Many people knew mom by different names, Janice or Christy. But she was always the same sweet, yet spunky woman. Mom was a nurse's nurse through and through. No matter if she was sick or not, she always found teaching moments. She was that way not only through nursing, but as a wife and mother. We have learned many a lesson over the years. Momma always put others before herself. She was a family oriented woman who loved to travel. I remember summer days at the lake and Mom would have her beeper. She loved nursing and always wanted to make sure her family was provided for. She was a force of nature and a great spark is missing from the world. Momma we will look for your spark among the stars now.
