Jim and Janice were married for over 25 years before he died on 19 September 2010. According to a Facebook post from Janice, her husband died of cancer. When her husband was on the deathbed, Janice mentioned that he was her best friend and the love of her life.

In their 25 years of married life, Janice and Jim had two daughters, Allison and Jennifer. It was possible that they also had a son but we could not find any hard evidence for that. Also, we do not know much about the known daughters, except that Allison graduated from college in 2016.

Apart from their two daughters, Janice and her husband were also once on their way to adopt June’s daughter Anna Shannon (aka Chickadee). At that time, June was going through some tough times and she approached her brother, Jim, and her sister-in-law, Janice, for the adoption.

The process was initiated, but could not conclude because June never officially gave up her parental rights. Anna was 15 years of age at that time.

Anyway, both of my daughters are grown up now. She also had a dog she lived with but he died recently, on 21 February 2021.
