I only recently became acquainted with Janice and was so looking forward to getting to know her better and become fast friends since we share Knox as
our first grandchild. I'm thankful that she was able to be here for his birth and I know she will be watching over him. What I did know instantly about Janice was that she loved her children very much and that she loved my son, Eric. My heart is broken for the boys and Amanda, but we will keep her in our hearts forever.

Janice I have so many amazing memories the time we spent together. One of my Special Memories was when I would come spend night with you and watching with Ross. You were so amazing and caring with Ross. All these years I think about that moment watching you. You taught me a lot Janice. You taught me to be strong and stand up for myself so many times. Thank you Janice for being you. You will always have a special place in my Heart. Love you always your step sister Stacey xoxo
