Brenda,
I wanted you to know how much I loved Justin and enjoyed taking care of him at Active Day. When ever he was absent for a few days he would walk in with a big smile and announce to eveyone
" I'm Back" He was a sweet, gentle, smiling boy and he will be missed on earth but certainly GOD got one of his angels back home. I am no longer working at Active Day and I didn't get to tell him goodbye. But I know I will think of him and smile.
