To the family of Justin Hunter,

Justin was a very good friend of mine throughout high school, worked with me on several assignments in Spanish classes, and helped to install a radio in my first car. I am terribly sorry for your loss of such a great person. My thoughts and prayers go out to you all.

I don't know what to say when you have lost someone so deeply important and so very young. All I can tell you is that when I lost my little brother who had a young child, is to find the things that made Justin laugh and smile and use them to help you minute by minute.

Love and prayers,
Fran Perkins (Mark Miller)

Tina, Pat and Annette,
My condolences to you on the loss of your husband / son. There really are no words that will take away the pain, but only hope in knowing that Justin is watching over you, Aiden and Austin from Heaven where he will be waiting for you to join him forever with God. Its hard to understand why God calls a person to Heaven at such a young age. His ways are not our ways, but we must trust in God who created all things. May the Lord, Jesus Christ, be a comfort to you in this time of sorrow.
