I met Janice at an MS meeting twenty six years ago. I admired her dedication to the local MS support group. She was always ready to help anyone who needed some encouragement. I thank her for that. I send my sympathy to the family.

Janice & I were grade school friends at Gering Valley School but lost touch after I moved to SB in Middle School. We had many fun slumber parties in Grandma Moore´s big lovely house. Many fond memories. Please accept my condolences on your loss. She was an active lady that many will miss.
