So sorry to see this. Always enjoyed seeing her. She was so helpful wherever ske worked. We originally knew her from A&T in Jamestown then we would see her in Bismarck and then lastly in Fargo at Fleet Farm. She always was friendly and had a smile on her face.
Janis will be missed. She was a second mom to me and we had good conversations. May you just keep your memories of her close and always remember that she will always be with you.
