Anissa and all family to Janice, so many loved her. She was such a sweet presence and even when going through hard times or grief herself she was there for me and many others going through the hardest times. Just with her wisdom but empathetic words, posts or hang in there, thoughts expressed. She encouraged me through the darkest of times just with her care, so authentic for people in need. She will be missed and she is rejoicing with her baby now where angels on earth go to. She is at peace though will be missed here on earth with all who love her but to unite with her once again. Love you.
