Worked with Janie on 3rd St in little Rock. We worked at the PPC, at the time under John Hill.
Beautiful lady. Went to a few plays together, and ate lunch together.
I am certain her family will miss her..

I'm so very sorry to learn of Janie's passing; such a sweet, kind lady. My 4 legged Buddy and I enjoyed our visits when Janie was sitting on her side porch. She loved having hidden treats for Buddy and he loved finding those treats. My condolences to the family.

We all grew to love Jane in our Sunday School class at Geyer Springs First Baptist Church. She had a quiet demeanor and a lady of class. We will certainly miss her. Her family was very gracious each time we visited. Looking forward to joining her in our heavenly home someday. Prayers for peace and comfort for her family. 💛ðŸ™ðŸ’›
