Janice was a great friend. I knew her through my work at Mountain States Health Alliance while Dr. Stanton was a member of our Board. Janice was a dedicated and loyal employee of ETSU and had a high degree of integrity. She was a true professional and a beautiful lady, inside and out! I´ll miss her!

The world lost a great lady late last week. Aunt Janice was an example of goodness and decency. She never missed a game of her great nieces and nephews. Holidays won´t be the same at 914 Millercrest. I can´t stand to think about upcoming Memorial Day because Janice won´t be there. I do smile when I think of Aunt Janice and her love for the Braves, Vols and Bucs! I will miss you and and I love you Janice.

I have great and lasting memories of my friend Janice. I guess the first memory is of Janice sitting with me on our porch steps after my dad passed away suddenly from a heart attack when he was 47. Janice lost her dad a few years before when he was in his 30´s. This was in 1957and we were Juniors at Science Hill High School. I´ll never forget that memory of her sitting with me sharing a lose we were too young to understand, both crying and smiling as we thought about our dads. This is a good example of how Janice lived her life. At that time I don´t think Janice even knew what a football was but later in her life she became the greatest Tennessee football fan alive. Janice worked at ETSU as an administrative aid to the then President of East Tennessee University for many, many years. We remained friends and saw each other every chance we had whenever I came to visit Johnson City. We had a group from out Sunday School class at First Presbyterian Church that still got together every few years. I loved her and will always remember her laugh..I will miss her
