what a beautiful announcement! it expresses her life in the meaningful way in which she operated. i was lucky to be a friend of hers and share joys and sorrows throught the years. i always admired her ability to be so outspoken about the causes she believed in. her tenacity to get things done that were on her agenda was amazing to witness. i will miss her very much. i know everyone who knew justine will have many memories to cherish. hopefully we will continue to champion some of her passions.
