More Pieces found!!!

A couple more pieces were found!

I recieved two fantastic emails....


Piece #10:

"I wanted you to know I found this beautiful tribute at the Denali National Park visitors center on Sunday May 30,2010. At first I though it was something the rangers had set out to engage folks in one of the programs, the ranger was just as surprised as I was. As I opened it and read it the 4 or 5 people standing close by heard the message and each of us were touched at such a loving tribute.

I'm sorry for your loss and hope knowing Justin has touched the hearts of folks as far away as Alaska to Ohio helps your family.

Would you like me to leave this tribute for others to find? I would be happy to do that for you.
God Bless you and your family."


This next email is my favorite so far. It touched my heart that someone so young realized the importance of our project...

Piece #21:

"Mrs Florek Hello my name is EJ Penner and ive found your husbands memory in a bottel number 21 and iam 13 years old i found it at that old machinery museum in a digger thing and iam sorry about your husband and i hope your ok and iam wondering if you want me to put it back some where i dont know so if you could just emale me back. thanks"

Isn't that the sweetest? Hopefully more pieces will come out of the woodwork soon!
