It is always difficult to lose a long time friend. I are up with Janice in Magnolia. There are many wonderful and some funny memories of Janice. what nattered the most was that she was such a kind person, caring person, and sincere. She was lovely on the outside and even more beautiful on the inside. She touched many people that I am sure she wasn't even aware of. May she Rest In Peace and know she will always be missed.
