It is with a heavy heart that I share the sudden and devastating loss of my baby sister, Janay Emerson, on November 26th, 2023. She was only 25 years old. She leaves behind her young daughter, Maliyah, sisters, Janessa, Arrianna, Jada, and brothers Devan and Joseph (Tre) along with her mother, Jeanna Gentry, father, Joseph(Jody) Emerson and many other family members and friends that cherished her.

One of Janay’s most extraordinary gifts was her capacity to give love even in the face of tremendous personal pain and suffering. This was very evident in the relationship between her and her babygirl. Her unwavering love will be felt forever.

I know we all are going to have a long challenging road ahead coping with the new reality of life without Janay’s presence and love. Through this page, I'm hoping to help ease the financial burdens that lay ahead for the family. All the funds raised will go directly towards funeral costs, immediate living expenses for her daughter and any other expenses that may arise.

The outpouring of love and support from friends, family and the community during this unimaginably difficult time means the world! A financial donation, however big or small, will have a huge impact on helping our family to navigate the tough journey ahead.

Thank you so much for taking the time to let me share this heartbreaking story. And thank you from the bottom of my heart for your love and support.

For anyone who needs to hear this please know you are not alone, you are loved, and don't be afraid to ask for help. There is always hope and brighter days ahead.
