Our hearts are full with cherished memories and love throughout the years. Janice was so hospitable when we traveled to Victoria, and we so thrilled when she regularly traveled to Georgia and Tennessee to see us all. God received a jewel - till we all meet again. Michael Wood, Linda Wood Sharpe, Brenda Wood Arnold (Sue Wood's children)

I enjoyed knowing Janice when I lived in Victoria. She always had a smile, a great sense of humor, and was a treasure of knowledge. She will be missed by all who knew her.
