Dustin - YOU have made a positive impact on my daughter and our family in Bedford. We will always remember the twinkle in your beautiful blue eyes as we loaded on the Bus in the morning, before school. Our daughter Bethany talks of you all the time, and she is convinced that her MiMi (who is in Heaven) is now hanging out with Dustin. :) Warm thoughts to you all - Dustin is a good soul ... who has now found a life of freedom! We love you guys! Bethany (classmate) & Family (Bedford, NH)

Proud to have been the cousin of such an amazing and strong young man. We are so deeply saddened that you are physically no longer with is, but take comfort in knowing we have gained a guardian angel. We know you are somewhere where you are free from pain and in the arms of so many who went before you who also loved you so very much. My heart is broken for our family, but blessed to be among some of the strongest people I know. We love you, Dustin!

Love,
Meese and Gareth xo
