My mom, Kathy Mccaughan, just shared the Christmas card that Don sent about Janice's passing. Mom was so sad but we shared wonderful memories of your parents, gatherings and happy times. We all send our prayers during this holiday time and the coming year. Your mother was truly an angel on earth.

Our mom was the greatest mom anyone could ask for. How blessed we are to have had her as part of our lives. She was witty, funny, sweet, loving, beautiful and just an all around wonderful person. She remained strong all the way to the end. You will be missed forever. I love you mom

Who could ever forget how sweet, humble and one of the most beautiful young woman in school and her happy smile at all times. So graceful and a Godly woman to the end. Rest in peace my friend until we meet in Eternity. A wonderful wife, mother, grandmother and friend who left a beautiful legacy for her loving family.

I went to BGHS with Don and Janice. We got back in touch through Facebook and WWF which we played daily sometimes 2 or 3 times. Janice was the sweetest most gracious lady you would ever know. I miss her so much. Her chats through WWF. Janice loved her family, and was always giving me words of encouragement even though she didn't feel good herself. My love to Don and the family.

Janice was my best friend. We kept in touch daily and she added so much to my life. She fought a hard battle against cancer. I am going to miss her so much.
