The following pictures and text were sent by Justin's friends.

I just wanted to say a few things about a special person I came to know.

His name is Justin Machado. Let me start by saying that I am a friend of Justin and his mom, and sisters. I only had the priveledge of knowing Justin for a short time, but he left me with a lifetime of great memories.

The one thing that really impressed me about Justin was his kindness. He was always willing to share whatever he had, no matter what it was. He also had a big smile on his face always, no matter what. Justin would always be the first one to look at his mom and tell her how beautiful she was.

I really enjoyed playing games with him like hide and seek around the house. I know right now he has all the good hiding spots taken in heaven, and I am looking forward to playing with him again somday!

I myself don't have any children, but if I ever had a son, I would want him to be just like Justin...

I miss and love you very much,
Darren Crook
