Justin Michael Rima

To Justin's family,
I cannot adequately express the sorrow I felt when I received the email concerning Justin. The loss of your child has to be the most unimaginable grief and pain. I am praying for God to surround you with His love and comfort.
Justin is in Heaven awaiting your reunion with him in the future. Of that you can be sure!

My thoughts and prayers are with the Rima family. Justin was a good friend of mine in middle school. I will always remember the fun times we had in science class together. We used to pass little letters to eachother in class while the teacher wasnt looking, about different things that were going on in school. I will never foget Justins big smile and how he excepted everyone for who they are. I remember when I found out justin was not going to the same high school with...

Words cannot express how deeply sorrowed I am at the loss of your son. Prayer is the key to getting you through these difficult times and the diffult times to come, which I'm sure you already know. Your loss touched me personally because I have an 18 year old son and he is a Christian, called into the Ministry of God and is a singer/songwriter/musician. Hearing about Justin brought home the reality that none of us are promised tomorrow and we should continually live righteous before God and...

My prayer is for Justin,s family.
Justin is with the Lord now,we who love the Lord as Justin did,will follow on too. I,am praying for you all at this sad time.

We knew Justin at Cornerstone Christian School. Everyone who knew Justin loved him. How could you not. He had the sweetest smile and the biggest heart. We knew that he would do great things. No one however knew that his great things would end so quickly. Our thoughts go out to the people who knew him best and loved him everyday.

John, Janna and Heather,

We are so sorry we cannot be there for Justin's memorial today, but we do want to let you know we will be there in spirit if not in body. We believe that the arms that welcomed Justin into heaven will be the same arms that hold your hearts today. We are praying the Lord will be very real to you as you walk through this difficult time. With loving sympathy and prayers, Don and Joyce

John and Janna,
I am very sorry for your loss, I know he has effected so many people. I may not have known him well, but through others and seeing him at Stan and Phillis's, I came to admire him. He had such a great personality. He always suggested the best movies and music. Know that I am (along with the whole senior class of Valley Christian High School in Spokane) are praying for you and your family. He inspires me and I would have loved to get to know him better.

It's hard to think of what to say when I think about Justin. He and I have so many memories together that when I try to single out just one it all comes flooding in as love, happiness, and so much laughter. He and I went to school together, fifth through 8th grade, and in the middle of 9th grade we kind of lost touch. I just recently started talking to him again, and I'm so glad I called when I did.
John and Janna, you have raised the most inspiring and endearing person I have ever...
