Janie, you will FOREVER be loved and definitely missed. You've ALWAYS been like a mother to me and never allowed me to go without. My mom always felt that you was tryna take me away from her. When I would call you and say, "Ma", your favorite line would be, "Whew Chile wha'cha want? Nah, just kidding. Talk to me Kimo". I've never thought that I wouldn't be able to physically talk to you this soon. 🥲🥲. I love you ma and rest easy. Spread our love to the gang up there. 🥰🥰🥰

Miss Janie had my back when I gave birth to my beautiful daughter. She was 100% supportive ! She gave me a baby shower that i had not planned to receive along with my mom and family. She asked if she could be My Daughter's godmother and I said absolutely! I am tremendously grateful to have been able to share that experience with her and she definitely was a true friend of mine and my sister, Raven's. When we were around her, it was nothing but laughter, and good vibes! She will always live in my heart forever.

Princess

Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
