My Sincere Condolences to all of Janice's Family on their loss. I remember seeing her & her sister Janet around South ayne during their High School year and Orville & I were acquainted with their parents families. At that time Orville & I farmed the Chapman farm below Town and knew many students. Janice was sweet & always had a kind greeting when I saw her uptown. I also went to School with Dean & John ...a long time ago now. Orville passed last year but we often reminized about our South Wayne & Argyle friends. My thoughts & Prayers are with all family members of Janice. I know she will be missed! God Bless. Dorothy (Collins) Swanson of Murray-Kentucky

My sympathy to all of Janice’s family. I was honored to be able to care for Janice at CreatRidge. I will be doing a sing-a-long at CrestRidge on Friday during her visitation. We will have a moment of silence for her. She enjoyed singing and a hug when I came to sing. Take care, all. Carol Small
