Janice has received her reward for a life committed to Christ, but she will be missed here on earth. It's been many years since I had seen her, but she had a significant impact on me as a teenager at Countryside Christian Center years ago. She dedicated her time and heart to our youth group as she shared her passion for following Christ and taught us about the reality of spiritual warfare. That teaching opened my eyes and had a real impact on my life. As she stands before the throne, her eyes will be open to the lives she truly touched. I'm thankful for her faithfulness and how it touched so many of us.

Whenever we went on the mission field, we knew we had a mighty prayer warrior on our side. Our prayer is that now she is seeing and knowing the outcome of those powerful prayers. What a treasure she has been and always will be!
Our prayers for comfort to her family and the family of TLC!

There is only one thing to say about Pastor Janice. If you knew her, you knew the Father and the Love that He has for all people because He gave His Son to die on the cross for our sins that the gap would be closed between us and God. PJ demonstrated this Love in everything she did.

I was priviledged to hear Janice at the Ladies Dinner at Countryside Christian Center just this year. She truly blessed us with her words.

Jesus is wrapping her up in His arms this very minute saying, "Well done, my good and faithful servant".

My prayers are with the family.

Pastor Janice,
Was a powerful example of never giving up or giving in when the bottom seems to have fallen out. I learned to press on till you had the VICTORY. Thanks PJ for being a strong prayer warrior and for rising up a strong prayer army for the Lord.

Pastor Janice was an incredible woman of God. We were so truly blessed to have had her in our lives for the last 8 years. She was a beautiful testiment to God's grace and love. She will be truly missed, but we are celebrating her life and her entrance to heaven. What a treat that must be for her and for Christ. She was so special to our family and our children.

PJ - we love you, we'll miss you, thank you for being an incredible friend, mother and teacher.
