The Dustin parents, family and friend;
I am heartbroken! I do not know your son, however,it saddened me to hear of his loss. I feel your pain as a parent. I loss my son a year ago. The pain eases with time, just never goes away. May God wrap each arms each and everyone of you as you begin to grieve your loss. God needed another angel, so he called your son home. Both our sons are now beaming down on us. My thoughts and prayers are with the entire family. Dustin, rest in peace, little man. Watch down on your family and keep them safe.

As a substitute you see the true side of your students. Dustin would always talk about the most off the wall things in my classroom, but it was okay because he would always get a laugh out of us no matter how boring or dry the content I was trying to teach.
From all of this all I can say is I'm sorry for your loss, but atleast he has his best friend to stand by him.

Dear Mary & Family: I wont say I know how you feel because I dont. What I will say is that Mary you were one of my biggest supports when my family lost Josiah. Though this does not compare, know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. I didnt know Dustin, but I suspect from what I have been reading he was a very special young man. You now have an angel to watch over you and your family to protect you. I know that doesnt help much right now, but in the coming days it may. Mary, Eric and Rona I am here for any of you if you ever need a shoulder to cry on, an ear to just listen or someone to just sit by.

Tears
If tears could build a stairway,
and memories a lane,
I'd walk right up to heaven
and bring you home again.
No farwell words were spoken
no time to say goodbye
You were gone before I knew it,
and only God knows why.
My heart still aches with sadness
and secret tears still flow,
what it meant to lose you,
no one will ever know.
We are so very sorry for your loss. Dustin will live in our heart forever.

A Child of Mine
I'll lend you for a little time,
A child of mine, God Said.
For you to love the while he lives
And mourn for when he's dead.
It may be six or seven weeks,
Or thirty years or three,
But will you, till I call him back,
Take real good care of him for me?
He'll bring his charm to gladden you
And should his stay be brief,
You'll have his lovely memories,
As solace for your grief.
I cannot promise he will stay
Since all from earth return,
Burt there are lessons taught down there
I want this child to learn.
I've looked the wide world over,
In my search for teachers true,
And from the throngs
Who crown life's way, I have selected you.
Now will you give him all your love,
Nor think the labor vain,
Nor hate me when I call around,
To take him back again?
I fancy that I hear you say,
"Dear Lord, thy will be done,
For all the joy the Child has wrought
All faithful risks we run,
We sheltered him with tenderness,
We loved him while we may,
And for the happiness we've known,
We shall forever grateful stay.
But you came round to call for him
Much sooner than we'd planned-
Dear Lord, forgive our grief,
And help us understand."
Edgar A. Guest
Your in Our Thoughts and Prayers! Love you !

- David,We all have searched to find the right words to say to you at this time. You know the right coioinatmbn of words that will sound good and that will bring you great comfort during this time of loss. But you know full well that we can only speak from our hearts. Sometimes the words may not be as well articulated, but you know it's real and knowing you as I do, you will consider that of more value than any words we could trump together. Growing up, I used to think that when people spoke about life after death, it was just a way for them to deal with things they didn't understand. It wasn't true, it was just a coping mechanism. Then I came to know the Lord and realized it's not just something we tell ourselves. It's the living, breathing truth. There is more to it than just this three score and ten. Your grandmother is not sick anymore. She's not suffering anymore. She's whole now. Your grandmother is now experiencing the wonder of eternity with the Lord Jesus. She possesses the hope that we long for. Revelation 21:4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. Revelation 1:18 I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death. May the Lord be your strength during this time. And trust that we are here for you my brother. Straight up. You don't even have to wonder about that.
