So sorry to read of the tragic loss of your loved one. There are no words to ease the pain you must be feeling now, but there is something I would like to share with you that has helped others in a similar time. Please read Luke 7:11-22. It shows that the Creator wants us to live and that Jesus has great compassion for those who have lost someone to death, He would never take someone we love, but will certainly give your loved one back to you. John 5:28,29 speaks of a resurrection of all those in Gods memory and Psalm 37:29 says that righteous people will live on earth forever. These passages are very encouraging. Pray for strength and our Heavenly Father will sustain you. Psalm 55:22. There is much Bible-based comfort to be found at jw.org Sincerely, Martin Skippergrumby@aol.com

Hi, I don't know if you've heard of me but my name is Rylee Gregory. I went to Crossroads Alternative School with Justin. I don't know if anyone will ever see this but I want to say that he is missed by everyone who knew him. I know I'm very late to this but I'm saying this because I think of him every day and wish I could see him again.
