There are not enough words to describe our beautiful sister Janie. She will be remembered as a beloved daughter, sister, wife, mother and G-Mom. She was a passionate pet lover and faithful to her parakeet Mr. Blue, cats Baby Girl and Baby and her late dog Chiquita. She had an amazing green thumb and could grow just about anything. Her “yard” was filled with colorful and fragrant plants and flowers such as jasmine, roses, cactuses and tropical plants. It was her private paradise. She had a great artistic talent with drawing and sewing. She could paint something and make it beautiful and colorful. She was an amazing seamstress and made her daughter’s clothes and elaborate Halloween costumes. She sewed her brother Benny’s eighth-grade promotion suit.
