Janu was a very fun loving, warm, vibrant, kind hearted and an ambitious person. She was a true fighter who always saw the positive side of things and fought a brave battle with cancer for the last 4 years. She was known amongst her friends for her ‘sense of style’, was passionate about dance, and loved to travel. She leaves behind a lasting imprint on all her friends and family that got to know her, one that we shall cherish forever.
