I'm so sorry for the passing of Janie. I had a wise friend say ,"someone is never lost if you know where they are." I know you know Janie's singing with the angels. I love your family and pray God's sweet peace and strength will flood over you.

Mrs Janie was a precious soul & the Love she had for our Lord & Savior shined thru her. I will forever hold a special place in my heart for her & never forget when I was 6 yrs old & my mother got sick after the birth of my brother & she had two surgeries Mrs Janie along with Mrs Betty D took the utmost of care of her while my dad was working. She always reached out to anyone in need & when you were in her presence you felt her pure inner & outer beauty. She was a precious jewel. I'm so thankful mom & I had the opportunity to talk with her just three weeks ago. My prayers are with Mr Bobby & Paigh & Bubba & family. May God continue to give you comfort & peace in the coming days.

Much Love,
