We just wanted you to know our thoughts and prayers go out to you. I know Jan struggled a lot over the years. Now she is free from all of the bad and will be forever healed in eternity. Hugs to you all.

I am so sad. Janice, I still feel like I
am talking to you. We played together as children and gradually
grew apart through adolescence and life...
Your sweetness, your smile, your love of life will always be a part of
my soul.
This last week I thought of you even
more than usual as I drove on Park Avenue several times. I did not turn to visit. I just felt that kindred spirit so strongly from so long ago.
We were children together. What a blessing for me.

We are in Florida for the winter and saw Jan's obituary in the paper.
