Janiece Crovella accepting her Four Diamonds Award....
that I nominated her for :)
January 2009

Janiece Crovella was our Child Life Specialist for all eight years of Jed's treatment. She has been a constant source of support since we walked into clinic on May 25th 2002.
She passed away on Friday, peacefully with her family and friends by her side. A lovely woman, a terrific friend and a beautiful soul.
I have two main thoughts when I think of her passing. First, is of Bob, her wonderful husband. She was worried about him and his ability to deal with her being sick and along with Bob, their children and grandchildren. I know the missing must be horrendous for them all. Second is the amazing reception she must have received when she arrived in heaven. I wish we all could have witnessed it. I know it had to have been crazy with all those kids welcoming her. Very few people will ever receive a welcome like the one I know she received.
Janiece is another one of the wonderful gifts Jed gave to me and I am forever grateful to have known her. A woman of strength and dedication with a sense of humor and a bit of sarcasm, a deep love for the kids in clinic and an always present source of support for the parents. She is truly loved and will be greatly missed.
The only bright spot in this is a very selfish one....I know Jed was so happy to see her.

Jeddie, take good care of Janiece. I am missing you so so much. Everyday is harder than the day before. Everyday I miss you more than the day before.....but everyday down is a day closer to being with you.
Mommy Loves you...
