An astute Ancestry.com person alerted me to Jannie's obituary in the newspaper. She and my dad, who just passed away last year, were 3rd cousins, but never met. Jannie's gr-gr grandfather was Ransford Smith and my dad was Joseph Smith. Very sorry for your loss but she sounds like a wonderful person and she had a good life. I feel the same about my father.

Jannie was one of the kindest people I have ever met. She will be missed. I pray for peace and comfort for her family and friends.

Without a doubt, Jannie was the classiest woman we've ever known. She always seemed to have a smile on her face, a positive attitude and when you spoke with her she truly listened. This world has lost a gracious woman, but Heaven has received a perfect angel. We hope you and Leon are dancin' in the streets of gold!! We'll miss you, sweet lady...

Have missed your smile. It not only warmed my heart each time I saw you, but it took away whatever burden I carried at the time. You helped me get centered by reminding me that if I let Jesus live in my heart, everything would work out for good. That's what your smile did for me. Thank you Jannie.

Jannie was a super sweet, loving Christian woman whom I was privileged to work with for many years at Memorial Hermann Memorial City Labor and Delivery. Even though I haven't seen her in several years, I thought of her often, especially at Christmas as I put the ornaments she made my sons on the tree. I pray for peace and comfort to the family and rest assured she is in heaven with our Lord and reunited with Mr. Leon.
