Janie, I'm sorry to hear of your passing. May you RIP. My heart and condolences goes out to your Mom (Irene), Joey, Sharon, Betty Ann and the rest of your family. I recall when I first met you through your brother Joey so many years ago and we all went out partying ( Joey, myself, Sharon and you ) at The Twenty Fifth Hour (Woodlands). You were always full of life, bubbly and your smile was uplifting. Wish, I could have been there to see you one last time to say goodbye in person. You will be missed by all who came across your path and I know you be looking over all of us as our Guardian Angel. God Bless

I had the privilege of working with Jane for many years. Over those years we grew such a tight friendship with each other. She was full of love, kindness, and passion. She loved her family more than anything and would make you feel like you were part of it at the same time. She was loved by so many. My heart has been heavy since all this has happened. My deepest condolences. She will be missed by so many.
