Aunt Jan
I was blessed to have you for an aunt. Many many fond memories of the times we had together throughout my life.
I will see you again in Heaven Aunt Jan!!!
Aunt Jan,
You are so very missed, the only joy we carry is that we will be reunited with you again. It’s just a waiting, not a forever.
You touched many lives. Thank you for always being so kind and loving, not to just me but to everyone. You are a light, your life is a light that will shine on in all of us. ❤️
Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints. Psalm 116:15. NKJV.
What a happy day when you see your mom again!❤️😋
Love You! Pops and Sharen.
Went to BHS with Janice. She was always full of energy and had a beautiful smile.
Blessings for Janice’s family. So sorry to hear of her passing.
David & Denise, she was taken from us too soon. Her passing has left a giant hole in all of our lives. She’ll never be forgotten. I am so thankful for the memories I have of her trips to VA and the memories from when we were all kids. We had some road trips that will never be forgotten. 🙂
I wish I could be there in person on the 19th.
I love you guys!

Aunt Jan, I love you and am so blessed to have had you in my life. I am going to miss you. ❤️
As I think of your passing I think of these two scriptures.
John 15:13 “Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for another”
As a nurse you have sacrificed yourself in many ways. Helping complete strangers, being there for those that had no one else, and having compassion on those at the times they needed it the most.
As a mom you worked your butt off(uncountable night shifts and double shifts) to provide for your family and have always put them first.
Your life is truly an example of sacrifice.
The second is this: I Corinthians 15:54-57
“Death is swallowed up by Victory. Oh death, where is your victory? Oh death, where is your sting?…. But thanks be to God who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ!”
As I imagine where you are now I am filled with excitement and joy and so look forward to the day we will meet again. I love you.
It was my privilege to work with Janice. Her joy, happiness and dedication were ever present. I am truly blessed for having known her.
Condolences to Janice’s daughter, sons and family. May your sadness lessen as time goes by and beautiful memories of her remain in your heart. Lifting you all in prayer and trust in God to hold you close in this time of loss. Janice, my Sister in Christ who I’ve known for several years. What a good time we had together. One day we will meet again with our Heavenly Father. Love & blessings, Marilyn Jaeger
I am so very sorry for your loss of your mother. My thoughts and prayers are with your family 🙏🏼🙏🏼

Janice was a very special friend to me. We traveled the world together, she went on my dates with Barney prior to our marriage. Janice holds a special place in my heart and I will miss her. How blessed she was to have such a loving family and supportive daughter. Goodbye my special friend till we meet again.
Denise and family….I am thinking about you so much. My heart hurts for you guys.
RIP sweet lady.
