Janis will be greatly missed at Greenway Manor here in Spring Green. Janis was my friend and my frequent sparing partner while we enjoyed each others’ company. Janis spoke so often to me about her much loved family. She looked forward to visits with her sons on Mondays. Friday visits with daughter and granddaughter were always so special. Her picture wall helped her keep all her loved family feel closer. And easier for her to explain to me whom she was speaking about.We had hours of fun together. I will miss her greatly. I’m a volunteer but more so her friend!
