Virginia and family,
I was saddened to hear of your loss. I vividly remember Janis’ always happy attitude and wonderful smile in my classroom at QND. She was a joy to be around. I will pray that God gives you the strength you need in the days ahead, and that HE will fill your hearts and souls with only the great memories that you created, and shared with Janis. God Bless.
I went to high school with Janis and always remember her as funny and kind. So sorry to hear of her passing.
