I am so sad for your loss. I remember Janiece always being so full of life and laughter. I have many fond memories of time spent at your home and at the camp ground in Muskegon. I know she will be deeply missed.

I love you and miss you terribly. It has been a rough year and a=half for you. I don't know how you made it day-by-day for the last couple of weeks, but those struggles are over for you now. I trust the Lord knows what's doing.
Forever,
Charlie

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.
