I have been missing my good friend for a few years now, and I will miss her as long as I live. She was a beautiful, gracious, gentle, and loving person with whom I spent many childhood days. May God be gracious to her family.

I have many good memories of Janice and the beautiful, fun person she was. It seems impossible that she has gone to her new home. May the beautiful memories that each of you have always stay in a special place in your heart, for she was so proud of you and loved you so much...May prayers and sympathy are with you...Elizabeth Camp Anthony

Jeanna, James and Jerry and families, I am so sorry to hear of your Mom's homegoing. She loved you all so very much. And you will all be in my prayers during the coming months, as you travel through this time of grief. I ask God's richest blessings of peace and comfort to you at this time.
Janice was a beautiful person with a beautiful heart and a beautiful voice. I miss singing with her at MHBC. We did have some good times.
She will forever be in our hearts.
