My deepest sympathy to Janice’s family & friends.🙏❤️
We were HS classmates & good friends. So sorry.
Janice and Rollin were table mates of my parents at Woodland Manor. I shared many meals with them when I visited from Oregon. I’ll always have fond memories of Janice’s sweet smile and the twinkle in her eyes when we visited. She was simply lovely! I pray for God’s comfort to Rollin and the rest of the family during this hard season.
I got to know Janice and Rollin where they shared a dining table with my parents, Oliver and Eunice at Woodland Manor. They enjoyed getting to know Janice and Rollin just as I did. I will miss the sly smile Janice flashed when she kicked someone under the dining table! She clearly had a fun sense of humor.
God be with you and know that you have our prayers.
My sisters and I got to know Janice she and Rollin moved into Woodland Manor and say together in the dining room for every meal. We were so happy that the two couples with farming backgrounds could be together. They had a lot to talk about. When I joined them, Janice always had a sly smile for me and often a funny comment. We felt blessed to get to know her and will miss her. God’s blessings on all of your family.
