Janice was a dear friend and I loved her dearly. We graduated from high school in same class at Stephens County High, in 1959. After graduation, we enrolled in Perry Business School, and again graduated together.

I have many fond memories of times spent with our group of friends at SCHS, and Janice holds a special place in my heart.

May our Heavenly Father be ever so close to all of you in Janice's family, as you go thru these sad days of missing her.

Sincerely,

Ann and James Hayes
