So sorry for your loss. Even after all these years I remember her smile, her support for all around her and willingness to pitch in! She will be sorely missed but memories will bring comfort and a smile to all.
Very sorry to hear Janice has left us. Earth’s loss is heaven’s gain.
Wishing you peace, and may God bless you.

We wish to extend our sincere sympathy. Although we lived in Kindred only a short time, we have good memories of Milt and Janice. Janice had the most inclusive smile and she gave it freely both to adults and to children. Such a kind, upbeat person –a special lady! May memories bring your family comfort and peace..
