Janice was a close friend of my parents since 1963. I have know her and Bill all my life. They were next door neighbors in North Charleston and later in Summerville. She was a special person who was always there for me and our family. She will truly be missed by all of us. I recall her going back to school and obtaining her college degree which was so important to her. I remember how proud she was for obtaining that life long goal. She always had a smile on her face and genuinely cared about others. She will always be Aunt Janice to me. May the Peace of Christ be with you now and forever Aunt Janice.
