Let us not forget the impressions and gifts this young mand gave to each of us. And, let us live our lives a little better and fuller than before. Mike would want this for us! I will remember my son Justin, with love & hard work, to keep his memory alive and make his short life an inspiration for others. Mom |
I am of the opinion that my life belongs to the whole community and as long as I can live, it is my privilege to do for it whatever I can. I want to be thoroughly used up when I die, for the harder I work, the more I live. I rejoice in life for its own sake. Life is no "brief candle" to me. It is a splendid torch which I have got hold of for the moment and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations. George Bernard Shaw |
Quotes from Michael Justin, as a young boy from his writings... About people getting along, "A lot of times people don't understand someone else who is different. Sometimes we are afraid of what we don't understand." My boy understood. About his plans: "The most important par of my big plans is to be kind and generous to my fellow mankind." He lived this one! |

To My Son, Thank you from your mother! You gave me joy, you taught me how to love, you made me proud, & you shared so much with me & your Dad of your wisdom. We love you! |
I give you this one thought to keep - I am with you still, I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow I am the diamond glint on snow I am the sunlight on ripened grain. I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in morning's hush, I am the swift, uplifting rush of quiet birds in circled flight, I am the soft stars that shine at night. Do not think of me as gone I am will you still, in each new dawn. Native American Prayer |
