"Oh, Janice, how I miss your smiling face. I might have to join Facebook after all to keep track of Bambi and Lauren! When you were welcomed into your new life, I'm sure a short, blond, bearded camp director was part of the group. Love you, bless you, miss you. "

Tributes
"Janice was the nicest, kindest, most giving person I have ever met. She will be GREATLY missed by all who knew her. All the wonderful things she did in this life will not go unrewarded, God bless you."
"I worked with Jan at post lake inn, also knew her very well because she was one of the three- Janice, Judy, and jean ann. My father used too call her bushels!!! She will be sadly missed a lot."
"Mom had a way with people. She was so friendly and quick with a smile; it was hard not to like her. It is one of the reasons she so enjoyed working at places like North Trail Store, Post Lake Inn and the Clubhouse."
"Got to meet Janice and her family these last few weeks as her nurse. We shared a lot of laughs and tears daily with her ups and downs. I felt like I was part of the family. I will never forget when I was trying to calm her down and help her get through her pain by telling her to find her "happy place" to relax and help the pain medication work and she told me that "My happy place has gone to hell". I love you all. take care of yourselves. She is in a much better place now and free from all of her pain."
