Aunt Janyce was a wonderful woman who always remembered my birthday as I was growing up. I will never forget that. She recently gave me a sentimental wedding gift that I will always cherish in her memory. My sympathy goes out to all of the family and friends that loved her dearly. We are all lucky to have had her in our lives. To all of my cousins and aunts and uncles…my thoughts are with you.
Dear Bill, Nancy and families,
I was so saddened to hear of your loss. I’ve been thinking alot of the wonderful people I use to clean for and Janyce was always a joy to see. I remember when I first met her, she had me sit on her sofa and we talked and she filled the room with her warmth. I so wanted to visit with her as I am moving back to Pennsylvania from North Carolina, and I feel a great loss in that I will not be able to do so. My thoughts and prayers go out to all of you and her grandchildren. I am fortunate and have been Blessed to have known her for she touched me and my spirit is enriched by her generous kindness she always showed me. Fondly, Debbie
Jodi, Dave & Girls & the extended family and friends of Janyce

We need to reflect on everything that your Mom’s life experiences and wisdom have taught and brought to all of us and make sure that we continue that legacy every day.
