As I look at your pictures Justin, I can see thru you the beauty you perceived as you looked upon everything in this world. So if nothing else that I learn from you is this one thing, you saw through wonderous eyes beauty in many things that some of us never recognized. I knew long ago that you had certain qualities that were a gift from God. Looking at some of your drawings is one example, unbelievably awesome in what you could do with pen and paper. Just know that your talents will not go unrecognized......you are remembered. Love you deeply and miss you always, Love you son!
If I only had five minutes the day you passed away,
I would have had time to tell you all the things I needed to say.
I never got to tell you how much you mean to me,
Or that you were the best cousin, better than any one could be.
The last time that I talked to you
I wish I would have known.
I would have said I love you,
and my love for you would have shown.
If I only had five minutes,
the day you passed away,
I'd give you one last hug so tight and see your great big smile.
I'd tell you that I don't think I could live without you,
not even for awhile.
I'd kiss your cheek and take your hand and tell you we will be okay
And tell you that I'll miss you,
more and more each day!
But you were gone so quickly,
One last car ride you'd take.
Before you even knew it,
you were standing at heavens gate.
Now God has called upon you,
It's time to get your wings.
To leave this life behind you,
And enjoy all of heavens beautiful things.
So wait for me in heaven Justin,
Don't let me come alone.
The day the angels come for me,
Please be there to bring me home.
I love you!!

Well, Sunday your Mom and Dad and Kayla came up to visit with us. We sat around and chatted then rode and looked at old houses and went relic hunting. We told some funny stories about you when you were younger.....boy, you really cracked us up with your dry humor! I cannot describe how much you are missed by everyone. YOU are a piece of our family that will always be missing. Although your memory is alive in our hearts, we long for you to be with us! I know everyone says that time will make things better but that is bull....time cannot fill the void in our lives that your passing has brought upon us. So, for now we will laugh at your childhood memories, look at all your pictures and keep our love for you in our hearts! One day we will be together again....
I'm Still Here
Friend, please don't mourn for me
I'm still here, though you don't see.
I'm right by your side each night and day
And within your heart I long to stay.
My body is gone but I'm always near.
I'm everything you feel, see or hear.
My spirit is free, but I'll never depart
As long as you keep me alive in your heart.
I'll never wander out of your sight-
I'm the brightest star on a summer night.
I'll never be beyond your reach-
I'm the warm moist sand when you're at the beach.
I'm the colourful leaves when Autumn's around
And the pure white snow that blankets the ground.
I'm the beautiful flowers of which you're so fond,
The clear cool water in a quiet pond.
I'm the first bright blossom you'll see in the spring,
The first warm raindrop that April will bring.
I'm the first ray of light when the sun starts to shine,
And you'll see that the face in the moon is mine.
When you start thinking there's no one to love you,
You can talk to me through the Lord above you.
I'll whisper my answer through the leaves on the trees,
And you'll feel my presence in the soft summer breeze.
I'm the hot salty tears that flow when you weep
And the beautiful dreams that come while you sleep.
I'm the smile you see on a baby's face.
Just look for me, friend, I'm every place!
I love you Justin!!
Love,
Jen
As always, I carry you in my heart!
