Thinking of Justin today and sending Andy and Melanie love and light.  

Anne & Richie

We have been clients and friends of Andy and Melanie for 13 years.  We would always hear about Justins' adventures on each past weekend and how much he was advancing in his Martial Arts and anything Justin tackled.  I always said he was a special boy and had two wonderful parents to guide him.  A special light always surrounded Justin.   It seemed like that from what Andy would relate to us.  A beautiful child,  an honorable young boy,  a beautiful soul.   His light will never waver...   The light will continue for eternity.  

All our love and thoughts on this memorable day.  

My deepest heartfelt condolences to you both Melanie & Andy.  I will always remember how dedicated you both were to Justin. He was a part of the center and would join the tribe meetings with the sweetest smile on his face.  He was so patient while we shared and often made us laugh.  I remember one meeting where he was so patient waiting to open a gift of legos and his excitement was so infectious. While I have not seen you in recent years, it sounds like he continued to brighten people's lives and was so accomplished at such a young age.  I wish you moments of peace in your grief and know that his legacy will live on through both of you.

It is heartbreaking imagining the world without  Justin.  I have such wonderful memories of him in our advisory program.  In one of the sessions we were creating a social capital map, that is mapping out all the people we know who help, mentor and can teach us something.  At that time Justin wanted to learn to cook, and he was sharing all of his family and extended  family members who were showing him different ways to cook things, and how he was valuing these relationships.  He had such a big heart and beautiful essence.  I miss him.
