I was one of Justin's teachers in elementary school and live on the same street. I was shocked to learn of the passing of Justin. I remember that he was a kind and gentle boy and I love having him in class. May god be with Justin and give the family great peace knowing that he was a wonderful person. He will me missed.

We do not lose the ones we love,
they only go before where there is everlasting life, where sorrow is not no more. There the soul will always live, and peace is everywhere--We do not lose the ones we love, God takes them into his care.

I was terribly saddened to learn of the passing of Justin. I remember Jeryll talking about his grandson when I was still employed at NRC. My prayers and thoughts are with the entire family, and may you find comfort in knowing that "If God brought you to it, he will see you through it!" My heart is with you in love and sympathy during your hours of bereavement.

My great-nephew was a great kid. I had a number of interactions with him since he was age 11. I can' t think of a single instance of a negative about him. His gifts would have carried him far on this Earth. My sympathies to my sister Sherry and my brother in law Jeryll; I know how much you cherished and loved him. My deepest sympathies to my niece April to the loss of your Justin. May the love of Almighty God and the Lord Jesus Christ comfort you. My further sympathy to my nephew David and Justin's Dad's family. I mourn his death with you.
