Having moved I haven't been to my CVS in a couple of months. Today I asked where Miss Janice was and was told of her untimely passing. Thank you for sharing her with us...she was always 100% honest to everyone whether they wanted to hear it on not! I'll miss her greatly, the store won't be the same without her.

First, please allow me to offer you and your entire family my deepest sympathy in your loss. It is my prayer that the God of all comfort will be with you as you deal with your pain.

Second, please respond and let me know if this is the Janice Dorsey that was part of the 1965 grauating class of Booker T. Washington High School in New Orleans. I was out of town and only recently had an opportunity to view this obituary or I would have attended the services.

Again, you have my deepest sympathy.

Chris, I just found out today about your Mother's passing. I asked about you every time I went to CVS. I am so sorry; you are in my thoughts and prayers. "Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning."Psalm 30 Know that she is at rest in our Father's hand. All my love.
