I enjoyed meeting Janis at the Women´s Bible study and going to lunch after. Sometimes it was just the two of us and we visited and shared things about our grandchildren. 15 between the two of us.
Janis was truly a woman of great faith and had a heart of gold for others, especially her family. She loved the Lord and showed it in her actions. I will always remember that about her.
Janis and I loved to share our grandson´s baseball achievements. She was so good to text or call me to see how they did in a game. We shared our out of town travels to watch games all season.
Janis was an inspiration and amazed me with all that she could do in a single day, despite her health issues.
I already miss her sweet smile and her waving to me across the aisle at church.
The joy I have is that she is free of pain and praising her Savior now. I will see her again!
