Dearest Rita, Michael, Lisa and Bubby Sara,

My heart is heavy and I don't know what to say, except that I know that Justin is a light that will shine here forever and will never be extinguished. He brought so much joy and love to us all. This world is a better place for having had Justin in it.
Love always,
Frannie

To Lisa and Justin's Parents:

I mourn your loss greatly and I miss Justin. Although we have grown apart in recent years - I have been overseas - I have many fond memories with him and I thought I should share them with you. When we were kids, 16 or 17 years ago, Justin and I sat side by side in Maurice Cody, in Mrs. Hunter's class. I hardly spoke English at the time, but we became good friends. We played catch, king of the mountain on the Maurice Cody playground hill, and I remember us building forts in the snow to have snow wars in the field during recess.

As time passed, I learned English and the two desks Justin and I sat at started getting carved up with the letter grades of our assignements. We had a game of competing for marks, carving our success into the edges of our desks, filling them with "A's" "A+'s" and "A-'s" and the occasional "B" until there was no more room. Those desks probably sit there still. The room was on the first floor, in the corner closest to where your home is. I don't recall the number, but I'll never forget the years Justin and I spent sitting there, joking, laughing, and actually paying attention sometimes.

Later, in high school, Justin and I played a lot of basketball together. He was one of the feistiest players I ever played with. He had so much heart. At 225, i outweighed him by almost 100 lbs but he fought with the heart of a giant. A lot of heart. Never backed down from any challenge.

After graduating from NT and coming back in November for the "Commencement" ceremony, I got bored and left. The first person on my mind was Justin, and I came right over to your place, to hang out.

One year before that, during the summer of 2002, Justin and I were horsing around in front of your place and I dislocated my shoulder. He was the one to drive me to the hospital. We partied together. We were great friends. I'm sorry to say that time and distance took us apart, but I would like you to know that I will not forget him.
Please accept my condolences. When I return to Canada, I will come to pay my respects properly.

He was a great guy who never had a bad thing to say about anybody. I am still in shock about this great loss of a good guy.

Dear Rita, Michael and Lisa,
My memories of Justin are somewhat faded (have to go back to Manor Road Nursery and Maurice Cody days) but I remember him as fun, happy, full of life and a really nice boy. Katie pulled out an old photo album to go through the Nursery School and Grade School class photos.
My heart and prayers have been with all of you since we saw the news this past weekend and Katie informed us that it was Justin. We can't know your pain, but hope that the support and love that I am sure you are receiving from friends and family will hold you and give some kind of comfort.
