Like anyone who was privileged to have known Janis, I am finding it hard to come to terms with the loss of my very dear friend. Our friendship goes back 50 years to when we both worked at Reliance Systems in Wellingborough. I deeply regret that geography meant that we didn't see much of each other in recent years. But we kept in touch and I will always savour the memory of her warmth, her open, easy going nature, her sense of fun and her devotion to her beloved family. RIP lovely friend.
