    Justin, my grandson's funeral services and viewing were tonight in FL from 6-8pm so it is over by now and my son and his wife have seen their son for the last time on earth. I wish I could have been there but I will always remember him by the laughing and thoughtful boy that he was. He was always wanting to help people out, with anything he could do.
