Garland, David and I send our love and thoughts at this difficult time. It is not easy to say these earthly goodbyes because we are human. But we have hope! Know we will be praying as you go through these challenging days.
I remember her from 1st Assembly of God in Front Royal. I had her son Craig in my Sunday school Nursery class along with Pearl. I also remember her husband as our Song leader for years. She was so sweet along with her family. Praying for Greg and the rest of their Family. I got married and moved to Florida.

My father Douglas Riffey Sr. passed away in 1950. My mother Charlotte McILwee Riffey was unable to care for me at that time so I lived with her aunt Vallie Wynkoop and family on their farm on the slope of the Little North Mountain near Mt Olive. I have fond memories of Janice; her parents, brothers and sisters and the loving care they extended to me. Over the years I have maintained contact with Janice and am sadden to hear of her passing. She was a fine woman and I extend sincere condolences to Garland and family.
Thank you for the kind words about my Mom (Janice Elliott). She thought a lot of you and always talked about you. She about calling you often but her memory left her. She battled Lewy Bodies Dementia and the last eight months she went down fast. She dealt with pain the majority of her life but never complained. We miss mom but we know she is not suffering anymore. She is rejoicing in Heaven! Dad is having a hard time, keep him in your prayers.
Garland and family our hearts and prayers are with you. Pat Campbell Foltz
