Even though Janie is no longer with us in body, the love, lessons, and light she shared will remain in our hearts—quietly shaping our days, reminding us to be gentle, to be grateful, and to hold one another close.

In place of floral arrangements, the family respectfully asks for plants/flowers that will live on, allowing us to celebrate her life through their lasting beauty and also as a remembrance of the gardening hobby she enjoyed so much.

John 14:1-3 “Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.”

The family of Janie would like to express our heartfelt gratitude for your comforting messages, beautiful tributes, and the many acts of kindness shown during this time. Your support has meant so much to us.

May God bless you.
