Dustin,
Wow, A year. It is so hard to believe that you are gone. I remember all of the random texts you use to send me just out of no where. I keep waiting for one of those to pop up again. Most of your family don’t know me, I know they are probably wondering who I am. It is sad that they never got to meet me. I love you Dustin and I hope I get to see you again some day.
Love,
Giggles.
Dustin, (4-7-11)
I miss you soo much! Seeing your son grow so fast really makes me wish you were here for him! He will know about you! I think about you often I still have my moments when it comes to you! I am sorry it took me so long to finally write something it is just so hard to actually think that you are no longer bringing people together! And yes I am still watching over Raylyn! I can’t believe it has been almost a year. As of right now Dustin Jr. is 11 lbs 10 oz. I can see a lot of you in him. Please look over him! I will always love and miss you!
Love Always and Forever,
Kendra

There are no words to describe your pain, especially loosing a child, I just want you to know I remember him when he was born; grew up with you all… and last time I seen him was in Woolley he was on the street talking to his friends.. My heart goes out to the whole families and to all Dustin’s friends and people who cared for him so much & all the young kids knew him too. And I think it is great what his family is doing for him…He would be proud! In our prayers forever
