Janice has left a very special spot in my heart. I will never, ever forget her. She was one of my all time favorite patients. She taught me so much about being a nurse. She helped me not to sweat the small stuff. I will truly miss her!!!! Seeing her ride around the halls always made me smile. I taught her the ‘parade wave.’ I will never forget her smiling face waving at me. I do have peace that she is no longer suffering. Can’t wait to see her again one day.
Janice was a very special person.
She will always be remembered and loved by my family as a very sweet girl that loved going to the Olive Garden. She was a real survivor.
She is with Jesus now and in peace forever.
I met Janice in February 1993 and we became instant friends. We made many wonderful memories together through the years and I loved her very much. I was like a big sister to her and enjoyed her company on our treks out to eat, to the movies and special places on her birthdays. She was a sweet angel in my eyes and now she is truly an Angel. She will be missed very much.
the lord called your name and now you are at home suffering no more pain.may you rest in peace till we meet again. good bye janice my friend
Janice: We love you and will miss you. You have been a great inspiration to your family at Arrowhead. You have shown more courage than anyone I have ever known. You never complained about anything and your will to live was unbelievable. You taught us so much. You had an unfair start in life that continued all through your your life, but you dealt with it and made the most of it. There is no more suffering now. As you were on earth you continue to be a little angel. We love you Janice. Marilyn J. Jones: ARROWHEAD APARTMENTS
I will miss Janice with all my heart. She has taught me so much about compassion and the ‘fighting spirit’. She taught me how to be a wonderful nurse to my patients. I will think of her always.
Janice was an incredibly special young woman. I know that she will now live in peace. We will all miss her.

Janice was an incredibly positive person who never let her health problems get her down. She always had that spark, an extra little spunk about her. I will always remember Janice as she zipped down the halls of the hospital in her motorized wheelchair, terrorizing the doctors and touching the hearts of all of her nurses. Janice, ‘Little Bit’, you are at peace. You will be missed.
Janice came to mean a lot to both of us during her time as an Arrowhead resident. We shared many good times and meals together. Janice kept us in stitches at bingo, she had a great sense of humor. Janice will carry our love with her always.
My deepest sympathy goes out to all Janices’ family and friends. It’s a great comfort to know she is now home with the Lord. Janice will always have a place in all our hearts.
With my deepest sympathy to all the family. I will always remember and love her.
With deepest sympathy in this day of loss. She will never be forgotten
