Janice Carole Ladd, of Phoenix, NY, died in her home, at her garden with her family at her side.  She is dearly loved and will be in the hearts and memories of her family forever.

When first we met, a canvas, a portrait painted; our plans, our ideas, your art
 

“How do I paint you?”

“Paint us together, hand in hand, as we walk toward a distant sunset”
 

Our life, a mosaic of dancing colors, framing our journey between art and nature

An orchestra plays the words of our talks, let us dance, two friends, together
 

When last we met, I looked into your eyes…

Our portrait complete, once more you showed me, our plans, our ideas, your art
 

And though my heart aches, I am at peace, your pain gone, memories my companion

A smile, a tear, I am comforted by my thoughts 
 

When last we met, I looked into your eyes…
