Janice will be greatly missed by our family. We hold, dear-to-our-hearts, many fun and wonderful memories with her and Tiffany. Anyone that knew Janice was LUCKY. Not only lucky to know her, lucky to have her as a friend, lucky to feel her passion for life, and most of all, lucky to experience the joy, love, and pride she held for her daughter. Although, distance kept us out-of-touch, one can only imagine the same feelings her son-in-law and granddaughter brought her, as well.
Sending our deepest condolences, from the Mergaert Family, to Tiffany, her family, friends, and all who were LUCKY enough to know Janice.
Sincerely,
March 26, 2015
Tiffany my heartfelt condolences to you and your family.
