Just now found out about Ms. Janey passing, I have had a many a conversation with her. To Derrick and family, I know it is hard, the passing of a wife, mom, grandmom and friend is a hard thing to swallow. I know, has you do, that our sister is in a far better place and seeing the glory of her Savior and friend. Heaven is real and Ms. Janey is bathing in the light and glory of Jesus. I am praying that the Lord will grant you the peace of the ages, the grace to know it is ok to mourn and weep about the one lost, to cry out to Him and know that He is there right beside you, always has been and always will be, just as He was when Ms. Janey went to her true home. I thank God for the time He allowed me to know her.
May your family have Peace, Love, Happiness, Forgiveness and Grace. Miss all of you.

My dear friend and co-worker. Loved spending time with Janey, Joyce Tullos and brother Larry at CHBC. Janey would do anything you asked of her. She loved to help others. Janey and Derrick loved each other deeply and served together at CHBC. She will be missed by so many that loved her. Derrick, you have been A loving caregiver for several years. I know you will be lost for a while without her. Just remember, God is walking by your side. Lean on Him and allow yourself to grieve this devastating loss. Love on those grandkids and remember how much Janey loved them.
Love in Christ

Janey was a very special sweet and beautiful person. Being sisters we were very close and I miss her terribly. I always want to pick up the phone and call her. But I know she is in a better place and happy being with mother and other siblings that have passed before her. God bless her family and husband
