"I have been brought to tears again," she wrote to Instagram on Tuesday, March 12. "I’m being told about everyone’s donations to @highcountryhumane @arkcatsanctuary in Garrison’s name."
"Thank you all for your generosity. It means so much," she continued. "The cats he adopted from both agencies were so important to him. He loved being a cat dad."
Janelle also assured worried followers that her son's three cats had been adopted by Garrison's siblings and were "settling in" with them at the moment.

"You raise good humans, Janelle," one user penned. "All your children seem like kind, loving people. I wish you so much peace, mom to mom."
A second person replied, "Janelle, I hope you see how much your family has impacted so many people. There’s a lot of drama and BS that comes with being in the public eye, but look how many lives your boy touched, and continues to touch. He has made a lasting impact for sure. ❤️ so happy the siblings have the cats. A way to honor and carry on his legacy for sure."
