Message: My deepest sympathy to Janice's family. She was the other girl in our little graduating class of Regent High School '55. Our little group has dwindled to three. It is so hard to believe that we are of the age that these things begin to happen. We had some good times during our high school years and the memories linger. Again, my sympathy to the family.
