She often reminded us of what she had started!

Some many great grandchildren and great great great children that loved her dearly and she loves dearly!

Janice was a member of the church of Jesus Christ of latter-day Saints and would testify to the fact that this was the only true church. She was a true believer. I remember her always trying to teach us about God and how to go back to him someday. I feel that she's there with the Lord and her husband Ned and all her family members that have gone before her and she's happy now. Life is forever changed for the ones she left behind. We will miss her greatly but we know she's in a better place. And we will see her someday again.

Love you Mom,
