Heaven really did gain such a beautiful angel Monday night. I miss you more than anything. I feel like a piece of me is gone. But these 2 years have been such a struggle. Not just for you, but for all of us. Watching you battle cancer and go through chemo tore me apart. I really wish I could have saved you. Not a day will go by where I won't think of you. I feel like this pain will never heal, but everyone says it gets easier. I know your watching down on me, and I'm going to make you proud. I know they say everything happens for a reason, sometimes I just knew what that reason was. You should have never got cancer is the first place. I will never understand why god took you. You were too much of a good person and too young.. Everyone loved you. Atleast your not in pain anymore. I know I'll see you again someday. I love you so much, nana. You've earned your wings. You'll always be my beautiful angel. Gone but never forgotten.

I will never forget out wonderful times at. Eye health in Weymouth. Janice was a sincerely nice and crazy person. She was as she told us all "the prettiest girl in the office". We laughed everyday over some crazy act whether it be singing out loud or just some crazy family story . She especially loved her grandkids and made us all laugh by sharing some of their antics. She was unique and will be missed by all who knew and loved her.

John,Kendra,Lauren,Sandy,Tom,Donna, I am so sad to hear about Janice's passing. I will always remember her as she looks in this picture. She was a kind and caring person and I am happy to say I was the recipient of her caring many years ago. We had great times together, and then as the days got busier with our families we saw less and less of each other. Yet Janice has always been in my heart and always will. May you find a way to get past the pain and find strength in the great memories you have. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. Marilyn
