Marvin and Janice, I'm so sorry for your loss. I can't imagine how you feel over the loss of a child, but know that my heart goes out to you and I will keep you in my thoughts.
Kathy Templeton Wilson - Friend

Marvin, Janice and Vance: I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Although I had not seen Janna in years, I will always consider her a wonderful friend. I still remember, as if it were yesterday, the day you all moved in next door to us. I was so excited to have someone my age next door. Through the years Janna became one of my best childhood freinds. I will always cherish the memories. May God watch over and protect you all during this time. I will miss her.

I was so sorry to hear about Janna. I mostly remember her when she was in school. She graduated a yr ahead of my daughter, Melody. It seemed to me she was always smiling.
