| | Two poems for Justin's family... | Sep 3, 2007 |
If Tears Could Build a Stairway
If tears could build a stairway,
And memories a lane,
I would walk right up to Heaven
And bring you back again.
No farewell words were spoken,
No time to say "Goodbye".
You were gone before I knew it,
And only God knows why.
My heart still aches with sadness,
And secret tears still flow.
What it meant to love & lose you -
No one can ever know.
But now I know you want me
to mourn for you no more;
To remember all the happy times,
life still has much in store.
Since you'll never be forgotten,
I pledge to you today-
A hollowed place within my heart
is where you'll always stay.
When Tomorrow Starts Without Me
When tomorrow starts without me,
and I’m not there to see;
If the sun should rise and find your eyes,
all filled with tears for me;
I wish so much you wouldn’t cry,
the way you did today,
while thinking of the many things,
we didn’t get to say.
I know how much you love me,
as much as I love you,
and each time that you think of me,
I know you’ll miss me too;
But when tomorrow starts without me,
please try to understand,
that an Angel came and called my name,
and took me by the hand,
and said my place was ready,
in heaven far above,
and that I’d have to leave behind,
all those I dearly love.
But as I turned to walk away,
a tear fell from my eye,
for all life, I’d always thought,
I didn’t want to die.
I had so much to live for,
so much yet to do,
It seemed almost impossible,
that I was leaving you.
I thought of all the yesterdays,
the good ones and the bad,
I thought of all the love we shared,
and all the fun we had.
If I could relive yesterday,
just even for awhile,
I’d say goodbye and kiss you
and maybe see you smile.
But then I fully realized,
that this could never be,
for emptiness and memories,
would take the place of me.
And when I though of worldly things,
I might miss come tomorrow,
I thought of you, and when I did,
my heart was filled with sorrow.
But when I walked through heaven’s gates,
I felt so much at home.
When God looked down and smiled at me,
from His great golden throne,
He said, "This is eternity,
and all I’ve promised you".
Today for life on earth is past,
but here it starts anew.
I promise no tomorrow,
but today will always last,
and since each day’s the same day,
there’s no longing for the past.
But you have been so faithful,
so trusting and so true.
Though there were times you did some things,
you knew you shouldn’t do.
But you have been forgiven
and now at last you’re free.
So won’t you take my hand
and share my life with me?
So when tomorrow starts without me,
don’t think we’re far apart,
for every time you think of me,
I’m right here, in your heart.
(D. M. Romano)

| | Please accept my sympathy with Justin's colleagues and relatives | Sep 3, 2007 |
Although I did not have any known contact with Justin, I am sure I have benefitted from his contribution to Proz.com. I share the sorrow of his colleagues and relatives about his sudden passing away. So long, dear Justin!

| | Just read the news | Sep 3, 2007 |
I'm shocked.
I never had the chance to meet him, but I can place myself in his family's, and actually, his own position.
When I was 22, I had a serious car accident. It was only a matter of 10 meters or 1 second that I'm still around. A year later I lost a friend who died in a car accident. Last year I almost lost a child.
No words convey the feelings people feel in times of loss.

| | goodbye, Justin | Sep 3, 2007 |
What awful news. Like many others, I only "knew" Justin through support tickets, but remember him as always pleasant and helpful. He will be missed. I wish his family and friends peace and comfort.
I will keep both Justin and Mark in my prayers.

I didn't know Justin personally, but like many others, we "Skyped". I was very impressed with his willingness to help, his good humor, and all his answers my incessant questions (workdays and weekends). It seems very fitting that he will be missed so much and is loved by so many.

I did not know Justin and never had the chance to communicate with him, but the comments that Proz.com staff and colleagues have posted here make it obvious that Justin was truly a good person.
My deepest condolences go out to his family, friends and loved ones, although there are surely no words, in any language that can help to console them at this time. Just remember to hold your memories of him close to your heart.
