I’m very sorry to hear of Janine’s passing. Janine, Judie, Pat, Diane and Hattie made up a female version of the “Rat Pack”. Until recently, both she and Bill were always at our Christmas parties. Sadly, although Janine has left us, she will be re-uniting with the gals in Heaven. Imagine that party! I would like to extend my sincerest condolences to all of her family members.
I had the pleasure and honor of working with Janine in South Portland and Falmouth. We worked for the special education department. Janine was always very supportive of our students, staff and parents. She worked non-stop to create a positive working environment for everyone. She became a great friend and was my cheerleader on a daily basis. I will miss her friendship very much. We need more class acts like Janine in this world!
Heaven is very lucky to have Janine as the newest and most fashionable angel.
