Remembering Justin Cope

We will forever remember Justin's big smile and even bigger heart. He was such a great friend, he will truly be missed. My prayers are with the family in South Carolina. It was so great to see everybody Thursday night, I'm so sad that this is what it took to get us all back together, but thankful that we did have a reunion. I love all of you and miss you dearly. I pray that we will see each other again soon under different circumstances. Charleston will always be in my heart!!
