Aunt Amy we are so sorry for your loss, Justin will be missed and even though he is not here he will always be with you.
Think of Me
Think of me and know I am with you
Think of me and smile.
Think of me and know that our parting
Is only for awhile
On the days that you feel so desperate,
To see my smiling face.
Just believe in your heart I am with you,
And that I'm in a beautiful place.
So think of me and remember,
All the memories in your heart,
And believe and know that this is true,
Then we are never really apart.

We love you Aunt Amy so much xoxoxo

I can still vividly remember the days when we were kids and we would dress in Halloween costumes and dance around my house to Spice Girls songs. We were quite the duo! You were such a happy, kind, and free spirit and I always looked forward to the time we got to spend together. Your Aunt Peggy and I will truly miss you. You were a beautiful soul. Love, Your Cousin Nick

Justin,
I will never be able to express just how grateful I am to have had you in my life. The memories I have with you make me smile everytime, and you were one of the most genuine friends God had ever blessed me with. No body on this earth could make me laugh the way you could. I will carry our friendship in my heart forever and I can't thank you enough for always being there for me. You are such a beautiful soul Justin, I love you forever

To my Justin, I love you and you will always hold a special place in my heart. From the times watching you run around in your yard, to your baptism and your graduation, I watched you grow from a little guy to this wonderful man with a smile that could melt any heart. I will always remember you as the one that called me "Ms. Regina". I remember telling you as an adult now you did not have to call me that, but because of the person you are, you never gave it a second thought. I will miss you forever, and will take care of your mom as best I can. Rest in eternal peace.
Amy, John and Shannon, losing Justin whom we all love is nothing easy, but knowing that we have been able to be part of his beautiful life, we realize that we were blessed to have been able to share in it before he went to rest in eternal peace. Curtis, Crystal and I extend our most heartfelt sorrow and condolences.

It hurts so much without you here Justin. You were everything to me. You were my one and only constant in this entire world. You made me feel beautiful, and loved, and always happy every time we would talk, which was literally more times than I can count on one hand. every single day. You were my rock, and I was yours. We were so weird together, and we loved it. we were the truest versions of ourselves when we were together, or even on the phone or FaceTime. 3000 miles didn't change anything at all for us. It honestly made our friendship even stronger. We shared a bond that was indescribable. But when we were together, it was like home. I never shared a friendship with anyone in my life, like the one I did with Justin. I'm so happy to have shared the best experience of my life with you, traveling all over the country for almost a month, stopping wherever our hearts led us. It warms my heart to know that I was able to share that journey with you, and the beginning of what was your new life in LA. You were so happy. It made me so happy to see you grow and become exactly who you wanted to be. No matter what though, you still always made sure I was okay. You never forgot about me. Not one day passed where we didnt talk. I miss you so much Justin. I'm so lost without you. I dont know what I'm gonna do without you for the rest of my life.
But I'm going to keep going, for you.
I'll be a little wild every once in awhile, for you.
I'll stay sassy forever, for you.
I'll always be me, the real me, for you.
We were an unforgettable dynamic duo.
You loved me so much, every aspect of me, & for who I truly am.
You're the only person i'll ever thus far in life, be able to say did. Unconditionally. I love you so much. Forever.
XOXO, your morg

Dear Justin, there are no words to describe the sadness from your passing. I am grateful to have been able to grow with you. Our ventures and your love for life inspired me in more ways than you will ever know. You were happy, funny, and adventurous. Never forget my man in black vans.

Dear Justin, words could never express how much pain and tears I've gone through these past few weeks since I lost you. You were my very best friend, and i never though I'd ever loose you. Ever. We grew up together since middle school, getting fat together as we would always say, and all of our millions of laughs and memories, god no one could ever replace you in my life. You'll always stay close to my heart Justin, you were the light of my life over these years, and I'm not ready to say goodbye. I love you so much. Forever

Justin Michael Lavelle. Your mom and I were blessed to have you on this earth for 23 years. Your beautiful smile, caring personality and love will forever be in our hearts. Not one day will pass, where you are not thought of, missed and loved. May you look down and bless us, just as you did here on earth. We love and miss you with each breath we take. The Lord took you early from us, but you are here in spirit. You touched so many lives. I will never forget all the joy you brought me. To say I love you son, doesn't even touch the surface. My heart has a void, but your beautiful smile and memories will fill that void. God Bless you my beautiful child.
