Such a sad loss, Justin was always in a good mood and ready to goof off when we were younger. We had many Goodtimes. As Autumn was on of my best friends. But he is home now reunited with his Moma, though it doesn't take the sorrow or pain his family and friends feel. All we can do is trust in Gods will and his plan. Autumn I'm truly sorry this has happened! You've been though so much in life and yet your still standing strong. You and the family are in my prayers. I know there's nothing I could say or do to take your pain away, other then I'm here anytime you need a shoulder or ear. You have always been my girl and always will be so don't worry about messaging me or calling me or seeing me, because its not a problem I'm here for you for ever! I love you girl! I'm always here when you need a ear. To Justins wife and babies my heart aches for you as well, you will be in my prayers! Love to all!!
