My condolences to Janice’s family. I know how dearly she was loved and cared for. She will be greatly missed. My deepest sympathy to Matt and all of her family.
Jan was a wonderful neighbor. When my kids were young they would go over to Jan’s house to get a treat. She always had homemade cookies that she would always make available. She was a sweetheart of a lady and will be truly missed. Condolences to Matt and his family.
