"As a former employee at Hillcrest I wanted to share with people all the joy and love that she brought to Hillcrest. Everyone that met Janis fell in love with her. She had a smile that melted your heart and even though she couldn?t talk she could communicate what she liked and disliked pretty easily. The girls and staff enjoyed her very much. I know they will miss her a lot and I could only pray that I would have a brother as devoted as Charles. It was an honor and pleasure to serve both of them while I worked there. Sandy Conn"
In loving memory of
Janis M. Shrader
