God did not make very many like Janice was, when it came to the values that she had for her family, church and community... She was an amazing trooper .. loved her grand kids the same as her own kids, and would rarely miss any of their extra-curricular activities , no matter where or what time they started. She truly loved the life she was given, and because of her strong faith , there is no secret that she is securely placed in heaven, w her Heavenly Father... but, she will be missed by many here on earth ...
