I remember Janice as a kind, sweet sister to all of us. She was always trying to make you laugh. Janice was number 6 in a family of 12. When we were doing the dishes at home with a large dinner (supper) as we called it, everyone had a job. Janice and her younger sister, Connie’s job was to dry the dishes. Many times they snuck out of the house giggling the whole while. At the time, they were probably 5 and 6 years old. They didn’t get away with it, but they had fun trying. She will be a big loss in our family. Love you, Janice!!
