Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
Bill, John, Paul, Chris, I remember so well meeting ‘Aunt Jan,’ 18 years ago while Deanne (24) was walking door to door pedaling Girl Scout Cookies. When we approached the door Jan responded with the smile she always had and greeted Deanne like Girl Scout cookies was something she didn’t have. In a quick second, Karen(20), then 2 yrs old, saw this woman and started screaming for Aunt Jan. At that moment, I became educated that Karen’s childcare provider, Loree and Tony, knew Janice Hanna as, ‘Aunt Jan,’ and Karen was very familiar with her. Jan was a delight, a friend to all, and a great neighbor in Forest Hills. Her unending philanthrophic nature was shared with so many, and so many have learned from her how to give to a community in need. You all shared her with us, thank you. God gave us a gift on earth, and has a greater plan for Jan now. Bless her soul as she now watches over you from her perch above.
Bill, Jon, Paul, Chris and Family . . . it has been a privilege these past four months to watch you lift up, care for and encourage your wife and mother as she courageously battled one of the toughest trials life has to offer. Throughout her illness, Janice knew she was loved. As you deal with your loss in the coming days, our prayer is that wonderful family memories coupled with an abiding trust in the promises of God will provide for you that ‘peace which transcends all understanding.’
