To my family,

I wish so much that I could have been there. I missed seeing her and not being able to say a few last things to her, but even more I missed not being there to support my family. As well as not seeing her, I missed many of you guys who I have not seen in many years. It is sad that everyone had to reunite over such an unfortunate happening, but whatever doesn't kill you, makes you stronger. I wish with all my heart that I could have been there, but hopefully I will see everone soon. I Love you all.

Love, Justin

Jonathan, Tami, Ashley and Justin, We were so sorry to hear of your loss. We know how close you were and how difficult this time must be for you. We will keep you and your family in our prayers. Maybe she will watch over you like my grandparents have watched over my children. Now you have an extra special angel to keep you safe.

We hope you are all well and miss you!

Dear Frannie and Ronnie: I am so sorry to read of your mother's passing. It is always so hard when your last parent goes and there is a big void left which once your parents filled.

May God Bless you both during your time of sadness.
