I’m so sorry to learn of Janice’s passing. I have such good memories of time spent with her, Mike, and John when we were growing up and my family visited hers. Uncle Johnny and Aunt Pauline were so loved by us all and that loved transferred to my cousins. Going to Sheridan to see them was always so much fun and we treasured those times.
I pray that God will surround you with His love and peace during the days to come and that you will find comfort in your memories of Janice. May He bless you all.

My memories of Janice are so fond: from childhood, when she would always open the door with a smile and pack us full of Avon goodies, enjoying Chinese buffet together and a more recent visit where she was excited about her musical knickknack. We watched and listened several times back to back. I know she loved her Beatles, her daughter Jacinda and the grandkids deeply. I am so thankful for all the work and love she put into youth on a mission to change their trajectory. She will be missed but always remembered lovingly by all. Sister, Jacinda, and all others feeling this deep loss, may God be your strength and comfort today and in the future. May your fond memories of Janice keep your heart warm and face smiling even amidst the tough days.
