I never thought of a world without you in it. I am deeply saddened that you are no longer here. I wish we could have got to have a few conversations before your untimely death. I will talk to you in my prayers now.
However, I am very happy that we got together and had our beautiful daughter, Marleigh, she is the light of my life. And the first child for both of us. You will be greatly missed. Love you.

Dustin…..where do i even begin…….we had only just begun, it felt like forever and ended too soon…..you are my heart. I would give anything, just to hold your hand, eat skittles and watch the stars with you one last time…….Now you’re one of them. Shine bright my love. Until I can see that smile again, you still have all of me. I will miss you, for the rest of my life. Te amo papi❤

Where do I even start.. You were the light of my world and now you’re my guardian angel. You could make me laugh just by the goofy faces you would make or just you being the jokester and getting on my nerves. The countless nights we would go out riding or stay up all night. There’s so many memories of us that I will cherish for the rest of mhmm life. Words can’t express how deeply I miss you. It feels like I’ve been stuck in a nightmare for the past week.. But, deep down I know you’re in a better place and you’re not hurting anymore. You are always in my heart and forever on my mind. I love you Dustin Chandler. ❤️

Where do I even start? You was taken from us way to soon D and it’s just not fair. You was an amazing person & father who had a smile that could light up any room. You would be a life of any party. I never thought that you would ever be gone. I guess it’s true only the good died young. You had a heart of gold. I can still remember the day you walked in my life being the cute sweet boy across the road. We shared so many good & bad times together. Not a day goes by I don’t think of you. I love you to the moon and back D!
