Janine was a lovely woman. She was thoughtful and considered when it would have been easy to be reactive. She researched and worked through the knottiest of problems with calm and persistence. And she was a wonderful human. Rest well, Janine.

Janine was the loveliest of women. She was kind, witty, intelligent and loved by all who knew her. A conversation with her always resulted in thoughtful reflection.
