Sorry to hear of Jan’s passing. I enjoyed working with her at Scott-Preusse’s. We had some great times back in the day. Blessed be her memory.
Our sympathy to all. Prayers to you
Sorry to hear of Janice’s passing. I have great memories of going and visiting with Janice the last couple of years. She would always welcome you with a big hug and a kiss as you arrived and when you left. It was interesting to see what color she had decided to paint her nails that week. I always knew that I would be getting ice cream when he went there as we always went to the Dairy Queen to get Janice’s favorite Cherry Dilly bar. Each time we visited, Janice would ask Marlene how Todd and his daughters were doing. I was amazed that she remembered there names and what sports or activities they were in. She would know what time different sports we’re on TV. We would try to find a room that we can watch baseball or football or whatever sport was on with her. She enjoyed crafts I still have a bracelet she made for me. When any of the nurses or other clients were around she would always introduce us as Arlene and Marlene my twin cousins from Rochester. This made me feel very proud to be her cousin as they all seem to enjoy being with her. We always seem to do some activity with her when we were there like playing bingo the last time we were there we were invited to join in singing church hymns. Everyone staff and patients were excited to see Janice. I’m sorry I did visit more. I will miss her.
