In Memory - Justa, In Memory - Justa
Our Honey Girl “Justa”!
Where do you begin? How do you begin? We know many families are feeling the same loss and pain as ours. Trying to make sense out of losing their child or a loved one.
We lost our beloved daughter Justa! Her smile, sense of humor, and genuine caring nature will always be remembered.
Justa, exemplified dignity and class. She was truly a good person. Justa was the kind of person that a teacher hopes others will be like, the kind that the world needs. Justa never would say an ill word about anyone or anything. She was so positive, sweet, kind and just a pleasure to be around. Justa always had a cheery greeting or a kind word for everyone. She was someone you could always count on to be there for you or just spending time with.
Justa was always doing something nice for her family or her friends. Rescuing a dog or cat from the pound, making cupcakes or May baskets for her friends at work, or just a little surprise to cheer someone up. She never wanted anyone to feel bad orfelt they were left out. Justa always would think for everyone else before herself. She was the happiest when making others happy.
Justa loved children, especially her nephews and niece. She would call daily and talk to them. Always plotting what she was going to do with them and for them. Justa loved to travel and see new places. She liked going to the movies, watching TV, gambling (playing the nickels) or just hanging out with her friends and family.
You cannot imagine how much we miss her. We appreciate the opportunity to pay tribute to the spirit and love of our dear daughter who reminds us of the real rewards in life. Memories and knowing Justa is an angel among us to be treasured forever. She touched many hearts here on earth and now her soul will touch us from heaven.
Justa was a Daughter, Granddaughter, Sister, Auntie, Friend, and now “Our Guardian Angel.” WE LOVE YOU JUSTA!
