providing them with unwavering support, guidance, and the values that would shape
their own lives. She took pride in their accomplishments and found joy in the love and
that bound their family together. Janie’s greatest joy came from her role as a mother.

spirituality and desire to spread God's love guided her actions, and she was a shining

admiration of her colleagues and the medical community.
