So very sorry to hear that Janie had passed away. Known her from our childhood, growing up in Fountain Inn.. For many years, our families were members at Fairview St. Baptist Church. Spent may hours and days camping and fishing with her brother Ken and Nellie Cannon. Jani was a very sweet and lovely lady. I know that she will be missed here on this earth, but is now rejoicing with her loved ones that have gone on. Bless each of the remaining family. May Gods loving arms wrap around you and comfort you in the trying days ahead.. My love to you all . Your friend in Christ. Ray B
