Nadine.
So sorry for the loss of your Mother. It isn't easy I know. My mother taught me so much good things that became a part of me as I am sure was the same as with you. Talk with her often; she is still there by your side in spirit. Peace will come as you seek it. May God bless you and rain down blessings upon you and your family at this tuff time.

Tom, to you and your family. May she rest in peace.

Janna was an awesome lady. She was always a faithful neighbor and committed to her family. When she moved from America Beauty Drive, I not only lost a walking partner but a friend. We talked about keeping in touch but that didn't happen.
Janna is now at peace and with our Lord. God bless her family during this time.


- Eve Martinez

I'm so sorry for your loss, I loved aunt Janna . I have some good memories. I pray for all of you to feel peace and comfort knowing she's with her one true love. And she and your father can watch over you together. I send hugs and kisses with lots of love.

Aunt Jana I will miss you always. Your love and kindness will forever live in my heart. I remember staying at your house when I was kid and you and mom would let me sleep on the couch and stay up way past my bed time. I loved it, you and her playing cards and laughing half the night. I know you loved my mom, she sure loved you too. Some day we will be at one table again. I'm looking forward to that. RIP sweet lady
