LifeStory

Francine Justa

A Wife, Mother, Friend, and Colleague Like None Other

By Moe Kornbluth

There are remarkable people who can literally change the world and the lives of those they interact with. They are altruistic, have unbounded energy, great enthusiasm, optimistic vision, tremendous work ethic, and a belief in justice and fairness. They can instill hope, provide support, enable happiness and satisfaction in others. Fran Justa is one of these people.

This LifePosts will attempt to capture her life story and spirit. The chronological narrative is found on the LifeTimeline.  In LifeQs, I will ask friends and family to weigh in with their own stories and memories.

My sister Francine was 22 years my senior . We shared the blood of the same father and had different mothers. We lived on opposite coasts and didnt have many opportunities to see each other or " hang out ".....but we still had a very special connection . We talked like sisters and loved each other like sisters. She was the successful , smart one who I admired and I guess I was the lost one ,whom she tried to guide. If it wasnt for Francine I would not have met or known so many members of the Justa family.....my family . They all are the half of me that I once felt was missing. Francine was always somehow the center of people coming together, family or strangers for that matter. I loved her very much and will miss her always.
