The first time I meet Janie was in 1985 when the Reynolds moved up to Ashland, Oregon and over the next 3 years grew to love them all as family. She will be greatly missed!

The entire Reynolds family is like family to me. I have known them my whole entire life. When I married, she messaged me on Facebook and told me, “I approve, because you married a Bristow”. My in-laws knew Bro. & Sis. Reynolds as well and always spoke very highly of them. She will definitely be missed.

Janie was a mother to me. I met her in 1978 and from day one she was the mother I never had. Janie I miss you so much. Your love for God and your family was like no other. I hope that you are rejoicing with your mom and dad. You love for Don was amazing. Please take care of my Zack for me until God calls me home. I love you.

Sis Reynolds will be greatly missed. She was wonderful woman of God. You could always hear her saying amen in church to whoever happened to be preaching. I will miss her singing and piano playing.

My aunt Janie and I had a special bond. She was one of a kind, always putting others before herself. Her and my uncle were always there for me. She was the kind of person you just loved to be around because she made you feel special. Myself, my husband, and my children will miss her greatly. Their is a special place in heaven for her I’m sure of that. She is forever in our hearts.

My grandmother will be greatly missed. She always knew how to put a smile on your face even on your hardest days. She was loving, caring, smart and beautiful! She filled the minds of her loved ones with great knowledge from life experiences to historical facts.

This beautiful walking miracle will be missed. Her testimony was so amazing and gave Glory to the God we serve. I remember her leading worship playing the piano. I am rejoicing with her now that she is in Heaven walking the street of gold as a whole and healthy being! I am praying for the Swain, Martin and Reynolds families as they walk through this life without this beautiful woman of God by their side!

Much love,
Sister Denise Haight

Janie and the entire Reynolds family are like family to me. I will miss her so much. She is no longer suffering and is singing with the angels. She is praising the Lord. We will see her again along with my daddy and grandson Ryan. Love you all very much
