Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers and that you can contact me at any time for love and support. I remember Janie as happy and joyful all of the time.

I had the honor of working with you a few years ago at Soprano's. You had such a great heart and would help anyone rather if it was a talk or a shoulder to lean on,your heart and ur arms were always open. God gained his self a beautiful soul and a woman with a heart of gold. He truly is blessed to have you as an angel. Praying that your husband and children find the peace that they need to move on!

Janie was always so very sweet and caring. Her laugh would always make me laugh. I could hear her all through the store when she was there. She would liven the Deli up when she was there. Such a sweet person. I pray that the family receives peace and grace at this sorrowful time in their live. She will be missed.

Janie , Heaven certainly has a beautiful angel , your personality lit up any room you entered ! You took my daughter and put her under your wing given her the inspiration to want to continue her education as a pastry chef . She was so inspired by your compassion decorating cakes . I know you will always be her guardian angel as she enrolls in culinary school . Thank you for believing in her skills and ambition . When Whitney told me about your nose piercing I knew the two of you had a special bond . She will always love you and depend on you to watch over her throughout her life ! God Bless you Janie , rest peacefly in the loving arms of The Lord !
