Dana Farber Marathon Challenge

This Monday our friend Mike Doherty will be running the Boston Marathon for Dana Farber Cancer Institute again, this will be his 5th year running for DFCI. He will be running in Justin's memory this year. I attached a link below to an article about Mike and his fund raising efforts.

On Sunday, some of us will be going into Boston for the Pasta Party, which is held the day before the big race.

Hard to believe it's been almost 10 months since I lost my son to this horrible disease. Life is not the same without him here. I LOVE YOU JUSTIN, WITH ALL MY HEART!! We're having a spring cleanup day at the cemetery soon...we plan on landscaping and planting some bushes & plants to make Justin's resting place the most beautiful at Pinecrest. Casey continues to do well, and remains busy with school and her extra curricular activities. She's been attending "Good Grief," a class through HHHC for children who have lost a loved one. She likes the class a lot and told me last night she wished it wouldn't end (there's 3 more classes left.) There's a 12 year old boy in her class that lost his older brother about a year ago. Casey enjoys his company and they share some laughs together, which is nice to hear.

Thank you for continuing to keep Justin's memory alive and well...

~ Jeff

Marathon Monday

Hi Angel Justin! Yesterday was the 112th Boston Marathon. You were on my mind constantly. It is hard for me to believe that 2 years ago during my first marathon you were at home cheering me on and providing me with good wishes. You were on my mind and running with me in spirit yesterday. You are always in my heart my little boyfriend and I miss you like crazy!
lots of love
~Kristina

Thinking of you

Always thinking of you all. Thank you Jeff for updating. I am always so amazed by the courage and strength all of you have had in the past and continue to have. About a month ago, Sammie asked me if Justin had gotten all of his vaccinations. I'm not sure what made him think of that. I wonder sometimes how often our children think about what happened to Justin and other people we have known in our lives that have passed on and how they process such diffifcult information. It was an interesting question and I am grateful for the discussion. We think about Justin and all of you often. Because of you and others who have suffered like you, we try to be more aware and are so thankful for each day that we have...

with love,
Kim, Guy, Ben, Sammie and Isabella

1 Year

Well Justin, it has been a year today that you left us to go home.. I still can not understand why you had to leave. Why you got so sick and why it ended the way it did are questions someday I fully intend to ask God one day...Until then, I can only miss you and think of you all the time. I do not feel like it has gotten any better as the time has past. It hurts as much today as it did this time last year. You would be so proud of your family. Your sister Casey is so beautiful and special and she seems to be doing well. I know how much she misses you. Your Grammy Sue and I talk everyday and we talk about you a lot. Take care of yourself Sweetie and I will see you again one day.........................I love you, Auntie Anne
