Janis inspired so many in her lifetime. As an early childhood educator, she taught music, and crocheted finger puppets for all her students. Janis played guitar and sang with 'Friends Forever'.

Janis was so loving, kind, intelligent, and generous. She was absolutely beautiful, and a treasure to her family, and friends. The leader of the band is sorely missed.
