Space Chick Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Funny you should say that Ali's Girls... I only made her lemon tart about a week ago. Docsquid, you have put my feelings across eloquently. The world does need people like Justine, and will be lacking without her I never met her, but we did have a few online heated debates in our time which I will remember fondly.

chickencam Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 What sad news, I have missed her debate since she stopped posting on here, as others have said we didn't always agree, but she was true to herself and that is a great human quality. Love to her family at this sad time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alis girls Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Poets lemon tart is a favourite - Strange how several of us were making/looking at recipe. I strongly believe in fate, manys a time i have thought of someone and then something has happened involving them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faye&Ant Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Very sad to see this, I don't get on here as often as I used to but always loved reading Poets post's. She always said what she thought which made me smile and gave great advice. My thoughts are with her family at this as time. RIP xxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluekarin Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 I agree Docsquid - she and I didn't see eye to eye but I always read her posts with interest. Such sad news. My thoughts are with Ian and her mum too. RIP Justine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lavenders_Blue Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 I've also made the lemon tart recently, and like you Alis Girls it always makes me think of Poet, as I call it 'Poet's lemon tart'. Such sad news Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jules. Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Very sad news, Justine joined the forum at a similar time to me or just after. I knew that she had health problems but its still a shock to hear of her death. Perhaps the forum could become a little more tolerant of other members in the future now, considering that a former- -maybe the first?- regular contributer forum member has died. I mean that with all respect, we must learn to be kinder to others as we never know when our or other peoples last day on this Earth will be.

bellekatz Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Just seen this on Facebook as I don't come on here very often now. Met Poet and her mum once at an omlet meet at Bents Garden Centre. Lovely ladies and all my sympathies to Ian and her Mum. Will miss her musings RIP Poet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubereglu Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 This has come as a bit of a shock to me. I shall miss her anecdotes and funny and entertaining posts too. My thoughts are with her family, although I did not know her well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WitchHazel Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 What a shock. I doubt Ian will be readin gthe forum, but i'd like to send my sympathy anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlottechicken Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 What a shock Like others, I had a few heated discussions with her at first, but we exchanged a few lovely private messages after her father passed away, and she made some comments on my blog, which was nice of her. I had noticed she hadn't been on here for a while, but I'm not a facebook user so wasn't sure why. I remember her postings about picking elderflowers, I think her and Ian must have filled the whole back of the car with flower heads, they must have made gallons of the stuff! She was a truly passionate lady about everything that interested her, and if she gained a new interest she really threw herself into it, with gusto! RIP Justine, way too young to leave us.

Willow Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 (edited) How very sad I remember enjoying her posts, tbh I don't remember ever finding her controversial. I remember the lovely wedding photo she posted on here with her 20's style dress and head band. Edited to find the link to the photo http://club.omlet.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=32674&p=510574&hilit=justine+wedding#p510574 just scroll down Edited June 23, 2012 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keyhole kate Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 I was only thinking about some of the omleteers I hadn't seen on her recently Poet being one of them I am truly shocked and saddened at this news I had no idea Poet was poorly I liked that she wasn't afraid to voice her opinions and not once did I ever take offence. My thoughts are with her family RIP Justine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Thats terribly sad news, I knew she had an underlying medical condition but didnt realise how serious it was It was a shame that she made the decision to leave the forum however I gather that she did still keep in touch with some members Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craftyhunnypie Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Oh my god. I am in absolute shock! I really can't take it it. What is wierd is I was going to ask about her on here a bit ago, as hadn't seen any of her posts for a long time. I don't think we should be remembering her for ' heated discussions' - everyone has an opinion on every subject & is quite entitled to do so, whether we like it or not. A forum is a place for discussion. We should be remembering her as a person & all the valuable things she did & gave in her life! I remember her sharing her crochet hat pattern with me, with the flower on the side. I sat & crocheted lots of them. Oh & that lemon tart. Mm mm mm. I also remember watching a video of her reciting a poem at The Everyman Theatre in Liverpool. That was really good. Was Justine ill? Taken too young. Rest in Peace Justine!
