Baby Justin's Family,

I wish you peace, strength and love as you travel this journey. Know that you are not alone. So many are thinking of and praying for you now. I too lost my healthy 3 month old son last summer. The pain has not faded, but it does get easier to manage. Please be easy on yourselves. Your son is forever a part of you and you will always be his parents.

Lots of love,

Wayne Bell

I am very sorry to hear of your loss. As a former fireman I had the unfortunate experience of being involved in to many SIDS deaths. My belief is that for whatever the reason, God wanted these children to return to him. That doesn't make your loss any easier but, please take comfort in knowing Justin is now with God and under his love and protection.

Our love and prayers are with you,

Uncle Wayne and Aunt Catherine Bell
