As she started a family Justine devoted herself to creating a loving home for her husband and children. She had an extraordinary gift for making her home a warm and inviting haven. Friends and family were always welcome, and her home became the heart of countless gatherings filled with delicious meals, heartfelt conversations, and laughter that will be cherished by her loved ones for generations to come.
