My heart is breaking about the loss of Justin. He was an incredible young man; funny, charismatic, smart. He was taken from the world much too early. Words cannot express how deeply we all feel his absence. I hope that you find a way to take comfort in the fact that he is at peace now.
I'm so very sorry that you have to suffer through this pain. I am very sorry for your loss.

The Ship of Life
Along the shore I spy a ship
as he sets out to sea; he spreads his sails and sniffs the breeze and slips away from me. I watch his fading image
shrink, as he moves on and on, until at last he's but a speck, then someone says,"he's gone." Gone where? Gone only from our sight and from our farewell cries; that ship will somewhere reappear to other eager eyes. Beyond the dim horizon's rim resound the welcome drums, and while we're crying. "There he goes!" They're shouting, "Here he comes!" We're built to cruise for but a while upon this trackless sea until one day into infinity.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the Bosworth Family.

Richard, Derek and family,
There are no words to express how sorry I am for your loss. It tears my heart apart to think of the pain you are going through right now. I wish there was something I could do to help. Just know that I am here for you and I love you! Derek I know you are hurting sweetie and if there is anything I can do call me! Richard, I wanted to tell you how proud of you I am! You have been a WONDERFUL father! You have impressed me many times over the years in the way you have ALWAYS been there for your children and stood by them! I have watched much lesser men walk away! You have always been a very special man and although we all make mistakes in life you have always made sure that when it came to your children you did your best to make sure they knew without a doubt how much you love them and how special they are to you. Don't ever doubt that they know it! My heart aches for you and if there is anything I can do let me know. I love you all! We will continue to pray that God comforts and keeps you during this time and the days ahead. Love you!

Bosworth Family -
My first memory of Justin was when I met Richard so Derek could spend a vacation with his father's family. I remember watching this extremely bright eyed toddler jump out of Richard's SUV and scream "Derek!". Justin had a grin from ear to ear and was excited like a child on Christmas morning. Justin hugged Derek and I wondered if he would let go. This moment (over a 15 years old) melted my heart and is a permant memory in my mind. It was the first time that I witnessed the brotherly love and strong relationship between Justin and Derek. As Derek's mother, I have heard many fond stories from Derek throughout their years together. The most recent story that Derek shared with me was of their meeting in Jacksonville when Derek's fraternity had a formal there. Derek & Justin planned some brotherly time which lasted into the wee hours of the morning. Derek told me how much fun they had and how proud he was to have his Frat brothers meet his brother. There is no doubt in my mind how much these two brothers loved one another despite the miles between them. I know that Justin has blessed everyone with happy memories that will be in their minds and hearts forever. Personally, I will NEVER forget that sweet little toddler with that smile planted on his face who cherished the time with his big brother and family.
My heart aches for the Bosworth family with their loss. My thoughts and prayers will be them today and always. Love you all!

I have fond memories of Justin volunteering for us at The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society Hawaii office, during his early high school years. He was a joy to have around - very sweet and a great sense of humor! He will be greatly missed, but never forgotten... sending my love and condolences to the entire family from the islands...

Tara, I'm so sorry. I loved Justin like he was one of my own sons. For the last 5 years he had been Andrews best friend. I'm use to him being here almost everyday at the house and now it feels empty. I will never forget his beautiful smile, or the way he would laugh at something silly on the tv. If there is anything we can do to help please let us know. Daniel and I loved him very much.

Boz, Kerry, Tara and all of Justin's family - We are so terribly sorry to hear of Justin's passing. In the few times we saw Justin, we found him to be a polite and happy boy, as well as an endearing goofball willing to do the ridiculous. He was fun to have around. And it was evident he loved his sister Katelyn. Sending thoughts and prayers from his Jersey cousins.

My deepest condolences for Justin's family. Justin was a really cool guy who stood out around Sandalwood. Everyone loved him & we are all just so confused why this happened. My heart goes out to Ariell; they were always together. Though this is nothing short of a tragedy, we can find comfort in knowing he is with God now. We will always miss Justin, and I know for myself I could never forget a beautiful smile like that in a million years. As a fellow saint, I'm truley saddened to see Justin's life ended so soon, but we shall all reunite at Heavens gate when the time comes. Goodbye is only temporary.

Justin was a close friend of mine. We lost touch the past year but he was still considered my closest friend. We would stay up late some nights and he would tell me about his goals how he wanted to change his life and make something of himself. He was a great person inside and out. I miss him so much and can't get him off my mind . He made my most important years and made me the happiest person on earth when I'd be with him and he would shine that gorgeous smile on me. Babyboy keep on smiling look at all the people who love you . Forever on my heart! I love you.

Tara, Richard, Katie, Reagan, and Derek, I am so sorry for your loss! Losing a child is one of the most painful things that can happen to a person, and losing your brother is painful to those siblings left behind. I have been there and I know how bad it hurts. Take the time to grieve your loss, and try to remember all the good times you had together. In time, the pain will move into the background and hurt less. God will take care of you. We are keeping you in our prayers and I asked my friends at church to pray for you all at this time of need for God's grace in your lives. May God grant you the mercy you need to get through this difficult time. God bless and keep you!
Love and prayers to you all, Sandra DeHotman, Woodstock, GA.

Tara,
I am so sorry for the loss of your love one Justin. I know the love and happiness that he has provided you in his short years of existence cannot be console by mere words of sorry alone. One consolation about this is that he is finally free of his worldly worries and now enjoying the company of our Lord Jesus Christ. I will include the soul of Justin in my family's daily Holy Rosary prayer and devotion to Jesus and his Holy Mother Mary. May the Peace of the Lord be with you and your whole family always......
