Jan, My heart is broken. We had our ups and downs and back and forths, but always ended up laughing together. And understood each other. I will miss our 8 am phone calls, and late night talks. You will always be in my heart. Prayers for your family.

My family and I have known Janice for many years through Brian. Many times she would send cookies to the fish market with Brian for us. Every Halloween they would bring the kids by my parent's house for a quick visit even though it was well out of the way. That's how we will remember them both, as being kind, generous, loving people. May you all find peace, comfort and strength in the wonderful memories you have of Janice.

Janice, I had lost touch with you and the family over a great many years but you and everyone were still in my thoughts. I just began reconnecting with old friends via Facebook and spoke with Tom last summer. I saw that you were liking my Facebook posts. This is very hard to take. I pray for you, your husband, and your Mom in heaven...and Tom, Christine, Dad, June, and your children. God bless!
