Justin leaves a legacy of love and integrity with his family and those who knew him. He has left behind wonderful memories of a loving husband, father, son and brother. I am grateful for each and every day I got to see his glowing smile and for the lessons learned and all the jokes we shared. He was spiritually strong and compassionate, and had a clever sense of humor. Above all he loved and cherished his family and friends. We will miss him more than words can express.
Justin was the type of person you couldn't get enough of. If I could live it all over again, I would go back in time when Justin asked me to marry him, and a million times over I would say yes. Marrying him was the best decision I ever made in my life and I would never change that. He was my prince charming, that's how much I love my husband. That's how much I will keep on loving him.
Until then my love be at peace, please guide my life here on earth. Please watch over our children and protect them from harm. Justin, you will always be remembered and will always live in our hearts. I love you so much. We had 3 joyful years of the deepest love and truest partnership I could ever imagine. You gave me the experience of true love. being deeply understood, truly supported and completely and utterly loved. I will carry that with me always. We did not have enough time together.
As we put the love of my life to rest, we bury only his body. His spirit, his soul and his amazing ability to give is still with us. It will live on in our stories and how he touched our lives. This love is visible in the eyes of our family and friends. Things will never be the same, but my world is a better place for the time I had with my beloved husband. Rest in peace my love until we meet again, I love you.
