Janice was a client of mine and a great friend . I did her hair and she always insisted that I had a piece of pizza with her that she had bought next door to our salon. I’d take her home so she wouldn’t have to call uber .We’d visit on the phone sometimes, she was such a good listener .
She was my friend and I’ll never forget her . Terri Williams.
