Some people leave footprints in your heart…sounds cheesy but so true! Janine, I hope you know how much of an inspiration you have been on my path to womanhood. You are one of the strongest women I know and I know you have left a mark on my life as an educator, leader, and woman’s advocate. I hope I get to see you before your retirement. Best of luck to you in the future and we will be in touch!
