Jannie believed in family and friendship more strongly than almost anyone I know. We were friends for more than 50 years. She was my bridesmaid and then godmother to my daughter, Lucy, and was always considered a part of our family. She was the one friend I could always rely on to tell me the truth, bluntly and honestly. If I'd always followed her advice I'd have made less mistakes in life and less fashion blunders too. She was quite simply the sister I never had. I can hardly believe she has gone. Our family will the poorer for her passing. Rest in peace, Jannie.
