It has been one week since the passing of my Mother-in-Law. I can attest that the atmosphere has changed tremendously. Janie was always full of life and brought the energy in any event she attended. She, indeed, was the rock of the family...she had a caring heart that could be felt without her ever having to say anything. She was the best Mother-in-Law that any son or daughter-in-law could ever hope for. She welcomed me into the Atkinson family and I promised her that I would always take care of her daughter as my wife. I will miss my Mother-in-Law more than words can express.

I take peace in knowing that she's in a better place; however, it still doesn't take away the pain. I must and I will stay strong for the woman I promised her I would take care of.

In addition, Bill needs the continued support from all family and friends as he begins a new journey without Janie by his side. I'm asking all of you to assist in making Bill's transition smooth...he needs our support more than ever...GOD BLESS...

Son-in-Law

No words can express how I feel as I have lost not only an aunt but I have lost my Best Friend. Aunt Janie and I shared so much in life and I went to her anytime of the day or night and she was there for me no matter what. I miss her already and can't imagine how life will be without her but I do know that God makes no mistakes and I will see her again. I thank God that I always told her how important she is to me and my son Jalen whom she helped me care for from when he was 6 weeks old to now. I will never forget such a WONDERFUL WOMAN.....MY ANGEL-YES JESUS LOVES ME..........
