This photo is of Janice at VBS (2019). She was in her glory while sharing her faith with youth. She was such a great teacher. I have been exceptionally fortunate to have had her for a best friend. No words can say how much she (and her smile) will be missed. All our thoughts and prayers are with the rest of the family. Just know that she is happy with her Lord now!

Janice was a wonderful person, whom I'm happy to have known. I always enjoyed our conversations whenever I was able to get home on leave and drop in for a visit. I knew she was a good person by the way her children turned out and by their closeness with each other. Rest in peace, fair lady!! Our condolences to the family. Ed and Rose.
