Though I had not seen or had contact with Jan for many years, I was heartbroken to hear of her passing. I met Jan in 1975 and we became fast friends and soon began going together as boy & girl friend. For nearly two years we were very close and  inseparable. We were sure we'd get married. But it wasn't to be. Back then I was fairly new to my faith in Jesus. It was only by his grace that I led Jan and her sister Julie to the Lord; I was immature and had so much to learn. More recently, I was grieved to hear that Jan was not well and my heart was wounded when I was informed of her death. I'm so glad to have known her. It's fitting that her name means "gift from God." She was a gift of God to me, all those years ago, as  I'm sure she was to many, many others since. I will never forget Jan.  I'm also grateful to have known Julie. She reached out to me years ago with much encouragement and brought me up to speed about her,  Jim, their family, and dear Jan. May the Lord Jesus, who died for our sins and arose from the dead to save us, grant comfort and peace to Jan's family during this sad time of loss. May we look with confidence to Jesus to reunite us with him in his glory! May God richly bless you all! Randy Rheaume

Janice was such a special person. Starting when she and the kids lived outside Rochester and continuing in St Clair Shores, I slept over a lot. Janice was so cool! I’d walk in (after 1000 times of her telling me to just come in, not knock), and sit with her for a while and hang out before I went to find Jenna. My parents didn’t cook or eat any particularly interesting foods, and she knew that, so she’d always have a pot roast going for me or order something fun from a Chinese restaurant. She was so fun and easy to talk to you. We’d gossip or she’d tell me about whatever show she was watching and maybe give me some life advice. Her skin was so beautiful and she said it was because she started moisturizing early. She told me that if I’m old enough to wear make up, I’m old enough to start moisturizing - and that really stuck in my brain! When people tell me that I don’t even have any wrinkles at nearly 40, I tell them that story. She was so creative too; she did wall treatments that were so cool. Like so cool! Some sort of a burlap thing and painting with a sponge…. And she loved her upside down Christmas tree! Janice was just really special. She was really strong and loved the people around her and could be really gentle, but also took no shit - and she had the coolest hair too. I’d come over to spend the night and she’d give us 20 bucks to go to CVS and buy whatever snacks we wanted, as long as we got the coffee she liked. At the time I think that was international coffee “Cafe Vienna” or something like that. She will be missed and remembered fondly.

The doors of heaven opened up for another wonderful person that I had the privilege of calling a very good friend and co-worker.  Janice Robinson and I sat next to each other for a few years and there was never a day in which she never failed to make me laugh or brighten my day with her animal stories.  She was one of the most caring and thoughtful persons I had the pleasure of knowing.  Her love for animals,  especially her dog Riggs, was an inspiration for all to be as caring and loving to all of God's creatures as He is to all of us.

Time is too short to  spend what days we have been given on this earth to be filled with hate and a dislike for one another.  In the times that I spent with Janice, I can honestly say that she lived her life filled with love, caring and support for one another and she was always willing to listen.  She appreciated the world around her and always strived to make it a better place with her artful talents. There was nothing more important to her than her family and I always enjoyed hearing her speak about them with a face that lit up each time.

Good friends like Janice don't come around very often and today there is yet another open space in my heart.  Thank you,  Janice,  for being an unforgettable friend and I will never forget you. Rest in peace in the hands of God.

My heart breaks for you all. We had so many wonderful memories together. Family parties, Christmas, Fourth of July pig roasts. Life was blessed. Heaven gains an angel. Sending Prayers and Condolences. I love you Jesse, Joshua and Jenna. 

We were so sorry to hear of Jan’s passing. She was such a wonderful person. She helped me so much when I had a big Samoyed dog. Praying for comfort for Josh, Kesse  and Jenna and the rest of the family. Love you all.
