My Nana was a great person. She was very lovable, she had great friends and she helped a lot of people. She will always be in my memory, she taught me about the world of Elvis Presley. Whenever we would go on a ride, she would always play "Blue Hawaii" and I would never get tired of it. R.I.P. Nana, I will always love you and miss you.

To Kerrie and Michael and Ian, my sincere sympathy for your loss. May you find peace and comfort in all the many fond memories of a wonderful life.
My name is Linda Frigon Moriarty. I met Janice in Sept. 1959 in homeroom in the new Cathedral High School. I remember her as a very pretty, very smart girl. Unless she went to a CHS reunion, I probably never meet up with her again but am amazed about another coincidence about us - we share the same birthday - Feb. 27, 1943! I am sorry for your loss. Sincerely, Linda Moriarty
