Jim and Diane,
I guess I haven't been paying much attention to things... I didn't know about the passing of your son until today, and now it's two and a half years later.
I just wanted you to know that I think about you both often, and have fond memories of you and your friendship. I'm so sorry for your loss. I never knew your son, but I can see you, Jim, in his pictures.
KEEP YOUR FAITH! The important changes you both committed to back in... when was it? 1978?... it's been a long time... anyway, those things were all true then, and they're still true now, and will be for eternity. You will see Justin again, and your joy will be beyond your current understanding. God bless you and your family. Steve Recksiek

Dear Justin,
You and Claudia made my life complete by giving me grandchildren. They give me so much happiness and even little things like playing, eating, and when they are asleep. Some day I hope to understand why you had to leave us so soon.
Love Mom
celebrating your life .

We were all thinking of you here a lot the last few days. I wonder perhaps if you just weren't way too much energy for this world to handle? Man Im going to miss your face..

To the Greaves family. I met Justin when he was hauling mail to Boise. We always looked forward to his great attitude. His smile would brighten the loading dock when he came through the door. His can do spirit helped us out of a few mishaps. He made a lot of friends in Boise and will always be remembered

I'd rather fight some mighty wave
With honor in supreme command;
And fill at last a well-earned grave,
Than die in ease upon the sand.
I'd rather drive where sea storms blow,
And be the ship that always failed
To make the ports where it would go,
Than be the ship that never sailed.

So sorry Claudia. Much love.
