Alex and Dennis,
I was so sad to hear about Janice's passing. As you know, Janice and I met when our girls were in dance together with FVS. I have some wonderful memories from those years and especially from our trip in August of 2008 to the cottage in White Pine, MI. We loved touring the copper mine, eating at Konteka, watching the gorgeous sun sets behind the hotel... I have wonderful memories and photos from those years! I will continue to lift your family in prayer as you go through this difficult time. A special note to Alex... Your Mother adored you as you already know.... you were her bright light, Alex. If there is EVER anything I can do for you now or in the future, please let me know. Blessings to you. ~Lisa Parrett and Family~

The longer we live, the more we learn - yet all our experience doesn't really seem to help when it comes to the loss of someone we care about. Let the days ahead bring peace to you, Dennis, and to Alex. Lean on each other through the rough times. Love each other always. Blessings to you both and all of Janice's family.

Dennis
Ask me not the reason why life is so unfair...
I do not have the answer, but nonetheless, I care..

Do not ask me to explain why life has to be so tough...
I wouldn't know what to say, as words are never enough...

Yet, this I can tell you truly, in God there's strength for life....
He shall take good care of you & everything will be alright...

Will remember you in thoughts & prayers. Plus,you will have that Angel watching over you and Alex.

With deepest sympathy.
