To the Briones and Suarez family:
It seems not to long ago that we (Janie Suarez, Janie Perez, Elida Almanza, Mary Helen Hernandez and a few more )sat together for lunch at Edgewood Hi. Time flys by but memories linger on. I remember Janie as a sweet loving and giving person. I, in later years when I met my husband Rudy, got to know more about Janie from him as he also knew her and her family. He remembers her as one of the nicest person he has ever met. I could not have agreed more. Our condolences for the family. For Janie: Dio tienes un rinconcito en el cielo para ti.

To the Briones and Suarez families:
I am writing to express how sorry we are for your loss. My husband and I will miss Janie, we hold her dearly in our memories. It was through Janie that my husband, Alex and I met. He is a friend from Edgewood HS and she became my good friend at Kelly Air Force Locators. We value her friendship, kindness and thoughtfulness. We are sorry that we all became so busy with our daily life with our families that we did not visit as we should have. We will miss her and we will hold Janie's memory deep within our hearts. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. With love and sympathy. Alex and Nellie (Martinez) Salaiz

Uncle Pelon, BeBe & Tina,
We're soooo sorry that Aunt Janie is no longer with us in body, however, she'll live long in each of us that encountered her soft & warm heart. I always remember my little aunt controlling my big uncle. She was very soft spoken and had a good sense of humor. I know that my father, Uncle Chito, Grandma & Granpa and of course her parents will be at the gates to greet her so that she can join them in heaven. Please find comfort in knowing that she is with a lot of our families and that she is now with our lord savior Jesus Christ. From the bottom of our hearts you have our dearest sympathy. If you all need anything, we will be here for you.
We love you all,
Pablo, Diana, Zachary & Tytus.
God Bless you Aunt Janie! We love you and will miss you! Say hello to my dad!
