I met Janice at AMFAM in December 2009 she was my mentor. I have never met a kinder more compassionate person in my life. When my son in law died she was very kind to me which sounds simplistic but I could tell she felt pain for me and made me feel better. She will be sorely missed by many of her AMFAM family and we are a little better for having known her. she loved her family very much and you could hear her pride when she spoke of her daughters and husband. I am so sorry for their loss and wish them comfort in knowing that Janice's goodness touched many people.
Sincerely,
Terry Pearson

Dear God:
Please take the soul and spirit of this dear departed one into the sweetest corner of your mind, the most tender place in Your heart, that she, and her family, may be comforted.
For now she has gone, and I pray, dear God, for the strength to remember she has not gone far.
For she is with You and shall remain so forever.
She remains within us, for we are all in You together.
The cord that binds us one to the other cannot be cut, surely not by death.
For You, dear God, have brought us together, and we remain in eternal connection.
There is no power greater than You.
Death is not Your master, nor mine.
These things I believe and ask my heart to register.
I surrender to You my grief.
I surrender to You my pain.
Please take care of Your servant, my dear one who has passed.
And please, dear Lord, take care of her family.
Amen.

If anyone could be described as a "angel on earth" I think Janice fits that description to a tee! She was a kind caring soul and I never ever heard her say a bad word about someone. Only good things. She will be missed very much and I am glad that I got to know her. My thoughts are with your family.
