Mrs. Ezell was my 4th grade teacher at Jenks. She was one of my favorites. She was a patient and sweet lady, who always had a hug & kind word when you needed it. I'm very sorry for your loss.

Jim, I was shocked and saddened to learn of Janie's death. She was so full of life and kindness and such a wonderful cook and homemaker. I am sure she enriched the lives of all who knew her. I know she did mine. I missed playing bridge with you guys when we quit. Lynne and Jerry and Georgene and I would like to visit when things settle down a bit. Such a terrible blow to you and your family I know. I am so very sorry.

Jim and Family, I am so saddened to hear of Janie's passing. She was always laughing and having a good time at our monthly Bunco parties. Jim, you always came in and took our group picture at the Christmas Bunco party which Janie always hosted. She had a beautiful soul and her lively spirit will be missed. Her Bunco ladies loved her very much.

Hi James. I was saddened to read Janie’s name in the paper today. Please accept my condolences. It was a long time ago the last time I saw you guys. I left Rush Springs in 1959 when I joined the army for three years and then to college after I was discharged. I remember you let me ride your Cushman motor scooter. I also remember helping you put some kind of blocks on the back axle to lower the rear of the car I believe was the purpose. It was a 50 Chevy I think. I’m sorry to hear of your loss. My number is 918-760-6442. If you have time sometime give me a call. Take care. Luther

Jim, so sorry and shocked to read Janie’s obit on line this morning. It’s been quit awhile ago that I’ve seen you and Janie. Don’t know details but plan to attend the service Saturday. I am so indebted to you for my PSO job and loved working there. Jim Francis died in his sleep 8/23/12 and about a year and a half later I sold our home on 31st and moved to a one/story condo at Harvard Park Village. I’m praying for you and your family and will see you Saturday. Nancy

Janie has been a good friend to me for many years! She is one of the few women I know that I consider to be a wonderful person, inside and out. I will miss her so much - at Bunco and Happy Hour with the Moms! I will be keeping all the family in my prayers.
