Deepest sympathies to all of the family. What a sad day. No mother should have to go through this and my heart just breaks for you. Justin was always so nice and respectful and was liked very much. I know that my boys will miss their step brother very much. I hope all can take comfort in that he is home and in the arms of our Father. Thoughts and prayers, Conrad & Chrissy Kats
