Jessica, Elaina, Marie,
I never knew anyone both more cheerful and hard working than Junior. To have him as a friend I was reminded to enjoy and be thankful for my life every minute. I know that if we heard from Junior today even in this circumstance he would put us at ease and make us smile because that is who he is. I am fairly certain that other than leaving us far too soon he would have had no regrets, and that he lived his life to the fullest every day.
I hope that you can ease your sorrow by knowing that he loved you fully and that you received and gave to him the greatest gift that we can give or receive of love. I know that you and the rest of us will keep the best of him in our hearts. We must choose to live our lives every day with a smile and in service and love to each other. If we can do that, Junior will remain with us throughout our lives.
You are loved by many.
