Dave, Dax, Justin and Families
I'm so sorry to hear of Janice's passing. I remember all of you coming into Krogers and shopping. I was the one that worked in the produce dept. and always teased the boys when they were little. I live out of state but keep in touch thru the internet. Janice was such a nice lady, always with a smile on her face, and a twinkle in her eye. I enjoyed when I was able to talk to her - the plans we made fixing up my daughter Marcy and Dax for their first date. Of course, Marcy was just a baby so we always had a good laugh over it. Please give the rest of your families my deepest sympathy and know that you all will be in my prayers.

Dear Dave, Dax and Justin,
I am so sorry to hear about the passing of Janice. I lost my mother when I was younger and it was not easy to accept. I know how you are feeling. As time passes it will get easier to accept, but you will always miss her. I remember your mother going on a field trip with the class when I taught Dax at Highland Elementary. She was always a very loving and up-beat person, always smiling. Dax I want you to know how much I enjoyed having you in third grade and I knew then how smart you were and you would grow up to make something of your life. Your mom was so proud of you and Justin. Please know that all of you are in our prayers and thoughts. Take care. Sincerely, Larry Nartker and family

I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. I always enjoyed talking to Janice at the ballpark and when I'd see her at ballgames. She will be greatly missed. I'll keep you all in my prayers.
