Janina, wow where to start. I have so many memories of Janina as she is an inspiration to us all. Janina has been ill ever since I can remember but she never let this get her down. I can remember countless times of being in the hospital with her. You would never think she was actually a patient. I think it was her idea to have wheel chair races in the hospital. She was a kind and caring person and I truly believe that she lived everyday as if it was her last. She was always coming up with new and crazy ideas. Surprisingly everyone followed especially me. No matter what the situation Janina always knew how to make the best of it and see the silver lining. She helped me through many difficult times as she was always the first to lend a helping hand. She will always have a place in my heart. I will always remember her and the family. I really felt like part of the family.

There are not words to express our sorrow. Janina was a young woman of tremendous spirit. We are all enriched by having known her and are the poorer for her loss, but she will always be with us in our hearts and memories.

My world was lost when I found out you had left our world to become something more special!! You helped me through alot of depression. You made me look at life alot differently. You were one of kind, a bestfriend I will never be able to replace. You brought alot of meaning to things that just made no sense to me and turned it into something wonderful I know you will be with us forever and ever but in a more spectacular way. Jake, Zack and I will remember and love you always. May peace be with you and your strength be with your family in this time of sadness. Love you always and forever

Janina,
You were my stepmom, you were very loving, caring, and thoughtful.
I will never forget that. That is something no one could forget about you. You were always looking out for others. Those are qualities that everyone loved about you. I will never forget you. I loved you very much and no one can take that away from me. You were th light when it was dark, you always had a smile even though you were in pain. You looked on the brightside of everything. I will miss you dearly.
With Love, your Step- daughter Ashley

Janina thank you so much for loving my kids and embracing them in your life. You were a great Step Mom and this truly breaks my heart that you are not here with us anymore. Thank you for all your little goodie bags you would bring to the kids at Halloween and X-Mas-they always made the kids feel special. Thank you for always being you. I love you.

Janina, I did not know you long but the few times we met and talked I was impressed with your zest for life and with your long beautiful friendship with Richard. Thank you for including Michael in your circle, he is heartbroken as, I am sure, are all who spent time with you.

Janina recently cared for my grandson, Michael, and I thought she was a great one to be with him. He was so upset when told of her accident and then her passing. He will never forget her. A lovely girl. Nor will I.

Janina
You were my sister and my friend. You went through so much and always came out with a smile. And for that I will always love and remember who you were.We were both in the nursing career together, and Im going to finish it to the end for the both of us. I will always know you are there guiding and helping me through the days. You will always be remembered and loved by those you touched. I miss you.
