My children and I attended Justin's funeral and we are deeply saddened by his death. My daughter Ashley was very close to Justin and she is having a difficult time dealing with it. I want to thank you for your sacrifice Justin, you were a great kid, a great grandson and son, and a wonderful brother to Will. It was terrific to see the way you were honored by the Military Honor Guard....how touching.. God Bless You and your family.. Rick,Ashley & Jordin Jackson ** Rest in Peace **
