I was fortunate to meet Janice through my lifelong friendship with Dennis. She grew to be an amazing woman who spent her time trying to quietly provide support and assistance to those lucky enough to have entered her orbit. And to Dennis, we don’t pass away, we pass on. The energy that was Janice will thrive for eternity, an energy that flows through you too old friend. I wish Janice well as her adventure continues. Our grief is for the loss from our loss of her physical presence. Our joy is her legacy, that of a warm, caring person who now moves on into the Cosmos. Soar on Janice.
