Thank you so much Stacey for letting me know today (Dec. 11th, 2019) that your mom passed away. Memories of Janice have been circling my mind today of all the great times Janice and I had in our teenage years. We were constantly together and the best of friends back then. Keeping in touch only through Xmas letters and the odd call once in awhile, we were still able to speak freely and openly about what is happening in our lives, listening to each other's stories as our kids were growing up. Your Mom's love will live forever in each and every one of you. Take care, Lesley - Posted by: Lesley Nomme (nee Olenick) (very good friends for over 50 years) on: Dec 11, 2019

I am so very sorry to read this news of Janice’s passing. Janice was one of the kindest people I have ever met. We moved away from Niverville 16 years ago but remained in southeastern manitoba and would run into Janice from time to time . She never forgot our names and she always asked about our girls and how they were doing . May you rest In peace Janice and our sincere condolences to the family - Posted by: Darryl and Cathy Harder (Customers ) on: Feb 23, 2019
