Dear family,
My sympathy is with you, and may these promises from the Scriptures bring comfort and endurance in this time of sorrow. Jehovah God is close to the brokenhearted, and saves those who are crushed in spirit. And he will wipe away the tears from all faces. Psalm 34:18; Isaiah 25:8 NWT. Janice will be missed. Peace be with you, dear family.
