I am deeply sorry for your loses. I knew Justin we were in Consumer Ec together when he was a Junior. He always knew how to make someone laugh. I had not known anyone in the class but he made me feel like a part of the class.

DEBBIE,

I, wish there was something that could be said, nothing and no one can take away the pain you and your family are going through. But you know we are all there for you. weather it is a shoulder to cry on, an ear to bend, even to shout at to release any kept in anger. I also have two sons I feel the fear you are expierancing everyday. My prayers are with you Deb and I will be here if you need someone to yell at when you come back to work. You know how it is with us therapist we always piss someone off.
