Happy Heavenly Birthday  Dustin!
We all love you and will be longing for you, as long as we are living.
The promise of God's word, it reassures us, that when we get to Heaven, We will all know each other, as we did while on earth.
It gives us hope, as We know the Lord is with us always.
You are in my heart and thoughts today, as you are   and have been everyday, since you left us.
I pray over your sweet Moma, as her days are long and hard without you, as well as your brother's and myself. We all miss you dearly,  We will see you again, Dustin! Continue to watch over us all, and protect us, like the Angel's do!
I love you very much, and remember the sweet times, the happy times and all of our sweet loving memories everyday! It carries us through.

I love you so much my sweet Dustin!         Momma

Happy Valentine's Day in Heaven my Dear DearDustin!  I keep thinking about the Valentine's Day in 1987! You came and met your Tyler Brother. I saved my candy and Valentines cake for you that the hospital sent on my tray. Your Dad was there and the Daytona Race was on. You couldn't stop looking at our new baby! You were so sweet and you fell in love with him at that moment!
Yall were very close, and we made the fondest memories from that moment on. The sweetest thing that you said..will be with me forever. I asked you " Are you excited about your brother being here?" You replied " I have been UPSIDED!". Never will we forget that moment!
We will never understand why you had to go to Heaven, we needed you with us!! I hope you can hear me, when we talk. I miss your smile and sweetness. 
Please keep a watchful eye on all of us. I hope you know just how much we love and miss you.. nothing will ever be the same.

I will love you and miss you forever!

We wish so much that you were here! It is hard to believe that you would be 36! There is so much that I wish you could know about, your "Tyler Brother" is getting married! I ask every day, why you had to leave us? I will never understand, but I know where you are, and it comforts us. We will never get over losing you.
Happy Birthday Dustin, I know our Lord has you , but all of our earthly days, you are remembered and loved!

Happy Birthday in heaven my sweet son! I wish so bad you were here, and I could buy you a great big ice cream cake! I know how much you loved ice cream cake, and we had done that so many years.I have to remember that you are in heaven and nothing earthly is as important as being with God! I know this... but I still miss you every minute of my life. I love you so much! Tammy and Isaiah really miss you too,I talked to them earlier! You have so many people that will always love you and you will never be replaced in their lives.

Hey brother. You would have been another year older today but we know you ain't ageing in Heaven anymore. We miss you everyday that goes by. I know you are celebrating your big day with the Lord. Happy Birthday my brother  (son). I love you man and I'll see you again.

I love you my precious baby boy, and I have missed you so much this Christmas! I know you are having a beautiful Christmas in heaven! I can only imagine what you are seeing sitting at the feet of Jesus! We still miss you here on earth so much. So many have remembered you this holiday season, and have shared their memories. You were a wonderful man,and gave so much love to others. I miss you so bad everyday of my life, and with every beat of my heart. I can't wait to see your smiling face at heavens gates someday. I'll never have to let you go again, and we will spend eternity with God. Merry Christmas in heaven! I love you!         Momma

Hey bubba. Another Christmas without you and we still miss you like it was the first one. I know you are celebrating it big in Heaven. I miss you so much. I know I don't talk as much but I know you understand. I love you brother. One day we will celebrate His birthday in Heaven together.

My sweet Dustin...I miss you so much! It's Christmas Eve again and you are not here. I used to love Christmas Eve, because we were always here together. That always meant so much to me. I always loved watching you open your presents! I miss you so much and those memories will live in my heart forever! I know Christmas in heaven is beautiful, and you are there with your Savior! I love you so very much!    Momma

Merry Christmas in Heaven, Dustin! The sites you are seeing must take your breath away. Although, we can not get over losing you! My mind has been reminiscing all the years and Christmastimes , I had you in my life and being your stepmother brought many joys , love laughter. 
I will always hear in my heart, the sweet things you would say. Oh , how we loved to bake cookies, and always saved a plate for Santa and your Moma.
Life has never been the same for your Brother's and I, we cry often.
Tyler has a tree and I bought lights, so tonight the love from your Brother's will shine all night. 
Keep us safe and look down on us with your smile, and protect us.
We love and miss you so very much!

I miss you so much on Thanksgiving my precious son, your and Pops chair's will never be filled. I love you so much!        Momma

I love you so,so much my precious son! I miss you so much! I miss your voice and all of our talks! You were so smart, & it hurts me so bad that your life was cut so short. You helped many, and you were a true friend.You were very family oriented, and really stood by the one's you loved. You were a wonderful man!  You had that infectious laugh and smile that could light up the whole room! I remember seeing you doubled over laughing! I will never forget your precious voice. The best gift in life is accepting Jesus as your savior with the assurance of going to heaven to spend eternity with him and the ones you love! The second best gift God gave me was you,and the opportunity to be your mother! You have my heart with you son, and it will remain there until I see you at heavens gate's. I love you & miss you with every heartbeat.             Momma

Hey my brother. It's been three years since u left this earth and it seems like yesterday.  I miss you each and every day. I'm sorry I don't write and visit your burial sight much but I know u understand. You and me are the same in that way as we like to remember the good times and not the sad. I'm taking good care of your mama. Until the day I see you again. I love you and miss you my son.

I can still hear your precious voice, and the sweetest things you would say. You are in our hearts forever, and will always be, while we are on our earthly stay.
The animals here would capture your love, that was your special touch!
On earth, God used your special love and you gave them all so much!
Not one day  passes by , that your Brother's and I , don't wish that you were here. But oh the chores you have upstairs, making sure God's animals are safe and in your care.

We miss and love you so very much! Our promise is, we will see you again.
So, in the meantime , please watch over us and protect your Family.

I miss you so so much! I love you forever my precious baby! Time does not heal this hurt, only God's help day by day.       Momma

I miss you so much my sweet baby boy! Life will never be the same with you gone on ahead of me. I just go through the motions each day,my real meaning for life is gone. But this earth is not my home, my home is in heaven!  I can't wait to see you at heavens gates. I love you so much!         Momma

Dustin, we have had you in our hearts and thoughts every day since you left us. We could have never  have been prepared. Your Brother's and I have the happiest memories from many "summertime vegetable pickings", at Robertson's Farms. Mainly, around July 4th. Y'all always helped pick, but would always find the old Tomatoes and have good ole fashioned tomatoes fights! Then, the cool water from the irrigation to rinse it all away. 
After we got all of our vegetables home, You, Heather, Brad, Mat and your Brother's would help me shuck the Corn, snap the Beans and shell the Lima's. We made hard work fun!
Often times, you and I would go to Winn Dixie and you picked out what you wanted us to eat. You would ask for a Pound Cake, and I would make it. We would have it with strawberries and whipped cream. You always made me feel good, because you enjoyed everything I cooked for you. 
It was the same with Nanny Brunson, she made special cookies for you. I am sure you have seen her by now, please tell her about Richard, and tell her I miss her more everyday.
Dustin, we loved you so much and I hope you felt just how much we did love you. Tyler called you Dustin Brother, and you were his heart, and Richard's too.
You taught us to always be kind, and treat each other with respect , because you left us with no warning.
You taught us that harsh words can not be erased, and to say I Love You!
We miss you so much and wish you were here. We love you!

I miss you so so much on Mother's Day! I miss you with every beat of my heart, and every breath I take! I wish I could put my arms around you and tell you how much I love you and how empty my life is without you! You were my baby and always would have been regardless how old you became. That's the bond between a mother & son. I love you my precious son.          Momma

My precious son I miss you in my life so much everyday. So many things I want to talk to you about, and tell you. You were always the one  I wanted to sit down and talk to about things. I cannot wait till the day I get to heaven ! We will both be with our savior forever & will never be separated again. It has been so hard being separated from you. You were my only child and a precious one.I know you ask me about a year before you left what I thought of the man you had become, and I told you - you have become a wonderful young man! You overcame a lot ,and changed the way you thought. You were an awesome young man! It just hurts me so much that your precious life was  so short. I know you belonged to God,you were his child, and he gave me the awesome privilege of being your mom on this earth. Thank you God for my son! I know you've had the privilege of seeing that little baby of yours in heaven.I can just see you smiling, you always wanted a child so much! I love you Dustin! We will all be together again someday!

Hey bubba. Them Tigers did it. They won the national championship. 6 seconds to go and they made it happen. Bet that made you smile. I wish you were here to watch it with me. We miss you so much. I miss your awesome laugh and crazy sense of humor. I will see you one day when the Lord calls me Home. Until then know that I love you and miss you everyday.

Happy Birthday in heaven my precious son !  I love you and miss you so much! I just wish so bad I could give you a big hug and kiss. Someday I will be able to...so all I can do is hold on to that promise from our Savior. We'll be together on birthdays again someday,and for all eternity. Momma loves you!

It is almost your Birthday, but nothing on earth could compare to your glorious days in Heaven. We have been looking at so many pictures and remembering all the fun times. Tyler made a pretty tree for you at Christmas, and did such a good job! You would have been so proud. The lights stayed lite for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. We miss and love you so much. Wishing every day, that you were here. You will forever be in our tears and hearts.

Hey bro. It's the start of another year. Not the same without you. It still seems like just yesterday that you left us. I miss you everyday. Your tigers won their playoff game. They're on the way to the championship again. I hope they beat Alabama this time. I'll be cheering them on. I love you and miss you. Talk to you later brother.

Merry Christmas my sweet son in Heaven! The Bible says the first will be last, and the last will be first in the kingdom of Heaven! You had a hard life on this earth, as many of us have.But you have a heavenly father that loves you and I hope he has you very busy with many important jobs for his glory! You always had a huge heart, and truly cared for others. I love you dearly son, and your memory lives on in so many hearts on this earth and always will.

I miss you so bad my precious son. It's Christmas Eve again and you are not here. I wish so much you were...things are so unfinished. I know where you are...you wouldn't want to come back.I'm sure I won't want to come back either once I get there, but that dose not heal the hole in my heart & the continuous pain I feel everyday of my life right now. I can't wait to see you ,pops,and our precious little grandmother waiting at Heavens Gates someday.I love you all dearly, and miss you so much! Momma loves you forever Dustin!

I love you my precious son! I miss you...life is so lonely without you.          Momma

Thinking about you, like I do most everyday.
Remembering your sweetness, and all the joy you gave. I can still hear your sweet voice and the many funny things that you said.
Praying today, for your Mom and Dad's broken hearts. Truly, she was the greatest Mom in the world. 
It was a privilege to be your Stepmom, I have every gift that you gave me, and every picture.
I miss you Dustin,  and will love you forever.

My only comfort is knowing you and Pops are with God in heaven, and I will be there someday. I love you forever!         Momma

Everyday is a lifetime without you, hard to get through, since you've gone. Doing the only thing, we know how too, saying a prayer and talking to you. 
We know you are an Angel that protects and guides us, in the midst of a storm. Protecting us from harm.
We cling to God's Hope and we Trust him, that we will be with you again.
You are greatly missed and loved, your brothers and I have broken hearts, but we find comfort and peace, that God has you in his tenderness and there is no sorrow and pain.
You are forever loved, in our minds and hearts.

Miss you so much but I know you and Pops are marveling at the beauties of Christmas in heaven.

To my precious son...I made it through another Christmas Eve without you. It is so hard...that was such a special time for us. I put your beautiful angel that you always put on top of the tree right beside your picture along with your favorite ornament-the cup with the mouse family. I miss you so much. I miss seeing you open your presents. I know heaven is beautiful and you are now happy,safe and sound. As much as I miss you and Pops- I wouldn't have you come back to this old world.It hasn't changed...it gets worse by the day,and wiil  continue until Jesus comes back,which I hope is soon. As for now I know you and Pops are sheltered in the arms of God. I love you and Pops,Merry Christmas in heaven! I know both of you will be with us today.I love you forever!      Momma

Well brother, Another Christmas is here and it still hurts that ur not here with us. I know that yall are having a wonderful celebration on Jesus' birthday. There cant be any better place to spend Christmas. We will celebrate together one of these days. Until then brother I love you and miss you. Godspeed my brother

Merry Christmas, in Heaven! You are in our hearts  and thoughts every day.

Your mom and dad, me and Brenda stopped and visited you and Pops after Christmas Eve services tonight. We all tried so hard to light candles....the wind wouldn't corporate, which led all of us to laugh and talk about you both. So many memories... I listened to so many different stories...and as much as it hurt, the stories will keep you here with all the ones that really, REALLY loved you...

I hope and pray you somehow looked down and saw the Christmas Isaiah had.... He misses you so much...he's a great kid. We all enjoyed him spending Christmas with us.
You and Pops are loved and missed....

Baby you are so so missed! I just wished I could hear your sweet voice again.I miss our conversations so much. I wish I could hug you again and tell you what a a wonderful son you were. I miss you so bad

My Sweet Dustin,
Last night I opened a box and every card for every Holiday was there. You had doodled flowers and happy faces, but signed every one with" I love you!"  It made my cry when all those sweet moments came back to my mind. I remember the last time I saw you, we ate and talked at my house.
You have taught us a life lesson, just how quickly our time on earth is. To always be kind and help others. 
Our lives will never be the same without you. Knowing you have seen our Fathers face and you are singing with the Angels is comfort. Christmas was your favorite time of the year, and you are living in our hearts, until we see you again. I love you . Merry Christmas in Heaven

Dustin you just could not even begin to imagine how deeply I miss you.There's  a hole in my heart that never heals. I love you so much son and long to see you again.     Momma

Dustin you and Pops are missed so so much for Thanksgiving. It's not the same without you and Pops at the table.It never will be. No one can ever fill either one of your seats, but one by one our family circle will be completed again. What a joyful reunion it will be. You were such a special son,and Pops was a wonderful father. I miss you both dearly.    Momma

You are missed so deeply by so many.I have talked to several of your friends this week. They all miss you so bad. They all said you were such a dear friend.You were my son and my best friend.I miss you so much,you were always there for me.You had my back.You will always be in my heart forever.I love you precious Dustin.                 Momma

I love and miss you so much! Life will never be the same. I know your dancing with the Angels, and looking over us. Your Nanny loved you so much, I know you have seen her by now. Pops came along last month, so you must be very busy. Christmas in Heaven will be a joyous place to be, living is truly the hard part. Never, will you be forgotten. You will live in our hearts until we see you again

I miss you so much my precious baby! Life just seems so empty without you...Godspeed. Momma loves you!
