I was saddened to learn of the passing of Janis. She was such a nice lady. Jan was a fixture at the weekly Holy Spirit Church Bingo games, and really seemed to enjoy herself when she attended. She willingly supported other fund-raisers that our Church sponsored as well. She will be missed by all who knew her. May Janis Have Blessed Repose And Eternal Memory.
