In Memory of Janine: Support Her Family

If you knew Janine, you know she was one of the kindest, most selfless, generous souls on earth.

An amazing woman, a fiercely dedicated mother to Aidan, an animal advocate and a loving and devoted partner to her soulmate Keith.

No matter what she was struggling with personally, she would always reach out to help anyone in need in the community. Even a perfect stranger. Keith too, who would be the first to go out to help a stranger in a snowstorm, with a flat, or to fix their generator so they'd have heat. He is just "that guy".

Janine struggled with health issues for years, Keith by her side, tirelessly and selflessly taking care of her, her son, and all their rescued animals each day, without a complaint.

No matter what their own struggles, if someone in the community needed help, Keith and Janine were always the first ones to step up and offer whatever help they could without hesitation. Despite her health issues, their physical and financial challenges, they both always gave freely of themselves for anyone in need in this community. Friend, neighbor or perfect stranger. Always paying it forward!!

This past Friday, Janine passed away suddenly and unexpectedly. Keith and Aidan, who was away in the Army and flew home, are now battling unimaginable grief, while trying to make funeral arrangements, take care of the house, all the animals, a pile of bills and all these unexpected expenses, on their own.

These folks, who for many years, have helped countless people in our community, would NEVER ask for help, but they need our help now!! More than ever!

Please consider a donation in memory of Janine, so her family can grieve their loss, without the additional stress of these expenses. Let's come together as a community and wrap our arms around Aidan and Keith. Any donations above the cost of these expenses, will be donated to one of Janine's most beloved animal charities!

A celebration of life will be held in their Upper Greenwood Lake home in the coming days. Details to be announced soon.

The world lost a true angel on Earth. Rest Peacefully Janine ✌️
