Justin Rice
Organ Donor
/March 13, 2021
Justin was my hero who lived an adventurous short life. He taught me more than I could have ever imagined about living life to the fullest, taking the adventures and loving everyone.
Justin was born with a rare chromosome disorder but he never let it stop him. He loved dressing up in costumes as his favorite super heroes but little did he know he was my super hero.
His 17 years will never be enough for me but I have faith in God and I know I will see him again one day.
Saying thank you
