Dustin,
It's really hard to think of you as gone, you were such a good person. I enjoyed watching you grow up, your dad and Bubba pulled some funny jokes on the both of us a lot. It sucks you left us so soon but now you are with your Dad and Bubba watching over the rest of us. Love you Dustin
Doing what we used to do with you and your dad

Dustin, although we lost touch with you and Stewart many years ago, know that we thought of you often. We have such fond memories of both you and your dad. David Cooper was my husband who also preceded your physical death in 2005. You stopped by once when you were in high school and we were very excited to see the happy young man you developed into. May you be a light to your family at times when things are the darkest for them as I know David is a light to me and Tabitha when we need him. Memories are what we have left and the fondest of them is what I will hold in my heart. See you some day on the other side my friend!
My Prayors will be with your family. May they be blessed with the strength they need to endure all that life will throw at them. And may the memory of you in their hearts, give them the courage to continue on. You WILL be together again!!
Cathy Cooper (now Simmons)
