Janice was a dear long time friend, we worshipped the Lord together, prayed together, went on adventure trips together, and we laughed and cried and encouraged each other when things were hard. She was loyal and loved her family and friends. She was generous with her time and faithful with her friendship. She was funny and well spoken, articulate and a great communicator! She was looking for her forever home and she knew Jesus was her forever person,Savior, and that His love was better than anything here. She had peace with her diagnosis and kept saying she didn't feel like she was dying... well she is not dead but more alive than ever in the arms of Christ. Such a comfort to know she was headed to Jesus! Love to u Janice, prayers for your family and for all of us who will miss you so much!!! See you again dear sister see you again!!!
