During the last stages of her illness the malignancy spread to her lungs. Her family and friends suffered with her until the very last moments of her premature death.
We join in extending our heartfelt condolences to all of the survivors of her family. Janice was dearly loved by everyone and it goes without saying, that she will be sorely missed.

Peter,
Please believe me when I say that living longer, as Nan and I have done is really a very mixed blessing. Although we’ve seen and experienced much happiness, we are also living through far too much tragedy. Too often, now, we are seeing sons and daughters die before their parents. For Jean to see her daughter pass on is not at all what was meant to be.
While all that any of us can do now is offer condolences, it seems hardly enough. But what else we or anyone can do at a time like this, does not easily come to mind.
Nan and Papa
Dearest Peter and Loretta,
Some pains can not be shared, but please know you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.
May you find peace in your time of sorrow.
With all our love,
