To Hoover, Patricia, Warren, Annette & Janette: Our dearly beloved Janie Ferrell will always be in our hearts. As the second sister-in-law in the Tolbert family, my husband John was the middle brother to Janie. My children, Tracie and Taunja (deceased) were regular summer visitors to the Lyles home and they always looked forward to visiting their Aunt Janie and her family. We can say that “LOVE” was something Janie had for everyone. Her open arms and giving spirit were comforts that will always be cherished. Family was very important to Janie, and will continue to be important to us all. Our prayers for the Lyles family, extended relatives and close friends, are for strength and comfort. Remember that your mother’s love is like a light that will never dim, it will glow eternally. Grace & Peace, Julia Wilson & Tracie Isaac (Rochester, NY)
