I am home in Heaven, dear ones; Oh, so happy and so brigjt. There is a perfect joy and beauty in this everlasting light. All the pain and greif is over. Every restless tossing passed; I am now at peace forever, safely home in heaven at last.Did you wonder I so calmly Trod the valley of the shade? Oh, but jesus' love illuminated Every dark and fearful glade. And He came Himself to meet me in the way so hard to tread; And with Jesus' arm to lean on could I have one fought or dread?Then you must not grieve so sorely for I love you dearly still. Try to look beyond deaths shadows; pray to trust our father will.There is still waiting for you, so you must not idly remaineth; you shall rest in Jesus' landWhen that work is all completed, He will gently call you home. Oh, the rapture of that meeting; Oh, the joy to see you come! Amen with love for y'all!!
We love you guys & we will always be here when you need us!-The Woods

And I will miss you cleaning out my fridge cause you didn't want me to throw anything away..lol and I don't get to fry you no more chicken.. you bragged saying it was the best you've ever had. I miss you Dustynn and I only wish I could see what your seeing right this very moment. soon we all will meet again. Until we do meet again..I know what your doing..playing monopoly and praising God. Love and miss ya..see you soon!!
My Dust,I can't imagine a day without you, let alone a lifetime. You took my heart with you the day you were taken. I know His ways are not our ways but I can't understand why He would take you from our precious baby girl. You were the best daddy to her. I will tell her everyday how much you love her. We still had so many plans and dreams left, in a way we were just getting started. Like Uncle Pat said "if I was God and was picking players for my team I'd pick him too"You were always my pick, every time…Ordinary no, really don't think so, not a love this true. Common destiny, we were meant to be, me and you. I love you so very much, Your Tiny Always

Carrie, I am so sorry for all that you are going through. Even though I never met your husband he sounded like an amazing man!My thoughts and prayers are with you and your sweet children. BIG HUGS!
Dustynn was like family to me. We were friends for 12 years. You all will be in my heart and thoughts forever.
Dustynn,33 years ago today I gave birth to you. My beautiful baby that became a wonderful, loving, young man that will forever be in my heart and dreams. My heart aches with every breath I take not having you here on earth with us. I never knew there could be a pain so excruciating, nor that I would ever feel so lost and empty. In your short time here you touched so many lives, brought so much love and joy. You never attempted anything that you did not give 150% or more of yourself. I try with all my might to focus on the beautiful memories you have given us for 32 years as well as your beautiful family. Your life was much too short and you had so many more dreams to fulfill. I ask why each day knowing there are no answers. I do know that you are in heaven watching over each and every one of us. I pray each day to see you soon. I love you!!!!! Mom
Do I still love the rain like we use to?Yesterdays rain was so lonely. The memory of us sleeping at the other end of the bed so we can watch the storm is just too much. I have come to accept that you arent coming home. If I linger on that realization for longer than a moment it makes me ill. It still seems impossible yet my heart realizes its true. The tears no longer flow constant, they come and go. It is my heart that cries continuously for all that is lost…my dearest friend, my deepest love. You were the best of me.

It's been 6 months today…6 months since I heard the words I love you, since I last kissed you and told you goodbye, thinking it was only for the day not knowing it was for the rest of my life. In some ways it feels like forever and yet at the same time only days. Every second is filled with the pain of longing for you, wishing you were here with us. Wishing you could see how much our daughter has grown, and guide Austin through college and me, just sharing each day of our lives together, in whatever that may hold. I'll always wonder why but in my heart I know it is ultimately for the glory of our Savior. And though it does not make it any easier, it gives me hope for our eternity. I'll love you even more tomorrow…
