My remembrance of Justine is great. She always made a point to make her way to Gregg Chapel when she was in town. Once she was her for an extended period staying her mom for a while during recouperation. She became a regular in Wednesday evening Bible Study and she and Mrs. Terry were visitors at one of our afternoon services. The point I want to make is although Justine had her struggles sometimes, which most of us do, she always made her way back to God’s House. That says something about who she was. She thought not just about herself but remembered God, her family and her friends. We spent many good year’s worshipping God together at Wayman. I counted her as an honest true friend! I worshipped with her family for many years at Wayman AME. I pray that God comfort and strengthen you. That God give you peace, like no one, or nothing else can. The God we serve is big enough to wrap His loving arms you.
