The overwhelming success of her music served as a testament to Janice’s enduring talent and resilience in the face of adversity. Despite her untimely passing, Janice’s legacy lives on through her music, with plans for posthumous releases as per her wishes.
Her indomitable spirit and message of self-love and gentleness continue to resonate, leaving an indelible mark on those who knew and admired her.
