Love you mom.
What a fight you had in you but you finally made it to the other side of the moon!
I was fortunate to have been a part of Janice’s life for the past 1.5 years and I will treasure all the memories she left me with. I always enjoyed hearing the stories of her childhood, and where she came from. I even enjoyed the 9:00pm phone call to help her come find her glasses, only to discover they were on her head when I got there. I will miss her delicate voice, her sharp wit, her kind words, her hugs, her independence and the way her face lit up when I walked up the stairs. I always called her ‘pretty lady’ and that’s how I’ll always remember her. I loved her like my own mom and as sad as I am to know she’s gone, I’m happy for her to be reunited with Melody, Ricky and Dale. Rest in peace pretty lady. I love you and miss you
Loved her laughter and joy when everyone was together. Included me in the family as soon as I got to know Kim and Melody when they first moved to Redmond
Happy you are no longer in pain and you are at peace. As Kim said, you fought to the end and are now with so many loved ones.
Rest in peace Aunt Janice. I will always remember your smile and warm hugs.
