Sorry to learn of Janice's paasing. She and I met in the 7th grade and went on to WestSide together. I recall her as a very nice person and quieter than most in out group (smile). She is with our heavenly father now and from reading her obituary, she has did what he wanted her to do. God-bless all of you and stay strong.

Your family is in our hearts and prayers that the Father will bring you peace and comfort in this season. While there is a void on this earth where Janice once stood, there is now a reception in Heaven welcoming her in to her eternal home. Her father is saying to Janice "well done good and faithful servant". We praise God for her life and how she ministered the love of Christ to all. We pray the Lord Jesus to richly bless you and to bring you that joy in the morning (weeping only endures for a night).
