I first met Janice and her family as her home healthcare nurse and was welcomed into her home by her bright smile and positive spirit. While caring for her the overwhelming feeling of love, family and peace within her home, as well as her daughter and husband’s devotion and their strong family bond, touched my heart. Janice taught me by example what courage, strength and hope truly mean. Even on the days I knew she was suffering, her bright smile and her hugs when I entered their home - first as her nurse and later as her friend - touched my heart. I loved making her laugh and hope I was able to provide some small measure of comfort to her and her family. It was sincerely a privilege and a pleasure to care for her and become a part of her family.
