I was just reminiscing about your mom, not knowing that she had died until I saw this online - almost a year since she has been gone. We met your parents in 2012 but had had a wonderful friendship with them while they still lived in Summerville. We would go to lunch about once a month and had SO many laughs. They were great fun in spite of developing problems, and we regretted when they had to move, though we understood why. They loved you all so much and were so proud of their daughters and their Grands. We have wonderful memories of them both! Lovingly, Ginny and Dave Rehr

Dear Margaret and Bentley,
I was so saddened to hear about Janice´s passing. I loved your mother so much and will be missed immensely. She had the extraordinary ability to lift up others. My many years working with her were a gift and a privileges.
I pray for both of you and your families for peace and solace during this difficult time.
I also pray especially for Janice´s precious grandchildren whom she loved so much and was so very proud of them.
