“I will treasure the memory of Janice. We met at Christcare's Stitchers and shared many laughs together. Her love of Jesus showed with every smile and devotion she read to us. Her choices of colors for her quilts was excellent and she shared her knowledge of sewing quilts to me as I was learning her fine art of quilting. I will continue to miss her.”
