I am so saddened to hear that Janice has left us to spend her forever future in a much best place. My condolences to Richard. I know he and Janice enjoyed traveling and loved all their photography of lighthouses.
My heart is sad. Janice was far too young to leave us so soon.

Kay Marie was loved for the sweetheart she was. We will always remember her smile, her laugh and her good nature.
David and Terri Oliver
On behalf of the Oliver family, we are very sorry for your loss. Kay Marie was our favorite babysitter to the Oliver boys on Westdale Place! She used to let us stay up late and watch “Dr. Shock”!! We would torment her with the question “Who is your boyfriend? And she would always answer: “Elmer Fudd!” She once took the oldest three brothers into Philadelphia on the train to see the movie “Scrooge” in 1970. This was one of our favorite childhood memories – first time we ever went into “the big city!”
Please know that we are praying for your family. May God grant you His Peace and Comfort at this time.
