I have many memories of Janice. But my favorite are when all her children were very young and she would "share" them with me when I went to stay at Grandma John's during the summer. My day started out with Grandma making me breakfast then I would head over to Jan's to play with the kids. I can remember her letting me get the latest baby out of the crib to hold and cuddle with. The older kids and I would usually end up at Aunt Wanda's pool with me being the life guard. Then we would go back to Jan's and she would fix us lunch. She would ask again oh so kindly and politely if I minded if the kids went with me back to the pool. What she never knew was I LOVED spending time with them. When my cousin Doug got home from work I would head back to Grandma's and spend the late afternoon and evening with her. Many years later Jan was the person who would babysit by 2 nieces Laura and Amber. She was always surrounded by children and seemed to love it!! We will miss her.
