Helen and I want to express our deep sorrow that this sweet gal is no longer with us. Helen so enjoyed talking with Janeice this last year while she fights for her life from a hospital bed in our living room. Janeice was an inspiration to us both. We send big hugs to Heather and Charlie, well as their families.

— John and Helen Vanden Hoek
