Justin, you gave me a single rose when we were together, and now I am giving you a single rose, because we are still together. I love you "My Favorite Justin".

Dear Rhiannon,
May God grant you peace and comfort in the loss of your boyfriend and his buddies. What a tragic loss of so many young people. My grandson's name is Justin Lee also. He has been the main reason I have been able to go on since his uncle died. My oldest son has a memorial here too. Remember people have you in their prayers and thoughts.

Justin, it's been three weeks today honey, and it seems like forever. Each day without you seems like a year. My days go by so slowly knowing when I get home after work, you won't be there to talk to. As you know, your mom told me about Amber's dream, and I really hope that what you told her is true, I hope you really are happy now. And I'm so sorry that I am still hurting for you, I know you said you don't want that, but Justin, you don't know what it's like to lose someone like this that you love SO much. I know now that you do know what I do and that you are the one watching over me, and I thank you so much for that, for making me feel that you are still with me and that you still care about me. I'll be waiting to see you in my dreams again, I love you Justin, don't you ever forget that if you see me and it seems like I've moved on, your the one that's always on my mind and in my heart. I'll be with you someday, although today wouldn't be soon enough. Wait for me baby and we can finally be happy together "forever".
I LOVE YOU SO MUCH "MY FAVORITE JUSTIN"
Love,
Rhiannon

Baby I been thinking a lot about you today. Tomorrow I'm going to go get your things from your mom and to watch movies of you. I hope that you're with me tomorrow and all of us there, cuz I don't know if I can stand seeing you on tv so real and knowing I'm never gonna see you in person again. You know, Mel told me, you can't expect to cry forever for something, but I've been thinking, isn't your life worth more than a few days of tears? Justin please realize and know that I love you. Even if I don't cry everyday, I think about you everyday. Almost every minute of everyday. Everything I do, is still for you. So please, be with me and your mom and Amber tomorrow and watch over me when I'm going home, cuz I know it's gonna hurt all over again seeing you and I'll be crying as bad as before. I love you babe more than life itself.
Love you,
Rhiannon

Justin~
I found this and it seemed so appropriate for how I feel for you...
A Life Lost-
I have lost a life-Not my own.
but it would have been easier to have lost my own life than to have lost the life I loved more than my own.
I love you Sweetie~

In Memory~
When I must leave you for a little while
Please do not grieve and shed wild tears
And hug your sorrow to you through the years.
But start out bravely with a galliant smile
And for my sake and in my name
Live on and do all things the same
Feed not your loneliness on empty days,
but fill each waking hour in useful ways,
reach out your hand in comfort and cheer
And I in turn will comfort you and hold you near
And never, never be afraid to die,
For I am waiting for you in the Sky!
-From Justin's handout at his funeral on November 4, 1998

Justin-
I want you to know that I am sorry for being so angry at you a couple days ago. I'm sure you know that I didn't mean all things I said. I do love you and I only felt that way because it hurts so much. I'm leaving soon to your mom's house, thank you for helping me find it today. Now is the perfect time Justin, we'll all be together, to let us know what we need to know. I know I'll be praying that you choose tonight as the time to tell us. I love you.
Rhiannon

Happy Thanksgiving Justin. You know, this might prove to you that I you are important to me still. I write you almost everyday. God, if I wrote you everytime I thought of you, this site would be a million pages long. I want you to know that I really liked seeing your mom and Amber. I noticed the things that you all did the same. Now knowing why you were driving, I am so proud of you. And I am so glad that you died helping people, like you always did. It makes me feel alot better knowing you were not drinking. And I'm sure Jeff and Jason and Shaun and Justin are glad that they got to with such a wonderful person. And I know one day, I'm gonna get to be with you again, only this time forever. And I'm so excited to see you and tell you face to face how much I love you and that you are everything somebody could ask for. I'm sure you know what I'm talking about when I wonder if there's storms in Heaven. And if there is we just might have to light some candles and find some whip cream :) Baby you know what I'm talking about and I read that all the time. And it reminds me how funny you were. And for once, I can smile when I think of you, and really be happy. I'll see you soon honey, I love you forever.

A Poem To Justin~
I gave you my love,
and you showed no fear.
We grew even closer,
as the end drew near.
You were a pillar of stregth,
you fought my pain.
Though your end was a struggle so futile,
as a candle in the rain.
We'll hold each other again,
when my purpose here is served.
You gave me more love,
than anyone deserves.
With your passing from this plain,
my new journey starts.
But you'll always maintain,
a place in my heart.
-Rhiannon
I love you my favorite Justin.

Another poem to Justin...
I Miss You~
I truly miss you,
always wondering what you would do.
From day to day it's hard to stay,
here on Earth without you.
I truly miss you.
Did it have to be,
and if so- I just can't see,
the purpose for taking you from me.
What should I do?
I truly miss you.
It must be wrong,
you were far too strong.
Our hearts together a love filled song.
My days are cloudy through and through,
and my nights are long without you.
I truly miss you.
My heart cries out to be with you.
A warm embrace, a kiss so true.
I need an answer or at least a clue.
My soul is dying, my heart is too.
Justin, I truly miss you.
-Rhiannon

My Little Angel~
Hiding behind the corner,
surviving in my mind,
is a little one,
who stands right behind.
I know if I look hard enough,
right behind my back,
I'll look to find,
it seems to say,
Justin, my little angel, looking back.
-Rhiannon
I love you

Honey I had a dream about you last night. It was really nice seeing you, but it hurt when I woke up. You would of liked it if you were here to tell you. I dreamed I was pregnant with twins, yours. And there was a girl and a boy and when we took them home from the hospital I kept having more and more. We ended up having like 5 at once. And you were the best dad to them. I know you would have been. I know how you loved kids and you were so good with them. I seen your baby pictures, and you would have had the cutest babies Justin. It's sad to think that you are never going to have some of the things that all people deserve. Mel told me what you told Jill and that really broke my heart. Justin if you would have told me or called me and said if I didn't go you were going with them, you know I would have taken you. I wish I would have, I wish I could turn back time exactly one month from now. I would be talking to you just about now and you would be asking me again to go. I keep thinking it should have been different, I should have known by your voice that you needed me that night. I shouldn't have waited so long. There is so many things that shouldn't have been. I really believe in God now Justin, and that's because of you. And I think it is making me a better person. I'm nice now to almost everyone. I really changed since you left me. I don't want to hurt anyone anyway ever again, and I know that is impossible, but at least I'm trying right? Being with you changed my whole life. And I think you knew you needed to be with me, to help me through the problems I was having, and I don't know if I could have made it without you. I owe you my life for that, and if I could I would give it to you. You don't realize how important you are to me and so many other people. Your death has given me a whole new light on things. Don't get me wrong, I'd give all these new things in my life back in an instant if it meant having you here. I think you would be proud of me at how I'm doing overall. Today is your anniversary of one month, and I still have the most powerful feelings for you. I've never had that before. I think it's because I can feel your love and I don't have to be embarrassed or shy saying how I love you. You take care of yourself up there for me baby, I don't want anything to happen to you before I get you again, you got that? I'm thinking about you,
Love,
Rhiannon

Justin I know that you knew what I was thinking today, and what I wanted to do, I'm going to get help for that. I believe that my changing feelings is a sign from you. Everything is so hard right now. Justin if you only have a chance to watch over me once, please make it now. I really need your help with this. You helped me before and made me feel better, and now I have no one to do that. I'm really scared, but I'm trying to win because of you. I'm going to prove that they can't get away with this, I know they screwed you over, and I'm not gonna let them do it to me. I'm sure everyone that reads this is going to wonder what I'm talking about, but you know and that's all that counts. I have no idea what I'm going to do about this, I counted on you to tell me that. I want you to ignore what some people say about you ok? They just don't know you and know how much I love you. Besides, we're better then them. We got each other and that's more then they'll ever have. You actually have to feel sorry for people who don't care about others, they don't know how wonderful it is to have a love like yours. Them people must not have ever met someone as special as you that has made them a better person, like you have for me. I have to go now babe, I'll talk to you soon.
Love you forever,
Rhiannon

With the death of a loved one, the pain and unanswered questions seem to be unbearable. Love is a powerful thing which connects us to those whom mean something to us. Justin left many behind and all that remains are memories and a love that will not cease. I'm sure Justin wouldn't want you to be flooded in sorrow. He probably never liked seeing you sad. I wish the best for you Rhiannon and I hope that your heart will find peace.
Sincerely,
Steve Plummer

Justin I want to thank you so much for helping be get better. It's taken a lot of time, but I am starting to see the positives and forget all the bad things. I went out to the accident and I know that it is not your fault at all. Where you came onto the road, there was no signs and no way at all that you could have told. I'm actually going out tonight for the first time. With Mel, watch over us k? I know we'll be thinking of you and stuff for you. You know what I mean. And thank you so much Justin for helping us through this stuff right now. You always were the only one who could reasure us and make us always feel better about everything, and I know that you are helping now also. You take care of yourself hon, I love you always.
Love,
Rhiannon

Hi Justin. Well, it's Saturday, you know what that day means. I had a really fun time last night, but you already know that. I bet you were surprised to see me and Jill together huh? And we were actually getting along. She's pretty cool, I can see why you liked her so much. I hope that it makes you happy to see your friends all getting along. It was really weird seeing your coat there, I forgot about that one. You know it was so funny last night. It seemed like you were teasing us. Every time I said your name on the way home, your picture would twirl at me. And my windows were closed and everything. And everytime Mel asked you to make it stop raining, it would start raining even harder. I like it when stuff like that happens. You keep doing that k? I gotta go, I love you.
Love,
Rhiannon

Justin, You know everytime I think I'm getting better, it all comes back so much harder. It's like a slap in the face. Today was one of the longest most suckiest days I remember since you died. And on the way home from work our song came on. You remember the one you sang to me at work? I wanna be there? And to make it even sadder, right after that another song came on that reminds me of you. I just broke down again and cried the whole way home. God Justin everytime I think it's getting better, this happens to me. How long is this gonna go on? I get so excited to be having fun and laughing with you and then I end up crying for you again. I'm going to a group with your mom tomorrow and I know I'm gonna lose it then too. Justin it's so hard to see people and see them be so ungrateful for what they have and to take advantage of life. Why couldn't they die and not you? Why couldn't someone else I never knew have been there? Then I wouldn't be going through this. I know it sounds mean but in a way I wish just you wouldn't have been in the car. I don't mean that I wanted them to die, but if I had to choose one person to live, it would be you. Sometimes I even think, what if I would have died and you were alive, would you care as much as I do? I think you might but you would be a lot stronger. You were a strong person, you had to be, everyone counted on you. You were the one to turn to. It seems like everyone else has someone else to do that. But what if I don't? What if I could only turn to you and trust you? That's why it's so hard. I try to remember everything, but I forget a lot that was so important. When I see your picture, that's how I see you, as a picture. it makes me so sick to think that you are gone and that you are buried. I know it's so morbid for me to think that, but I can't help it. I don't want you to change and already you have. I don't want you to be dead Justin. It's not fair that all these awful people live and you, the best of all die. I hate everyone for that. I hear people talk at work and I just think, well your lucky, cuz I don't even have you anymore. And they sit there and complain about their husbands or boyfriends. But they don't seem to care that they are lucky to have them at all. And they complain about working, well I hate it too, but I would work 24 hours a day for a year if I had just one day with you again. Just one day, just one more chance to make things different. You know life and death are the most powerful things in the world. No body gets a choice and we can't control anything about it. That is the one thing that people don't have a say in. And it's so frustrating. I wish it were like the movies and you could start all over or make a wish and it would come true. Well Justin I wish on every lucky star, every lucky penny, every lucky cig and everything else to wish for, and you never come back. I haven't even dreamed about you in weeks. Maybe my mind has so much of you in it when I'm awake, it needs a break once in awhile. There are these days, like today, when just everything is so awful. Everyone makes me mad to go around and do things, because you can't. I mean everytime me and Mel talk about you a damn cavalier comes by. And I see them on the highway and at night sometimes I have to look two three times cuz I think it's you. I am terrified to drive by semi's. It's not the guys fault, but I hate him, and I wish he would die. Even if I can't change that you are gone, I still want that guy to die. Everytime I see a semi or a cavalier I think, killer. That's what killed Justin. Even when I'm supposed to be having fun, I let people think I am, but you always are in my head. I have to hide my sadness cuz people think it's long enough. I don't know Justin, I sure hope tomorrow is better and that group helps me. I love you Justin Hermann more then anyone, and I don't know if I will ever love someone as much. I know that I will never ever have love for someone like I had for you. That was special. That was a once in a lifetime thing, and I only got that for so short of a time. I know I'll never get that back. I love you baby, take care of me til I can get to you.
Love you so much,
Rhiannon
