Dustin, how much you will be missed. No words can describe how great of a person you were. I'm glad to have had you in my life. You were such a joy to hang out with and I feel so hurt to know that your life was cut short. I'm not the greatest in expressing myself on paper but all I can say is I will carry a part of you with me through the rest of my days here. You were a good man and you will never be forgotten, but will always be living on through the lives of the ones that you have touched with your love. Thank you for being a part of my life. I will always remember and cherish our moments together.
Love you cuz, and we shall meet up again!!!
