‘She is a miracle’ 

Delta Airlines CEO said that while Janice was in the coma, the company was following her progress daily and even included her in their prayers. He added that Janice is a miracle and the whole firm is “so proud” of her. Further, Bastian said that he can not wait to send Janice and Janese on a first-class trip, on the company, anywhere in the world where Delta provides services and when she is able to travel. 

According to CNN, the two sisters were moved by the heartwarming gesture, as they typically travel for birthday celebrations and were unable to do so due to Janice’s condition and the unprecedented pandemic. Moreover, Janice thanked Bastian and also expressed deep appreciation for family and strangers alike for helping and keeping her in their prayers. She said, “To be here having this interview with you now, to me it just makes me realize every morning when I wake up, to say Thank you God for another day”.
