Sorry about Janice. I work with her and Edna at the hospital. Jim went to school with Janice and grew up in the New Market area.

My heart is saddened by my friend's passing. My thoughts go back to our youth. We rode horses and shared our love of animals. We went to ball games and shared our thoughts about just about everything. Edna and Howard were great folks and shared their home and tried to keep us girls out of trouble. When they got older, Janice took care of them and never complained. She was cheerful and helped anyone she could. Her trials were many, but her faith sustained her. She will be greatly missed around New Market.
Wendell, So sorry to read about your sister. Remember the good times with her. Thought & prayers are with you at this difficult time. Old classmate Sandra Hawk Tolle.
I'm so sorry to hear of Janice death. I always enjoyed visiting with her when she would visit our church. She will be greatly missed. Keeping you all in my prayers.
I was so sorry to hear of the passing of Janice. She was in my graduating class of 1967. My thoughts and prayers will be with your family.
May God bless you.
I was saddened to hear of Janice's passing. I will miss my traveling companion to Eastgate near Cincinnati. Our main destination was often to Dillard's for a gift card or to make a payment. We were also late night shoppers at Walmart, Kroger's, and Kmart in Hillsboro. It helped us forget our troubles. We often found bargains! She also loved my daughter, Amy, which endeared herself to me. (My tears are falling.) We both graduated in 1967 from Hillsboro High School.

Wendell & Joyce, We are so sorry to hear about Janice's passing. Our prayers and thoughts are with you all. It has been long while since I had seen her but I can still remember the days when Uncle Howard/Aunt Edna and she would visit with Mom & Dad. Hope all goes well and if we can do anything, please just give us a call.
Janice will be missed, she was a friend that always helped others, and was cheery even when things werent going well.
I am so sorry for your loss.Janice and I were room mates on our senior trip. We had a good time I believe.
I am saddened at the loss of another friend. Janice was so committed to her church and was always busy working there, doing everything she could to help. When somone was in need, she used to call us, when we was traveling and singing to do a benefit to help them out. She was one special lady. I'm sure she will be missed in the hearts of many.
Janice was very special to me. I am Danny O'Cull's daughter. I am very sorry for your loss.
