JANICE MARGARET PETKER

Janice Petker arrived on September 20, 1971 as a be'lated liNle bundle of joy. The imperfect'ion of the human body became apparent when she required surgery the third day a,f,ter bir'th. God graC'ious'ly spared her l'ite and Janice stole herself into the hearts of those who ,loved and cared for her. On September 10, 1972 she was admi-tted to the hospital for what was thought to be a brief stay for cOlfreoti-ve surgery. However, God in His foresig'hlt saw tit to take her home. A1iter a year and eight days o'f life here on earth she was transplanted as a rosebud iMo the heavenly garden on September 28, 1972. She leaves to mourn, her parents, Corny and M ary Petker, one sister and four brothers, as weH as a host of rellatives and friends.
