Facebook Twitter GoogleDear family of Jan, She was my closest cousin as we were just more than one year apart. She had suffered long enough and I expect to meet her again in heaven with our Lord Jesus Christ. Jim, I know what you will be going through and be assured of my prayers for you for peace. Love to you and all the family. I hope to come to a memorial service when it is decided in Indiana. Jill and Laymon Glass

Facebook Twitter GoogleI was so sorry that Janice passed. As a youth, I looked up to my cousin and wished that I could be as attractive as Janice. It was always a treat when the Sparks family came to visit all of the rest of our family in Charlotte, Michigan. Our parents must have been very close as they named her Janice Kay and our parents named us Lois Gaye and Joan Faye. Janice was my idol and I will miss her.

I don’t have your phone number but I would like to talk to you. My phone # is 654-4042. You will be in our prayers now and in the days ahead. Mary Alice & Lanny
