Jobie and Family, We are so sorry to hear the passing of your Mother, God be with you and your Family! Dale & Beverly Brown
To Jobie and Vickie (Janet’s children with whom I knew).. I just learned about Janet’s passing in 7-24-22. I was so shocked and heartbroken when I found out. Janet and Joe both were great people with whom I adored and respected a lot. I had moved away from Rocky Mount and was living in Washington, DC for over 20 years and I just moved back to Rocky Mount on 12-17-22. Again, sorry for your loss and my prayers go out to all of Janet’s family. Feel free to contact me at any time. 202-253-4776 Ronnie Richardson
