Jan I remember you and think of you often. You were a strong woman physically and of faith. I loved your squash fritters. I hope you had much happiness and peace in life after you left Beulah. Rest now with Jesus. Your friend Big Chris.
I worked with Janice in the Food Lion Deli in Staunton, VA. She was an absolutely amazing woman and a joy to be around. She always made me smile and laugh. I will always cherish her memory and may she rest eternally in paradise.
