My memories of Janice is many. but one that stands out is when she went with me to the hospital yo visit my granddaughter. She knew I was worried about her and Janice gave me words of encouragment. I will remember Janice as a fiesty, caring and much Loved woman and the talks we had. She will truly be missed.

I remember interviewing with Janice in the summer of 2005 for a teaching position at Sullivan. I have to say, she was probably the most intimidating little woman I have ever met in my life and it feels amazing that she had the compassion to allow me to be a part of her vision. I am very blessed to be a part of Sullivan House and forever grateful to Janice for giving me so many gifts.
