.

I wish my cousins and their families peace to bring them comfort, and courage to face the days ahead. Sent with prayers, sympathy, and much love,

I was saddened to hear that Janice passed away. I first met her when Lori & I were in Jr. High & became friends. She never said much, but the love between her & her children was so obvious. She always had a twinkle in her eyes, a smile on her face, & you could tell, she had a wonderful, quiet, sense of humor.
My deepest sympathy to all who love & miss her.

Jacki Angstadt, loved you and will miss you greatly.
