So sad to hear of Janice’s passing. She & Martin introduced Cecil & me. Cecil died several months ago. I was his caregiver awhile so am having to find my way! May you remember the love & happy times & find comfort in these memories!

Janice was a dear friend, especially when we were in Woodruff Elementary School, and we lived near one another in Little Rock. She will be well remembered by those of us who benefitted from her kindness and service to our high school class. Sympathy to her family. Love, Mary Lee
