Dustin Baker, We will miss you

Post by Larry Baker »

At age 25, our nephew Dustin passed away at 2:30 this afternoon. He has gone to the Lord and will be with his Grandparents. Dustin has had bouts with illness all his life, had a double lung transplant 2 and 1/2 years, and had been doing well, but things turned for the worse a week ago, and his battle was lost today. Please keep his parents (my brother) and all the family in your prayers. Thank you all, Larry and Jean

Larry,
We know how hard you and your family fought the tough battle with Dustin. How proud he must have been to have such support and love from those around him. We know that Dustin is at peace now.

I join the others in prayer for you and your family, Larry.

Please accept our sincere condolences.
God bless you always,
Donna

Larry and Jean,
I had not checked this section for several days and just now saw this. I am so very sorry for the loss of your nephew. It is always seems more sad when a person is so young, although all life is precious and should not be taken for granted. May God grant you peace and comfort during this trying time.

Hope to see you soon,

Jim and Helen Means
