MILLS, Janice Thomson, 62, beloved daughter, wife, mother, grandmother, sister, teacher, and accomplished musician, passed away Monday, November 11, after a tragic fall at the University of Miami Maurice Gusman Concert Hall prior Read Obituary
I read about this terrible accident when it happened, then came across it again at random and read the obituary. When I saw the names June, Joanne and Robert I realized that you are the family that lived behind us when we were very young in Coral Gables. We were about 3-5 and 5-7, my sister and I, and it was 1966-1969. You had a big slide and you let us play in your yard, and all three of you somewhat older girls were so kind and playful to us - so much that I remember you to this day. I remember vividly one day all three of you girls were parading around the back yard holding Bobby up in your outstretched arms and chanting "Bobby, baby, Bobby baby" like a little parade. We moved to Kendall and later Miami Heights in 1969 but my sister and I always remembered you folks fondly. Sadly, I also lost my big sister, to cancer a while back. I am so sorry for your loss. - Michael (and Sydna)
Janice was literally one of the fun ones. Prayers to the entire Thomson family. So sad! 🙏💔
To the dear Thomson family,
You have been on my mind and my heart so much and I have prayed many times for you after hearing the news of Janice’s passing. It is at a time like this that God’s comfort and His peace that passes all understanding point us to His promises in Christ Jesus and a hope that is solidly grounded in truth. Joe and I remember Janice well from Granada and we had the pleasure accompanied by Dorothy and Jack to attend a concert at the University of Miami to watch her perform. It was such a lovely evening. We love your family and extend our heartfelt condolences. ❤️ Pat & Joe Breedon
My childhood friend from West Lab Elementary School. Always so dear. Such a sweet soul . Jann always would comment on facebook to posts I would post and I will surely miss her sweetness and kind comments. Love her dearly and know she will be so missed. Sending love and condolences to all of her amazing family and friends. Janice, you are so missed. YOU were and still are such an inspirational soul. Love you dearly, Debbie
May you RIP my friend. You will be missed.
I only knew Janice as a musician and member of the Greater Miami Symphonic Band. When I heard her solo on “Russian Christmas” I along with others came to know her soul, it was mesmerizing and heavenly! Matter can not be destroyed, only changed and the smallest of particles make up the whole and there in lies the soul. And what a wonderful soul she has sincerely to be appreciated and missed.
May the peace of God guard you and our God of peace direct you in the coming days. I followed Janice on Facebook with much interest because your family is so special to Suzanne and me.
My condolences to the Thomson family and Steven Gale who made Janice so happy and full of life. Anyone who could get that girl on the back of a motorcycle and in a camper is a special guy. Words cannot describe the emptiness I feel knowing what a loss to her family, friends, alumni of Gables High and the Coral Gables community will be. A beautiful, gracious, eloquent and talented person loved by so many. She will be missed by many.
