I´m so sorry to hear about the passing of Justin. I babysat Lauren and Mason for several years. I would love to be able to reach out to them, but I have no way of knowing how to get ahold of them. Maybe you could give me a phone number. My phone # is 406-360-5221. Thank you and again I´m so sorry for your loss.

Dawn, you had one of the good ones. Although it wasn't long enough, he told me he had never been happier than his life with you. I will miss him.
