I had the pleasure of knowing Jianny as her hair stylist for the past 3 years. We had the best conversations during our many appointments...she led such an interesting life and I always loved hearing her talk about growing up all over the world, her travels, her family and beloved grandchildren and her flowers. News of her passing came as such a shock to me and my staff, and she will be greatly missed. Much love and sympathy to her sons, daughters-in-law and grandchildren...may your memories comfort you at this difficult time. Rest peacefully, my friend.
