I met Janice at University of Ulster Jordanstown where she studied Physiotherapy. As we got to know each other our friendship developed and we started going out on 9th Feb 1984 which was the start of a long and very happy relationship. I was so proud that she wanted to be with me and could hardly believe it when she agreed to marry me. We were married for 32 years and worked together as a team through 'thick and thin'. We were blessed with three beautiful daughters.
After university she worked as a chartered physiotherapist in Larne, the Belfast City Hospital Respiratory Department, Wallace Avenue Lisburn caring for people with learning disabilities, Lagan Valley Hospital Moving and Handling Department and the SE Trust Condition Management Programme. Janice built wonderful relationships with her patients and colleagues everywhere she worked and was known for her care, concern, and love for helping others. She was known by many colleagues as ‘lovely Janice’.
Janice loved working with young people and was actively involved in youth work at Glenavy youth club, Carrickfergus Baptist Church and Lisburn Baptist Church. When we moved to Christ Church Belfast, Janice made it her mission to get to know as many people as possible (her goal for each Sunday was to speak to 3 new people - usually resulting in a late Sunday lunch). She was involved in the Missional Community outreach in Finaghy and formed good friendships in our home group.
Janice loved deeply and her daily strength was God given. She was a protector and when required fought fiercely for her family.
Her Cancer diagnosis came as a shock, but she met every challenge in her own way with her beautiful smile and wonderful sense of humour and accepted both the diagnosis and treatment with grace and dignity. She never complained, never gave up, but just kept going and knew that God’s grace would sustain her each day. Her love for others shone through to the end, and even in her last couple of weeks her main concern was for me and the girls.
