Memories & Candles
We are so sorry for your loss. My children and grandchildren all were patients at Winchester
pediatrics for the last forty years. Everyone loved Janice and her loving and patient way she dealt with nervous children. Her personality was always a smile and treated my family with such kindness. Our prayers and thoughts with all of you

My heart is broken and torn apart. I loved my Janice like a sister. We met in kindergarten and became as close as sisters could ever be. I was her jester and she was my cheerleader. We told each other how much we loved each other over these past three months and as I write this with tears in my eyes, I need to tell you I love you, and will miss you every day...until we meet again

My mom was very good friends with her and she also cared about me as well. Rest in peace Janice Helein.

Janice was very popular in high school for good cause. She was pretty, a cheerleader and very outgoing. What I'll always remember about her, though, was that he popularity never went to her head. She was genuinely nice person, to everyone. That never changed over the years. It was probably 50 years since I saw her and when I did she greeted me like it was only a few days. I'm so sorry.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Helein family during this time. We have so many fond memories of Janice's welcoming smile and demeanor as well as the love and pride that she always showed for her dear family and friends. May the memories of all of the wonderful times you've shared through the years comfort you now.

Dear Helein Family,
Your mother was one of the great ones. She was kind, compassionate and funny. I will miss our regular catch-ups when I brought my kids to the doctor's office. I am sure she and I spent more time chatting about our families than anything else during those appointments. She was so so very proud of her children and grandchildren. Sending love and prayers to you all.
