This Psalm is so fitting. Janice had a love of God like few people I have known. She lived her life for God and family and gave so much to so many.

It was truly an honor to grow up across the street from your mom for so many years and then to be able to care for her during this journey. Her love for the Lord was an inspiration and she is so happy to be in Heaven and with Mr Gerry. She loved you all so deeply. Our prayers are with you. Love , Ashley Marks
