My beloved Justin,
It has taken some time to write because I could not stop crying. Your passing broke my heart; the reality of the situation continues to destroy me because I was unable to provide you what you needed. All our efforts failed but remember that we will always love and adore you and hopefully we be together again. Jason and Jackie have been forever hurt emotionally because they loved you so much; both miss you dearly. You will be in our thoughts all the time and forever. I love and miss you, Dad
