Bob and Sacha,
Although we didn't know each other very well, you have been in my family for the past 11 years, through the friendship of our girls. I don't have the words (still) to express how sorry I am, but please know that you are in our prayers. Justine was, and is, very loved, and will be sorely missed.
I wish you peace
Christine's mom,

JUSTINE
why did you leave so suddenly?
we didn't even say goodbye.
you were a friend to me,
you were a friend to all of us.
we remember the good
and forget the bad
take kind in knowing you are
with all of us,in all of us
and will never be forgotten
what happened to you is horrible,
how you left us makes us weep.
you lived breifly. but lived fully.
you weren't afraid of anything.
we remember you!
ALWAYS REMEMBER

She left the world to soon it seems
Never even got to finish her dreams
I cried allot and I wanted to scream
why must she leave at the age of 13
she left this world, without saying a word
but with this fate there’s a message to be heard
this young girls death, is what brought us together
knowing that our love for her will go on forever
Knowing she is flying with angels high above
leaving us her memory, her pictures, and her love
She was an amazing person, what a spirit to take
But the love we all shared, is a bond never to brake
now I will tell you all, Justine's friends and family
she's not gone, she lives in your hearts and memory
She is talking to us now, if you listen real close
and this is her parting gift, what she wants the most
She loved us all, and held us dear
so stop your crying and wipe off your tears
she lived a life of giving and rarely a gainer
Rest in Peace my now passed friend Justine Trainor
~ Yours Truly,
Alex Nannicelli
we will never forget you Justine. Me and Pooh will miss you
Family and friends stay strong

Dear Walpole Community,
We would like to thank you all very much for the many, many acts of kindest you have shown to the entire Trainor family since the tragic death of our Justine on September 17 2007.
We have been overwhelmed by the generous community concern and support, which has been most comforting during the past week. Flowers, food, and notes of condolence and prayer were left at our doors; hundreds paid their respects at the services, including friends and classmates of Justine’s and Sacha’s, too young to be faced with such profound grief. It was particularly touching that people who did not know our family came to offer words of comfort.
We are a large and loving family who will surround Bob and Sacha and help them cope with the profound loss we are all experiencing. We now know that they can also count on their Walpole family for comfort and support. Justine was very happy growing up in this wonderful town. Our memories of her spirit and love of life will help to carry us all through our future journeys.
Sincerely,
The Trainor Family

Sacha and her entire family,
Justine was an amazing little girl who always brought a smile to my face. Althugh I did not see her as often as I would have liked, she always was someone I looked forward to seeing.The last time I saw her was at our dance rectial. We sat and talked while we waited to go on. I am so happy that I saw her at the place where she got so much joy....dancing. Sacha, you helped me get through the rough time following my mom's death and I am always just a phone call away if you need anything. This is a pain I would not wish on anyone and I am so sorry that it has happened to such a wonderful family.
But just remember, her spirt, smile and laugh will live on in the memories you have shared. She will never truly be gone as long as she is in our hearts.

WORDS OF REMEMBRANCE
AT THE FUNERAL OF JUSTINE ELISABETH TRAINOR, age 13 years
September 22, 2007
The death of a child is so very hard to experience. For a child represents life, not death. Her eyes show hope for the future. Her smiling face beams happiness and love. Her young body virtually flies through the air and makes us believe we too can dance.
But with death – we cannot see the hope. We miss the love and the happiness. We forget how to dance. And so we mourn and pray for the peace and understanding only God our Creator can give to us. Inside we are torn apart. We miss Justine dearly.
As adults it is incomprehensible to accept the death of a child. As adults we are mature, knowledgeable and wise. We may understand what happened, but we will never know why. It doesn’t follow the order and logic. How many of us prayed, “Dear God, If only we could take her place; if only our voices were loud enough to stop the truck; if only our arms were long enough to pull her to safety!”
Justine is in the arms of her grandfather now. And the two of them, along with Gram, are safe in the embracing arms of our Lord. It may be hard for us to see them now. Our eyes are clouded in the veil of tears we shed this week. But we will experience her again soon. You see, as much as a piece of our hearts died with Justine, a precious piece of Justine lives in our hearts too.
Let me tell you a story. I was 12 years old when my teenage brother died of leukemia. I knew he was sick, but did not know he was going to die. And it was a time when children could not visit in the hospital. So I never got to say goodbye to him. We never got to say goodbye to Justine either. Perhaps that is the hardest part. But because she lives on in us- like my brother in me – Justine will never be completely gone from our lives.
Don’t be afraid to talk about Justine. It is one way to always keep her present to us. After my brother died, I did not know how to talk about him and no one else did either. Years later, Hank, a childhood friend told me a story about how my brother John had been a lifeguard and jumped in the water to save Hank’s life. That story gave me the courage to talk freely about him and learn other stories about his short life.
Let us remember Justine, not for that tragic moment on Monday, but for the thirteen great years of her living to the fullest, playing and laughing with her friends, her sisters, her Dad and Mom, her grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, classmates and teachers. Remember Justine as she would tell jokes and make us all laugh. Picture Justine as she would dance through a room and tumble across the grass, and make us proud. Watch Justine as she would care for animals because she learned how to love from her family.
I will always miss my brother, as we will miss Justine, but they will remain alive to us in these memories shared.
Life is truly a gift, no matter how long or short. Justine knew that. She lived everyday fully and gave thanks as only a child can, with laughter and love, enthusiasm and joy. Justine’s soul is alive, her very essence is alive. And her memory is alive too, in each of us.
See how God’s grace works? Justine is like an angel now. Through our family’s love for each other and the memories we share, Justine is with us as much here as she is in heaven. And as the tears fade and dry, we will again see her hope; we will again experience her happiness and love; we will again remember to dance.

I do know your family and did not know Justine. However, I do have a fourteen year old sister which is why this hits so close to home! I sit here at work and have tears in my eyes hearing of this story, thinking how hard this will be for you! I can not imagine! Even though I did not know her, I am sure she knew how loved she was as she loved you!
Keep her with you always for she will always a part of you!
My deepest sympathy to your family!
A MA resident!

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
