Janice was the definition of "Lighting up the room". She had the ability to connect to everyone she met, make them laugh, and make them love her forever. Her clients became her friends, and were devoted to her for decades. She was a gift to anyone who knew her, and especially work with her. I will miss her every day.She was my "work" best friend.

How could you not love Janice? I met her in 1990 and was a client but also considered her a friend. I would always get a kick out of her whenever we were together or on the phone. She was a very kind, courageous and special women, so proud of her grandchildren and great-grands. I'm going to miss her so much but feel so fortunate to have had her in my life. My thoughts and prayers go out to her family and closet friends. God bless.
Just a wonderful day with the girls.

I was one of Janice's many clients. She always went above and beyond and was such a wonderful person to work with. She always spoke fondly of her family. My condolences to all of her family. She was one of a kind and will be missed by everyone who knew her. Gone too soon.

Janice was so smart, funny, pretty (a true fashionista before that term existed), and ultimately, so courageous as she fought this terrible illness. We worked together for a very long time and had many successful partnerships and some great laughs and adventures along the way. She loved her family dearly and was so very proud of them..."may the road rise up to meet you" dear friend. May God Bless.

Janice was one of those friends that you will never forget. A song in her heart and a smile on her face.
I only had the pleasure of knowing her for a few short years , yet I felt as though I knew her forever. My thoughts and prayers go out to her family.
She will be sadly missed.

She was one if the most generous woman I knew. I never bought a book when I worked with her for many years. She was an avid reader and loved to share. When I retired she suggested a Kindle as a going away gift, she wanted me to keep up my reading. Wonderful. I truly enjoyed working with her.
