Over the years she developed lasting friendships with people from Ohio New Jersey Alabama Maryland California and Florida who were treated like family.

Janice the love of my life and our dear mother and friend was a strong and generous spirit with an incomparably quick mind who was without equal in her love of books reading dogs and worthwhile charities. She was a master at Jeopardy questions and newspaper puzzles. Our family is asking that in lieu of flowers donations be made in her name to children support groups schools libraries or wounded veterans organizations.
