I’m so sorry to hear the passing of Ms. Janie! I always loved her, she was always so kind and loving and respectful to me! She had a voice of an angel, always enjoyed hearing her sing! Lisa and all the family, if I had known in time I would have been there at the service. Praying for strength today and the days ahead! Love to you all,

MS. Janie truly was a blessing to me. Always an encouragement and hug to share . Her family has always gone above and beyond and that comes from strong roots (their mom) and the voice of an Angel. May you rest in love..

Ms. Janie was such a wonderful human. I have known her for almost 40 years and she was nothing but kind to me and my family. She had a silly sense of humor and was always fun to be around. My deepest condolences to the family. Such a sad day for them and a loss for anyone who was able to know such a fine woman. Prayers for you all! ðŸ™ðŸ»ðŸ™ðŸ»ðŸ™ðŸ»ðŸ™ðŸ»ðŸ™ðŸ»
