    Memories from the girls (Caroline, Claire and Naomi) “Kind, caring, full of fun, motivated, selfless, brave, determined, humble, loyal, beautiful, gracious, matter of fact, mischievous, hilarious, wise”. There are not enough words to describe the qualities and characteristics of our wonderful mum: these are just a few. As mum’s three daughters, we enjoyed precious family time together but mum also provided opportunities for individual time with us, be that chats during car journeys, shopping trips, coffee dates or even over a cup of tea at home where she always wanted to hear about our day. We particularly remember our holidays together as a family. Mum loved the heat and we can still picture her head popping up as she moved slowly through the pool. The three of us have experienced difficult times in different ways over the years but mum and dad were a team and provided us with consistent support at these times. We are so grateful to have grown up witnessing the steadfast love between our parents. We saw it every day; God was at the centre of their relationship and they both directed us to Christ. Their love, guidance and prayers had a massive impact on our individual faiths. Day to day we loved playing games, doing jigsaws, one of mum’s favourites, and baking together. She was also great at proof reading our assignments and supporting the three of us in our studies. The last morning mum was at home Caroline was able to share her degree results with mum. And the last celebration we had as a family was the very last minute wedding of Claire and Andrew in our back garden just before lockdown. We cherish these memories and the photographs we have to look back over of this special day. Both Claire’s husband Andrew and Naomi’s boyfriend Michael are so thankful that they got to know and love mum. Mum tried her hardest to beat Andrew during games nights, and she taught Michael how to make the perfect cup of tea! To sum up, although death is the enemy, mum didn’t fear death. She trusted in Jesus who conquered death and lived her life knowing her ultimate destination was heaven. Mum was so special and she brought so much joy and happiness to us and to dad. We will miss her more than we can put into words, but we are comforted knowing that she has now been made perfect and is free from all sickness and suffering. Proverbs 31:25-29 “She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come. She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue. She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness. Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her: ‘Many women do noble things, but you surpass them all.’”

    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.

    Janice was my youth leader for a couple of years in the YF along with her husband, and she was such a kind and genuine person. She gave everything 100% and made coming there on a Friday evening such a laugh. Im so shocked to hear she has passed on, and I wish all of her family my thoughts and best wishes at this terrible time. I'll remember Janice with a smile... Exactly how she should be remembered.
