Personal note from Janice's Family

In Loving Memory of Janice Marie Cottrill

Though our hearts are heavy with sorrow at the passing of our beloved Janice, we find comfort in the promises of our Lord Jesus Christ. Her life was a testament to grace, kindness, and faith—a light that reflected God's love in everything she did.

While we mourn her absence, we do not grieve as those without hope. As it is written in 1 Thessalonians 4:14, "For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him." We hold fast to the truth that Janice is now at peace, embraced in the eternal love of her Savior.

Though we feel the ache of loss, we will remember Janice with joy—for her laughter, her compassion, her unwavering faith, and the many lives she touched. Her memory will remain with us as a blessing, and her legacy will continue in the love we share with one another.

Until we meet again, we entrust Janice to God's everlasting care.
