Janelle, her grandkids and children — who also include sons Logan Brown, Hunter Brown and Gabriel Brown and daughters Madison Brown and Savannah Brown — all appeared with big smiles on their faces. Garrison also seemed in good spirits.

“Praying for you in this time. You have unapologetically stood by your children in ways only a mom knows how to do,” one person commented under the post.

Another added, “The love between you all is conveyed in everyone’s smiles. Your entire family is in our thoughts and prayers. Wishing you comfort during this unimaginable time. Hugs to you and your family.”

Per the report, Janelle contacted her son and, after exchanging a few words with him, asked one of his siblings to “check” on him because he had stopped responding.
