I was Justin's English teacher at Pisgah High School, and Justin was such a nice, polite young man. I can remember him dancing at a Junior High dance, and what a brilliant reader he was. I was so impressed with his potential! He will never be forgotten; instead, he will be fondly remembered by the Pisgah community!!!

I didn't know Justin nor do I know much of the family. Im Lee Porter's girlfriend and I am friends with Kay Johnson. I felt the need to write anyway to let you know you are all in my prayers. I recently lost my dad to cancer so I understand the grief of losing a loved one. It was also the thought and prayers of others that helped to make it thru the pain a little easier. Be with God and know he is with you!
