Nanna/Nanna Jan Jan, you made my childhood magical and I was so lucky to be part of your world for so long and for you to be around to be part of my little family. You’re a beautiful person, cheeky, witty and full of light and love. You have left such a beautiful legacy with your 3 loving daughters, your grandkids and your great-grandbabies who adore you. I will always treasure our last conversation and glad you’re at peace. Thank you for everything - I know you’ll be cheeky up there. Courts drew a beautiful picture of you in heaven. Until we meet again xoxox Mel and fam

We were very sad to hear of Janice"s passing and our thoughts are with Sue, Pam, Shelley and Wendy during this sad time. We have a lot of fond memories of Janice and Doug, through the years and what always stood out about Janice was her grace, warmth and her love for her family. Janice was also a very dear sister to my mother Denise, who she shared a very special bond with.
While circumstances meant that contact was minimal in the latter years, Janice, you will always be remembered as the loving, caring, warm person you were, as well as your ability to out yodel the best of them.
Always in our thoughts
David & Deirdra
