Our son, Justin Jones

[Dayna Jones]

For several months I've been one of those pesky lurkers, laughing at some of the topics, getting a little bit miffed at others, but most of the time enjoying the different views expressed here. So many times I would hit the register now and then change my mind. I even tried to think of a real catchy "name" to post under but I'm not very creative so, I'm just here as myself, Dayna Jones.

When I saw the thread regarding the death of our son Justin, I had to join and tell all of the AFF Family, thank you for your prayers through this horrible nightmare that we've been in. The tragic passing of Justin would have been bad enough but then hurricane Ike came through and the viewing and funeral service had to be postponed due to the power loss and the damage in the Houston/Humble area.

Please keep our beautiful daughter in-law Misti, in your prayers. Justin also leaves behind a gorgeous little 9 month old daughter, Madison Joy. Right now we are all leaning on the prayers of our extended Family of God.

For those of you who knew Justin, you knew that he did not enjoy the ordinary and as his dad said at Justin and Misti's wedding, "Justin, you don't march to a different drummer, you march to the beat your own drum". His passion for life, his deep love for Misti and Madison and his desire to witness to everyone he came in contact with will be missed and there will forever be a void in our lives but his passing renews our faith that we will see him again and in my opinion, the sooner the better!

Thank you for allowing me to share just a tiny bit of my heart with you, my new AFF family!
