I always enjoyed visiting with Janice at church. Many times she would give me newspaper clippings of articles our daughters were featured in. The last time I visited with her was in the grocery store. She seemed to be getting along better and we parted saying we would see each other at church. I will miss the conversation and smiles she brought with her every time we visited. God bless her family as they go through this difficult time.

Our sympathy to all the family Janice was always so much fun to talk to. After Richard died Janice came to our class reunions. The class of l952 always enjoyed having her with us. God bless Janice.
Dear Emily, Peter and Steve,
My memory of Janice goes back a long way to your mother’s home off of West Chester Pike in Delaware County. This was before Janice was married. I remember visiting with her and your mother. They will be having a happy reunion now. Janice was blessed to have such a wonderful sister as Emily and two wonderful brothers and a happy life with her husband. May God Bless all of you!
Love,

My deepest sympathies to each of you for your loss
of Janice. She was a friend and always had time to
visit and catchup with everyone.
Our thoughts and hearts are with you. The pictures of Jan and your family brought back so many memories of the years we spent together and the times I spent at your house with your family. Jan is at peace and she was surrounded by love.

A beautiful lady, a beautiful soul, now pain free in eternal peace. Janice’s gain is truly her family’s loss. Our prayers are that all of Janice’s siblings, especially her loving sister Emily, find strength, courage, and consolation in the happy memories they shared with Janice.
My husband and I would like to convey our deepest sympathy to the family and friends of your beloved Janice. We would like to share with you something that has brought us much comfort at a similar time in our lives. John 11:14-44 shares with us the experience of Jesus resurrecting Lazarus here on earth before the very eyes of those he loved. We can only imagine the tears of joy when we too are reunited with our dear loved ones. (John 5:28,29) Janice will surely be missed by many of those who’s lives she shared, remember the experiences you shared together and learn from them, hold them close to your heart and cherish them. May you find comfort from those who surround you at this very difficult time. Our sincere condolences to all of you
RIP Aunt Janice…It was years ago when I was a young girl when I met you. Im David E Haugh’s daughter~ but I love your family weather far or near…Sorry I wasnt or didnt get to see you again through these years!!!

With deepest sympathy on the passing of your beloved sister, Janice. My memories go way back to her as a young girl in Drexel Hill, PA and to her kind and loving ways. May her family find consolation in the comfort of friends and may Janice rest in eternal peace.
Emily and family, So sorry about your loss. The video tribute is so beautiful. Sisters are loved ones that link us together forever with memories of joy, and comfort in sadness. Remember the sharing of all those times. Cling to the thought of seeing her again where all things are beautiful. Much love and many prayers, Rita M., Maria’s sister.
