My thoughts and prayers go to Jianny’s family during this difficult time. I am honored to have known Jianny. She was always very smart and funny and always straight to the point. I have spent many enjoyable moments with her. We recently put together the RTC float for the North Haven Memorial Day parade. On Memorial Day, it sprinkled and then rained. I have a picture of her in her golf cart watching the parade. We spent hours together and I look back at those moments and smile. I know she loved her family very much. Please know she will be sadly missed.
John and Karyn we are so sorry for your loss. Your entire family is in our thoughts.
My prayers go out to Jiannys family. I miss you already. Will miss Saturday morning breakfast, but will always feel your with us.
It is with great sadness we acknowledge the passing of Jianny a women who gave so much to her family, friends and community. You will always be in our hearts.
