“Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.” John 14:1-3

Larry and Family, we are sorry for your loss. Janice was always so loving and friendly, sharing her beautiful smile with us. It was so special to reconnect with y’all when we moved back to Gsinesville in 1972, right down the street from you. May God’s loving comfort be special to you during this difficult time. Cherish your wonderful memories. We love you.

I am so very sad to hear of Janice’s passing. She was a sweet lady and friend. I loved her smile and her laugh. She was always happy and positive. She was a ray of sunlight in the life of everyone who knew her. RIP Janice...I will miss our lady’s’ lunch group get-togethers and regret we were not able to get together in the last year. Larry, my heart and prayers go out to you and your family. I pray for your peace and comfort during the days ahead when you feel sorrow and loneliness without the love of your life by your side. She will always be a breath away in your heart and in the memories of your beautiful life together.
