The girls so loved their Uncle Justin. Justin also loved his cat Molly very much. On his drivers license, Justin had registered himself to be an organ donor.

Cuando Me Vaya
Cuando tenga que dejarte por un corto tiempo, por favor no te entristezcas ni derrames lagrimas ni te abraces a tu pena a traves de los años; por el contrario empieza de nuevo con valentia y con una sonrisa por mi memoria y en mi nombre vive tu vida y haz todas las cosas igual que antes. No alimentes tu soledad con dias vacios sino llena cada hora de manera util. Extiende tu mano para confortar y dar animo y en cambio yo te confortate y te tendre cerca de mi; y nunca, nunca tengas miedo de morir porque yo estare esperandote en el cielo!

No Mori
No se paren en mi entierro y lloren, No estoy ahi, Yo no duermo. Soy mil vientos que soplan, soy el brillo del diamante en la nieve, soy la luz del sol en los granos maduros,
soy la lluvia gentil del otoño.
Cuando despiertes en la paz de la manana, soy la chispa de energia callada que hace volar
a los pajaritos en circulos,
soy las estrellas que brillan de noche.
No se paren en mi entiero y lloren, no estoy ahi, Yo nunca mori.
