Rest in peace, Janine, your suffering is over…
Many many great memories of you and your parents, longtime friends of the Brooks family!
Janine was an occasional baby-sitter for me, took me to movies (her passion), bought me some of my first record albums, even was my boss for a time at the IU Medical Library. In the last few years, I didn’t see her much, but we had some fun phone conversations, reminiscing about the Good Old Days…
Very saddened to learn of the death of our cousin across the Atlantic. My most sincere condolences to all those who knew her.
