Janice

I would like to remember a dear friend that I had while I was in Bible College (Western). It would have been her birthday the other day and would have been 36 years old. Janice was a hoot! We had lots of fun together playing practical jokes (mostly on Annmarie), hanging out, shopping, watching movies, and enjoying frozen yogurts in a waffle cone at the mall. I could talk to Janice about anything, she was not judgmental at all and I loved her very much.

When I moved from BC to Sask (or ran away as I did not like the person I was becoming out there and I also did not have a job), I lost touch with Janice - but she will always be in my heart.

Janice died almost 2 years ago this summer and unfortunately I am not sure of her spiritual state at the time. She did early in the morning in a car crash in Langley, BC. She was struggling spiritually when I moved from BC in 1994 and it is hard being unsure. I know that she was open again just before her death from comments made to Annmarie (another friend of ours).

Since Janice has died I have really tried to make a concious effort to keep in contact with friends more. It is hard at times because we all live individual lives now, but it is important to keep friends in your heart and to pray for them.

If I could have talked to Janice one last time, I would have told her that I value her as a friend, I loved her, and that she would be in my heart always.
