IIIDustin’s story

Dustin was loving and outgoing, with a big heart. He was very protective of his mom.

When he was about 6, he came out of her bedroom and asked, “Mom, don’t I smell good?” She told him perfume is for girls and cologne is for boys. “Nope, I like perfume,” he said.

For Dustin, “family comes first.” He taught his mom unconditional love.

She misses his face, his smile, his kindness, his voice, “everything about him.”

“Just how much he impacted my life and how much I miss him and love him so so much.”

What she wrote to him

She asked for a tender, healing song for her son. Now she wants to put together the most important memories of him for a second one.
