Justin was a good friend of mine. I used to hang out with him a lot a couple of years ago. I moved out of Millard in 2007 and did not get to see him much after that. I will remember him as one of the most creative people I knew. I will always admire his courage and positive attitude and for keeping a humble attitude even though his talents were way above everyone else. He was so full of talent, brilliantly creative. I wish I would have been able to hang out with him recently!! I will sincerely miss him!!

~We are so saddened by the passing of Jay...he was such a sweet little gentleman, never bothering anyone, just always had a grin on his face and a hug for his Aunt whenever he saw me. I felt as though I lost one of my kids when I heard the news, as he was and always will be a big part of "our family" and we will never forget him and the way he touched all our lives. I remember one Christmas he performed his Rap Music bit for us all~and blew us away with how good he was!(and none of us were big fans of rap music). That was the highlight of that holiday. We will sure miss you Jay, but know that you are now in a better place watching over all of us... with that sweet smile we will always remember. Lov you~

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is over.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
