Janice will be sorely missed by her family and many friends and was surly welcomed at her arrival in Heaven.
There are no words for how much I will miss you, Jan. You were the best. I am beyond sad. But you will be with your mom and dad and sister. You were a wonderful person and so much fun. My prayers are with Al at this time, as well.
Jan was one of the finest examples of human being that I have ever had the pleasure to have in my life. Her caring was without bounds for her large group of friends and family. My life will be forever better for having her touch it. I will miss her tremendously until we are able to meet again at the foot of God’s Throne.
Jan’s beautiful smile, laugh and sense of humor will be greatly missed . Prayers go to Al and family for comfort in this difficult time.
