Stan, We were so sad to hear the passing of Mrs. Janie. Praying for You and the family during this very difficult time.
Mrs. Janie was a wonderful Christian and mother. What a wonderful legacy she leaves with the families of Don, Stan and her Catalano family and the influence she had in the lives of her grandchildren and great grandchildren. My deepest sympathy to each of you.
How I have and will continue to miss precious Janie. She is of course better off with her beloved Savior, Jesus. However those of us who knew and loved her grieve her loss. My condolences and prayers to you loved ones, especially Don and Dolly who I know.
