I didn't know Eddie, but I think of him every single day since the shooting. Why Eddie? Well, his heartbreaking texts to his Mother touched my heart, and shook my soul. A man whom I never met is frequently on my mind. I wish I had met this person who I think of.. He sounds like he was the best! I'm so sorry to his "Mommy". It's clear in his time of need, she was the first person he thought of. My heart truly breaks for her.. Rest in peace Eddie Justice.. You wont be forgotten...

This is such a tragedy on so many levels. But Eddie sticks with me. He's 30 years old and calls his mom, "mommy". Too sweet. He loved his mommy and it's obvious that she loves him. I didn't know any of the victims including Eddie, but my heart is broken. I pray for the survivors and the loved ones. May you heal and find peace.

Ms Justice,
You have been and will continue to be in my prayers. Hearing your story and you talk about your son Eddie broke my heart. I cried for him and for you as if he were my own brother who is also gay. May God bless you and give you strength. RIP Eddie

I don't know your family but I am saddened and heartbroken by your loss. I cried as if this was my family but Eddie's picture and his story touched my heart, I too have a gay son and I could see my son telling me he loves me and pleading for my help.
Long after the dust clears people will go back to their lives but you, all the victims and victims families will continue to live this nightmare. I will continue to pray for strength and comfort to all of you.

To Mrs. Justice and family, I am deeply sorry for the loss of your son. I am also a part of the LGBT community and this incident tore me down! I cried over five times and just kept thinking about your son and the victims. Mrs. Justice I ask that you stay strong for Eddie. He loves you, just like any good son or daughter would love their parent(s).

My heart goes out to his mother and his family. I can't imagine the pain that you are feeling. May GOD send you all comfort and understanding. I didn't know your son but the loss of a child so suddenly by something so needless my heart bleeds for him.I waited with you for his name to be amongst those living and to find amongst those that have passed on .... Broke me! Be strong and hold to GODs hand. Eddie will never have to feel prejudice again!

My prayers are with the family as I have two sons that are growing up in today's times. My heart broke when I saw the text messages... I was praying that the out come would be different but god knows best, for we are here to serve a purpose... I believe that he has served his purpose on Earth and then God needed him to be his angel. I pray that God will guide her to keep her. God bless you mrs. Justice and I am still praying for you and your family

No one touched my heart like Eddie when I woke
up on Sunday morning. I was devastated. I have 2 sons. I've had calls like (his mother) at 2:00 am. Fortunately, my kids are alright this time. Like my 2 sons, Eddie seems bright,
intelligent, full of life, and incredibly good
looking, like my boys. I'm sure he was kind and loving. I'm still hurting.

To all the family members of Eddie Justice, I just wanted to express my deepest condolences. I have never met Eddie, but when I saw his text messages on the news to his mother, my heart broke for both of them. I cannot even begin to imagine what that must have felt like and I don't ever wish it on anyone. I was hoping and praying that he would make it out, that his story would have a happy ending. God had other plans for Eddie and there's nothing any of us can do when our time comes. Just know that Eddie touched so many people who never even met him just by doing something as simple as reaching out for his mother in his time of need. I think that's something most of us can relate to and why it has affected us all so deeply. Again, my deepest condolences to the Justice family. May Eddie rest in peace.

Hello Eddie,Like others I too wanted you to make it out safe. I awoke to your mother on TV talking about the messages she received from you. I went to work and wondered all day if that lady's son made it out. I'm very saddened to know you didn't. I didnt know you but I know you deserved to live. If I'm ever in Florida I will make sure to pay tribute. For some reason I was drawn to you. Shedding tears as I type this. Your story touched so many people. My condolences to the family. Now your living rich in heaven. RIP MY BROTHER!

I did not know Eddie personally but I felt so drawn to him and his story. Reading the text messages I felt like I was texting my own mother. I am her only child and If I were in that situation I would have done the same thing. I have no words that could even begin to comfort you in your time of loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this time. God bless. I love you Justice family!

To Eddie's mom Mina and his entire family you have mine and my family's deepest sympathies and condolences. I am so sorry this has happened. Many tears have been shed for you over this horrible act and the text messages he sent you have changed lives and opened up peoples' eyes. Your son will always stand for Love, caring and bravery. It is so very sad that he has been taken from you. As so many people have stated, I really wish that I would have had a chance to know him; I am sure he was a treasure to know. Just know that he has touched the hearts of millions and millions of people. He is with God now and looking down upon you and smiling, I am sure. May your memories of him stay clear and never fade until the day you see him again. Our prayers are with you. Please know that he is loved by so many people he never knew.

Ms Mina:
I am so so sorry for your loss. I do not know your family, but I can tell your son knew his mother would always do her best to help him .
Indeed this was a tragedy. But, perhaps others will see how much your unconditional love really meant to your son.
May God bless you and yours in this day and the days to come.

RIH Eddie! I didn't know him personally, but somehow felt like I know him. I was so sad when I saw the text messages, I felt awful the whole day when I learned he didn't survive. I feel like he was a great person and by his smile can tell that he lit up a room every time he walked in. It has been said that God takes the ones that are too good for this world and apparently "Eddie" was too good for this world. I will continue to pray and I hope you all are comforted by your family, community and others that have reached out with love. I know that his precious soul will live on and one day you will see him again. Love you all like Jesus loves you and pray that your future days get a little better.

Let me start by saying that l do not know Eddie or his family. But l was so genuinely touched by his last text messages to his "mommy." My heart skipped several beats as l watched Ms. Justice on television, sharing with the world his messages to her. I simply cannot imagine what this was like. Of all the stories l have seen and heard of that fateful night, this one has touched me most. I extend my deepest condolences to the family. Ms. Justice you are such a jewel. I plan to attend the homegoing services. May God forever bless you.
