I was saddened to read that the class of 1963 has lost another classmate. My memories of Janice go all the way back to our grade school days at Cherry School! She was a kind , soft spoken person then and remained so throughout her life.
My thoughts and prayers go out to her family! Pat Stewart Clark

It's sad to hear of another classmate passing away. I had to look at our yearbook to see what she was involved in. It's hard for the entire family to loose the mom,grandmother and friend of all. May God bless and comfort them
