"If I Have Learned Nothing Else From Justin, I Have Learned To never Lose Faith"

When one thinks of resilience, strength and perserverance, many things may come to mind; for me, I think of Justin Izlar… I will ALWAYS remember his laughter and nurturing spirit. I would come to visit and he would try and cater to me like I was a guest... (Everyone knows, one visit to the Izlars and you are no longer a guest, you are FAMILY)!!! I also remember how me, Justin and Quentin would be break dancing in the middle of the kitchen for no reason, LOL...Despite all of his struggles he never lost his faith or his trust in God; he saw the bigger picture. He was one you could not help but to love. He is my hero...

Justin could never have imagined the lives he would touch just by being in his presence. If I have learned nothing else from Justin, I have learned to never lose faith and to always keep a victorious mindset. Although Justin is no longer with us in the physical sense, his legacy will continue to live on in every single one of us that he has touched. I am thankful for the time I got to spend with Justin and I thank God for sharing one of his precious Angels with us… Thank you Justin for EVERYTHING you have shared with us and like you said, you are living the life on your "Great Vacation."

Miss and Love U!!!
