Dear Sherry Laine, Amanda and Families,
God gained another angel when Janie left this earth to be at his side in heaven. I was truly blessed to have known her and share the sunshine she spread every day of her life. My love and prayer to all.

Sheri Lane-Amanda and family. We are so sad of the passing of Aunt Janie but we know she would not be back here on earth for anything! We are also sad that we cannot be with you during this time. Too many miles and too many circumstances prevent us from traveling. Aunt Janie was a ray of sunshine everytime you were around her. She loved all her family with all her heart . Aunt Janie we love you.....and don't you forget it!!! Richard and Janice Terrell
