She achieved an arts scholarship to an artistic school and was an amazing artist. She worked with her creativity there until having her first child Curtis. Janice has worked diligently as an activist for many years.
Janice loved her children more then anything. She had taken up many different roles during her time with us, she has remodeled every house she’s lived in and turned them into Homes. Janice loved to bike and was an avid cyclist. She was Doctor Mom. Janice was the most beautiful person in the world, and One Of A Kind. She didn’t earn much Official recognition, but also didn’t ask for any.
