Steve,
I am so sorry to hear about your mother. What a wonderful, hardworking, sincere soul. I truely admired Janice. Such a wonderful role model. Everyone of her children reflect her hard working ethics.

Steve -
We just learned of your Mom's passing today. Your Mom held a special place in our heart staying in touch with the family AND always entertaining our Mom. Continue to follow your Mom's guidance in your heart. It will keep her memories alive and continue to spread her kindness. She can now catch up with Mom in their eternal life. God Bless.
Our deepest sympathies Doug & Shannon. Also the rest of the family.
My deepest sympathies to the entire family. Jancie was a strong, brave, caring, loving, and all around wonderful lady! She always but others before herself. I was very blessed to have know such a wonderful person. God did receive another angel and has many great plans for her! I will always love and remember you. I do wish the family the best of wishes.
Deaa Mathews Family: It breaks our hearts when death separates us from the ones we love no matter how young or old they happen to be. We are reminded in the Bible that God sees our pain and sorrow and has promised that soon death will be no more.(Revelation 21:4) He will heal our broken hearts by resurrecting our precious loved ones to life again.(John 5:28,29) I hope in the days ahead as you reflect on the life of JanicJanice, and the beautiful memories left behind, that you will also find comfort in God's promises to us for the near future. I am so sorry for your loss.
My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. I'll never forget your mom.
Janice was a kind and generous person who always cared for others. May the angels care for her as she cared for all of us. God bless.
Our hearts go out to Steve, Tonya and the rest of the family. I had the priviledge of growing up being a neighbor to Janice, Steve and the family and my Dad (Larry) is still a neighbor. Janice was always a loving person with a big heart to help others. My late Mother (Evelyn) treasured her friendship with Janice. All that knew Janice couldn't help but love her. We will miss her.
Steve, Doug Jr. , Amanda, Chris, Anthony and family,
I have so many great memories or your mom/grandma. She always made me laugh and then many times we cried together. I so clearly remember coming to your house, sitting at the table and couldn't believe with all you kiddos, the house was spotless! She ran a tight ship!!! I can't think of anything she cared more about that her kids and grandkids. I know she will be missed greatly, but we all know Janice is in heaven greeting her with open arms and probably saying something like, where the "H" have you been?
Steve, I saw you a couple of weeks ago at Harres Furniture buying a chair for your mom so she could be comfortable upon her returning home from the hospital. I saw the pain in your eyes and heartache in your voice. Hang in there buddy...Jerry Landgraf will take care of her:)
Mrs. Mathews was a wonderful woman, devoted to her family and an inspiration to those who knew her. She will not be forgotten. Deepest sympathy to all her loving relatives, with a special hug to Chris, Anthony, Amanda and Kenny.
