May God Bless & comfort your family. I cannot begin to imagine what you must be going through right now. God gave you the gift of an angel, which was taken away too soon. May you try to find comfort in your many happy memories of Justin. I will keep you in my thoughts & prayers, especially during this holiday season. God Bless you Aaberg family!

Words cannot even begin to say how heartbroken I am for the family and friends of Justin. I firmly believe Justin is with our God. No longer suffering and facing trials and tribulations. He's got that same smile still cause he's not suffering. If there is anything I can do to help, you guys and gals are in my thoughts and prayers, don't hesitate to ask.

Although I never knew Justin personally, it sounds like he was an amazing young man. Please know that his tragic story does not define who he was... but it does serve a higher purpose in touching people such as myself across the nation. Justin continues to live on by inspiring Americans to take a stand against ignorance and work to prevent this from happening again.

I hope that the Aaberg family may be comforted by the many people and lives Justin touched and still continues to touch today.

I have come to learn what a true role model Justin was for all of us, courageous even through the darkest times in the worst of places. You should be so proud of the amazing boy you raised.

May his memory always provide you with warmth, strength and laughter even during the hardest of times.

Justin has touched my life. May we all carry his smile.

Justin was such an amazing person. Inside and out; he always had the sweetest things to say or just a simple grin or smile to light up anyone's day. Nothing is ever going to be the same without him, and his memory will be with us forever. Justin Norman Aaberg was one incredible blessing in all of his friends' lives.

Justin... We all miss you and it is pretty rough without you here. I think the one thing pushing us forward is the want to see you again. Thanks for being such an awesome friend through this year, and for the memories.

It looks like I won though-You never got to pay me back for that Hot Cocoa :P

You introduced me to whales and sparked my love for Owl City. Along with your smile, your very presence lit up all of our lives. Many laughs were shared seeing all of those girls chasing you where ever you went.

I miss you, but I know that our separation, although it is going to feel like an eternity, is going to be a blink of an eye when we look back on our lives together. See you eventually pal.

Just remember that God has a plan for all of us and did for Justin also. You will miss him very much but remember that he is now with his Heavenly Father and you will be with him again someday...Love you guys,Linda Hehr

I've known Justin through my son Nick for several years now and I can remember going to Sandberg the night the kids had to dress up and say a speach about the person they did research on. I can't remember the name of the person he did but he was dressed in his little Indian costume and I made him rehearse his speach for me. He was so quiet but I was very impressed with his speach. He did such a great job that we made him say his speach for everyone that went by. Poor guy! One time when he was at our house, I heard someone playing the cello and thought, wow, Megan sure has improved and is really, really good at it. She's my daughter and plays at Anoka also. Then I actually found out that it was Justin and thought how beautiful his playing was. It was just like him, beautiful music from a beautiful person. He always had a smile on his face. He will always be remembered and missed deeply. Our sympathy goes out to his family and all of his great friends.

You know Justin was the kid at school you see and you could NEVER frown around him. He was always happy and loveable. It was impossible not to smile.
Justin was probably one of the most popular guys at our school, EVERYONE loved him.

I love you Justin. Everyone loves you.
You'll always be in my heart.

Justin....you are a great kid. A great string player, A great tennis player (even though he was new, he exclled and improved a lot) and a great kid. It's so sad you passed away. Everyone loved you. The few memories I have with you were you smiling and having a great time.
I remember one day during practice you and I st...arted a new drill for everyone. You had loads of fun. R.I.P, my good friend.

My sister was friends with Justin, and although I've only seen him twice, on both occasions I clearly remember the laughter and joy that seemed to surround him. The second time I saw him he was at my work buying a few things with a friend. He remembered me before I recognized him and was just the sweetest young man, and so polite. I've seen so many kids come together over the last few days to celebrate justins life and fellowship in their own ways, and I am so moved by how extremely special this boy was to all of them. Its clear he was very well loved and will be extremely missed by those whose life he touched. My thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends of Justin during this difficult time. Justin will be remembered forever and his legacy of love and laughter will live on in the hearts of those who loved him!

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
