Janice…or Ms. Alden as I used to call her was a wonderful person, mom, grandmother, teacher, etc. I can distinctly hear her voice asking Michelle to do something…or Matt to help her out something away. She was a great mother that cared deeply for both her children. This not only was seen in her own immediate family, but beyond familial ties. Janice…I know you are looking down on us as we celebrate you…I pray that you always wrap your arms around us when you are missed at a gathering. Thank you for touching my life Ms. Alden…you will be deeply missed.

Ms. Jan was such a special lady to me. I loved our visits & our phone conversations. She loved you kids/grandkids so much as she bragged often. Loves, hugs & prayers to each of you. Thank you for sharing your mom with me. She blessed me & I appreciated her dearly!
