Susan and Darryl, With so many of your friends in attendance, it was impossible to show my sorrow at your loss, it is my sincere hope that your sons memory lives in those that are here to remember his spirit. May your blessings be fruitful in the times coming, Del from USC and the World of Omega

Justin was a beautiful young man and it is so hard to imagine he isn't still walking the earth among us. I remember him as a bright eyed 6th grader and will never forget his brilliant smile. A sweet and kind young man. I remember seeing him 3 years ago at the Aquatic Center - I hadn't seen him in a few years. Yet he smiled and hugged me remembering I was Katie's mom. I will always remember Justin. My heart goes out to you Darrell and Susan. You had an amazing little boy.

I did not have the pleasure of knowing Justin, although I had seen him a couple of weeks ago at the school (my son is a 10th grader). Please accept our sincerest condolences on your loss. I cannot begin to imagine the size of the hole that has been created in your family. He clearly was a wonderful young man and if you believe in there being a heaven then I am sure he is now looking down upon this place called earth. God bless your family and be safe.

Susan and Darrell,

An extended hand...a warm embrace...presence so rare I wish I could have bottled it to save for many lifetimes. Justin welcomed both of our daughters with open arms, first Claire at their many swim meets, the Junior Olympics, in 8th grade leading their swim teams to victory, the drama performances, the dances and then Erika on their photography trip.

Justin and you embraced our family without judgment, pouring yourSelves into bringing us into your extended family. Words don't do justice to what Justin meant to us. He treated Erika like a sister on her photo trip with Darrell and him to the South Pacific, always there for her during their trip. He treated Claire with dignity and respect like no other boy I ever met and set a standard for being a gentleman at such a young age. And, where did he get this presence? For, he was always emotionally available to us, and from what I can tell by the outpouring of support, to everyone with whom he came in contact.

Serendipity brought us closer together when we discovered relationships that connected us that took us back almost 40 years.

The mom of a late classmate of Justin's commented days after her sudden death just three years ago that "If there is anything that makes this darkness manageable for me it is that … we loved completely. We were consciously grateful every day, and I can't stress how lucky that makes us feel". Susan and Darrell, I have no idea how you feel, but you "loved completely" more than any couple I know. Your love was, and remains, infectious. Even more important, Justin's bright and shining presence lives on through you. You made yourselves vulnerable--as did Justin--with no expectations, only decency, dignity and respect.

We are keeping you in our prayers,

Love,

Bill and Felicia Funderburk

Darrell & Susan our hearts go out to you and the entire Carr\Toler clan. It is in difficult times like these that we must turn to our Faith. Justin was such a Blessing not only to you, but to everyone who knew him. Faith tells me that B.T. and Melvia are keeping close watch now. Our Parish in Dublin is praying for you, Justin and the family. Will see you very soon!
