    To the Smith family:
    I didn’t work directly with Janice but we were in the same building for the last few years. And I must say she was always smiling and spoke with laughter in her voice. We would leave work in the afternoons and she joked me on a regular about us trading vehicles, she said she wanted mines.
    She was a very kind person and “I am still in disbelief”
    My prayers are with the family…

    To The Smith Family

    I did not work directly with Janice in our HIM department, but when I would come into the office, she was the first person I had catch up with. Her laugh was the best. She was such a cheerful and kind person to be around, and she is missed.

    My thoughts and prayers are with you during with difficult time.

    To Janice’s family-
    Often, Janice and I started our workdays early and we would be in the office, by ourselves. She was always bright, like the sun at 06:30. I miss her brightness and laughter.

    Please know, I have you and yours in my thought sand prayers.

    Dear Smith Family,
    I will deeply miss Janice, her laughter, and spunky attitude. We shared a cubicle space for quite a while until she moved only just across from me thankfully. We connected immediately and throughout our years together shared recipes, jokes, and lots of candy. The hole she leaves in our hearts and our office will never be filled. She made every day brighter for us who knew her.
    God Bless her spirit and her family.

    Sending my deepest condolences to the family of Janice, I worked with her in the HIM department at CHKD and can still hear her sweet voice yell “Hey boo!” across the parking lot. She always had a big smile on her face and a spunky spirit that made me laugh. I will miss her and her energy. <3

    To Janice’s Family,
    Working for the last 10, going on 11 years with Janice have been a ride all its own. Starting out as my team mate during our mid shift between 2nd and 3rd shifts had been eventful and she always laughed about my daughters calling. She watched my girls grow & wanted my dog as her own. I am saddened by her passing but I am also relieved that she is no longer with ailments. Remember the good times. My prayers go out to your family.

    To The Smith Family
    My deepest heartfelt condolences for the loss of a daughter, sister, aunt, friend, and most important a co-worker. Janice was a breath of sunshine and joyful soul all wrapped up in one. I miss seeing her in the hallways at work or get a call every now and then asking me a question. Janice always had a kind word for everyone.
    God always picks the best for his home in Glory. Have comfort in know that Janice has walked through the Pearly Gates of Heaven, she’s just walking all over heaven with a Big Smile on her face….

    Smith Family,

    My prayers go out to you’ll. I am so sorry for your loss. To not see Ms. Janice car in the parking lot, to not see her at her desk just hurts my heart. we have been working together for the past few years, she was always so kindhearted. I’m so use to her walking in the office and hearing her say MORNING BOO! I miss the long conversations. I really do! it went from me talking about doing parties, crafts and etc. to her talking about new shoes we would purchase and her mom (she didn’t play about her). I just wish I could look up over my booth and see her or just hear her laugh. she will definitely be missed. R.I.P Beautiful

    Dear Janice’s Family,

    Janice had a HUGE impact in my life and blessed me with her kind and loving heart, her grace and most of all, her joy. We had such FUN conversations in the morning at work which definitely brought LOTS of laughter but we also had serious ones regarding faith and love of family. Janice was well known to bring the sunshine to our day and I am forever grateful for her friendship. Sending all of you love and healing prayers and may God give you strength, comfort and peace.

    I knew Janice from work. She was our Earthly angel! She was always so full of joy, grace, and a loving spirit. We will remember her smiling face and laugh. I know she is up there with her Heavenly Father, now doing his work. God needed you more. Prayers for her mom, her dad, her sisters & brothers, and extended family. Janice will be missed!!!
    On a funny note – At least you missed this extended heat wave – we know you didn’t like the hot summer days :)
    My condolences.

    Dear Smith Family,

    Janice “Nana” as she liked to be called was a lovely soul. She liked all my silly jokes and her laughter was contagious. I’ve only been her co-worker for the past year and a half, but I will remember her for my lifetime. She will be dearly missed. God bless you all and may she rest in peace.
