I hope no one minds but I have ordered flowers for Janice on behalf of the Crestview High School class of 1967. She was always a lot of fun and nice to everyone.
Besides the loss of Janice I feel especially sorry that I have been living all around Roanoke for the past 30 years. I drive thru there almost daily and I had no idea Janice lived there and even had this business. We even went to a Roanoke church a number of years. Even thought most of us have lost touch with one another I still think we had very special years at Crestview and still think of them often as I am sure most of you do.
I live in, actually near Huntington, at the airport more precisely. We have a home with hangar and I keep my airplane here so we can make quick getaways. If any of you are in the area please give me a call or stop by.
All my best,
Keith Moser

Thanks, Keith, for doing the flowers. I am glad you did that for us all. I live in Indianapolis, IN (although I am currently working in Manassas, VA, for a year or so), but if I am ever up your way, I'll buy you dinner.
Blessings,
Jim Myers

Thanks Keith! Very thoughtful of you to do such Godly thing! I to live in Indiana. Kendallville, right off Rt#3. I am about 25 miles north of Fort Wayne. It is amazing how close you can live near someone, and never know it until it's too late. We are getting older and we need the class members to get together more often then 5 years. My Sister-in Law meets every 6 months or so fo dinner with her class mates to remernece on old times.

Thank you, Keith! I really wanted to go for the visitation but I am leaving shortly for the airport (or your home) for a trip to Florida. Janice (or Granny) was such fun and a good person. I, too, intended to contact several of the girls after I retired. Guess this is a wake-up call for all of us. Prayers for her family. RIP Janice!

Wonderful gesture, Keith. We were such a small class and very fortunate that we all got to know each other very well and be friends. We are very scattered everywhere across the United States and it is great to be able to stay in contact the way we are. We all remember Janice for the great person she was. JANE

Thanks Keith for sending the flowers on our behalf. That was a very thoughtful act of kindness.
Thanks to Becky for sending out Janice's obituary. It is obvious Janice touched a lot of lives in very positive ways.
As Jane has noted, even though we are scattered all around the US, it is great that we have the mechanism to stay in touch.

Thanks Keith for sending the flowers.... I think we all feel as you do. You are very sweet and considerate for thinking of Janice and her family. I do have fond memories of Janice, particularly when we were together at the band competitions, throughout the state of Ohio. My goodness....so many memories and just a few years ago! Ahmm(YIKES) We did have our days in the sun...did we not! :) Oh my goodness.. I had forgotten her nickname was "Granny".
Although we don't always get to spend much time together, I know how everyone felt about one another. Because we were such a small class, we were more like family than just classmates.
Not only was Janice a very kind individual, she had quite the sense of humor when you got her going. She will be missed.
Take care everyone...... Love, Becky |
