Dustin and family,
Our prayers are with you and your family. I know its been a tough year for everyone. Dustin, you need to be there for your mom and be strong. Someone gave me a Bible verse to read: Isaiah 57: 1 & 2
and when I am having a bad day...I read it. I thought I'd pass it along to you. It says it all. Sometimes it gives me a little comfort. Shelley Greenfield (Justins mom)
