I have known Janie since she was a young girl. At no time since I have known her have I seen her less than gracious and warm. She always welcomed me with a big ol' smile that would light up the room. I know the love her family had for her, and know the terrible hole she will leave in her sister's heart. She walks with Jesus now.

I'm so sorry about the loss of Janie. I met her many many years ago at Ingram Blvd. Baptist Church. She had an infectious smile, and a personality that was absolutely beautiful. Always had something sweet to say to me, when we saw one another. Janie will truly be missed by many people who knew her and loved her. My prayers are with each one of you! I pray that GOD will cradle each one of you and give you the comfort that only our HEAVENLY FATHER can give during this very sad time in your life.

Our hearts are so saddened by the lose of this sweet person. We have known Janie for a lot of years now and she always remained
the same. She had a kindness about her that not many people
have. Our hearts were always touched when she sang at church
because she sang with so much emotion and filled with the spirit.
I know she is in a great place, no more pain and that is a blessing.
She will be missed by all that knew her. To the family we will
continue to pray for you guys.

I have known Janie for around forty years. We worked together at Napa-Genuine parts and she helped me through a very difficult time in my life. Any time I saw her she was always trying to catch up with how my life was going. She will be so missed. Such a great person. May God provide the peace and understanding that only he can give to her loved ones.
