To the Janie Blackwell Harris family. So sorry to learn of the death of Janie. I was in hospital during all this time for 22 days and just learned of her death today. So many fond memories of Janie on our Bus Trips to many locations. She was always so cheerful and we never had a dull moment. Our deepest sympathy and prayers to all.

Dear Billy and Bobby,
I was sad to read in the Durham paper about Janie's death and I wanted to send my condolences to both of you and to your family. She was such a sweet lady. My mother, who died in 1988, thought the world of her and they were good friends. You are in my prayers at this time.

Hello Bobby & family.  Janie was an inspiration of love and kindness. My husband and I often visited with her at her home in Oxford when we lived in Stem.  I will always remember those special times. She was present at my husband's funeral two years ago......such a thoughtful person, indeed.  Due to a prior committment, I will not be able to attend her funeral. Love & Prayers
