I have so many wonderful, funny memories with Janice..
I loved her dearly We worked together for 20 plus years & remained friends up until her passing. She was the kind of bestest friend that if I only talked to her once every 6 months, it was just like I had talked to her the day before. I´m going to miss her so....knowing I can pick the phone up & call her..
RIP my sweet dear friend

I was saddened to learn of Janice´s passing. She was a good friend to my mother and whenever I had the chance to speak with her, I enjoyed our conversation. Mom told me Janice remembered that I bought a frosty from Wendy´s for her back when Mom was staying at the senior facility for her broken wrist recovery and Janice was visiting her. I am glad that the frosty must have `hit the spot´ that day for her to mention it numerous over a year later.
I hope the dog is taken care of and can adjust to being without Janice. I hope your good memories of Janice will soften your grief.
