I am sorry to hear of Janice's death. I knew Janice in Corbin, Kentucky many years ago. She and I graduated from Corbin High School. Janice was a good friend and neighbor. We sometimes would walk home from school together and laugh about the things high schoolers laughed about in the 60's . She was also a trustworthy and kind friend who truly cared about others. My father and mother were both ill during those years and she was someone who would listen and provide comfort.

My sincere condolences to her family.

Saddened to learn of Janice's passing. Thinking of Joe and the family and sending prayers. Janice was an incredible friend to my mom during her life and a big help in many ways to my family over the years. We are very grateful for all she did for my mom and dad and are sure they are all reunited now.

Janice was one of the most generous, loving, and caring people I have ever had the privilege to know! Her friendship was undeniably a precious gift!
Regretfully I have not seen or talked to her for a couple of years. I will deeply miss her as she made an amazing difference in my life!
"A strong friendship doesn't need daily conversation, doesn't always need togetherness, as long as the relationship remains in the heart, true friends will never part...."
It is comforting to know she is resting peacefully at home with our LORD
Love and miss you

I was saddened to learn of Janice's passing. We were high school friends and stayed in contact for many years and sometimes got together in Lexington when I was in town. She was a friend to all and loved by many. She will be deeply missed. Joe, you have my heartfelt sympathy.

Sincerely,

I worked with Janice for a short time 25 years ago. She was a sweet and compassionate lady, one I could never forget. Heaven has gained another angel.
