To Janice
Janice was my sister in law. She was more like a sister than an in law. When I married her brother, she was always there to share in our ups and downs, our children, our wee goats and, of course, Tucker.
Ron and I and our children (Scott and Andrea) were witnesses when they were married in Vancouver, Washington. Prior to their marriage, Janice would come to visit us often, sometimes with her parents, sometimes alone. The Native Americans look to the Aunt as an additional mother. Janice seemed to follow in that thinking with both Scott and Andrea. It always made me smile!
I would feel a little sorry for Ron at times, as he had to put up with a sister and a wife who were both Elementary Teachers. And…once a teacher, always a teacher.
Janice was one of those special people in life that could always make you smile or laugh out loud. We, as a family, will miss her presence in our lives, but will hold her dearly in all our hearts.
Our sympathies to John.
Many funny and fond memories of Janice. Loved her as a sister. I am so sad to lose her. She was such a talented and special lady and we were so lucky to have her in our lives. Hugs, love, and sympathy to my brother John and everyone who knew her.
Love, Carrie Lou

My sweet Janice…I’ve cherished our friendship since junior high. You, Carole, and I had the best and silliest of times. I will miss your sweetness and laughter.
Miss you Connie Gibbens
Janice was an amazing woman. She was a great Teacher and taught two of my children. She had a heart that was so loving and generous and took care of friends whenever she was needed. I enjoyed her contagious laugh and beautiful smile. “Death leaves a heartache no can heal…Love leaves a memory no one can steal.” John we all know how much you loved Janice and she will always be in your heart.
