We loved Jannie sooo much.  She was a sister in faith, a mother full of encouragement, and a friend who brought sunshine into our day to day lives. Our deepest sympathy to her family whom she lovingly shared with us.  Alice and Fred Hedt, Carrboro North Carolina.

Aunt Jay and Uncle Clay drove my grandmother all the way from Washington DC to Nashville, TN to see me graduate from law school.

Jannie's bright spirit is what I will remember and miss most. She was alongside my entire police career as much as Clay and often, more.....She would gossip with me on stuff that Clay wouldn't touch. I was happy to be in her circle of trust.

I'm with you Clay and the boys in missing her already but knowing her remembrance will always bring a warm glow and fondest of memories.

From the Kiwanis Club of Shepherd Park, we of our sincere condolences the The Goldston Family. Although a major branch of the family Zion have graduated to glory, God has scooped up His child Jannie to transplant her as a flower in The Master's Bouquet. She was a true Masterpiece who has now achieved The Master's Peace. May her soul rest in eternal peace with the ancestors.

Aunt Jay was so much fun to be around and full of energy! She was not only my Godmother but a second grandmother to my brothers and me. We will miss her dearly. Her memory will live on through us all 💜

I am deeply saddened by the passing of Janie. She has been a cheery light in my life since my childhood and I looked forward to chatting with her whenever I return home.  Her consistent kindness and upbeat energy has lit up our neighborhood for many years. 

My deepest condolences to Clay, Donny. Chuck and the entire family. ❤️

Keeping you in my prayers. Rest in Peace.

R.I.P. My Friend. Prayers going up for your family during this time of sorrow.
