I know it has been more than a year now, but I have never felt so HORRIBLE for someone as sweet as Justina to have passed away. My name is xavier grady, former student of horizon science academy columbus middle. I remember seeing justina around the school and I even talked to her a few times. Even a short conversation with this young lady was a fun & interesting one. I just want to say that I am very sorry for you're loss to the parents and other member's of Justina. I hope you can forgive me for inputting my thoughts so late.
