Janis was one of the nicest people I have ever meet., She was quiet but you recognized her love for the LORD by just talking to her. I got to talk to her when she came by the Dairy Freeze to get food for her family. She loved her family so very much and was proud of them in so many ways. Janis wanted to make a difference in the kids lives she taught . I know without a doubt she did. She always asked about my nephew Jason's family. Heaven gain a beautiful angel she will be missed. I will be praying now and the days to come for the Williams, Madden family.
