I am so sorry to hear about Ms. Janie passing away. I was attending my brother’s funeral in Florida and did not know about her leaving us.

Just know I am so sorry about her passing and just know she was the nicest person I have met and so sweet and kind to everyone.

She will be missed by everyone in Rich Square.

You have my heart felt sympathy for the loss of your mother and grandmother.
