Sr. Justine was outstanding in so many ways -- a superb professor who many years ago sparked my love for history and politics. Later, she was a mentor and friend who helped me be a better teacher. But most important, she was a leader, one of the pillars of Cardinal Stritch University, and the kindest soul who embodied the values of St. Francis. Wishing the Sisters of St. Francis our deepest sympathies and God's peace.

So terribly sad to hear this news. Sister Justine was such an incredibly smart, kind and faithful person who left such an impact on my life and countless others. Ill never forget the memories both as a student at Stritch and then as the Alumni Director getting to put Sister to work as she often told me and would stop in my office and say I need a job boss. So many cherished times spent together. My heart is with all the sisters.

So sad to hear the passing of our dear Sr. Justine. She was instrumental in my attending and graduating from Cardinal Stritch University. She truly was a light in this world that will be missed. Prayers go out to the sisters of her community and to her friends at CSU.
