Justin's life has touched many. I've had the wonderful privilege of being a part of his life, for only the last 3 years, but he has made a lasting impact on me! I loved to see him giggle at a favorite Arthur episode, or see his eyes shine when a new book was given to him. I will really miss our special bath time video, "Guess that Shape and Color". Justin, may you rest in peace, no more pain or suffering.
