The
immediate and extended family of Justin Cosby is extremely grateful for
all of the love and support from friends, neighbors, childhood and
college friends, and everyone that has extended support in this trying
time. Justin was loved and respected by everyone that he came into
contact with, as there as there are so many that have a positive story
to tell when speaking of his kind heart, comical ways and loving
nature. "The boy with the smile that would always lend a hand" is how
so many have referred to him through the hundreds of people that have
been to visit with our family over the last couple days. We are still
in disbelief of the horror and shock of Justin's murder. He was not a
"hoodlum" or "gangster" – people actually laugh at the thought of him
being referred to in that manner.

Justin was a fashion
trendsetter, basketball player, student and self-admitted "mama's boy".
He was looking forward to picking up new studies, furthering his
aspirations to become successful and marrying his long-time girlfriend.
We know that Justin's wings will be on our shoulders to help us survive
God bringing him home for bigger tasks than he can do here on Earth.

In
support of the family, the Justin Cosby Memorial Fund has been
established and donations can be received at any Bank of America
nationwide.

The Wake will be held on Saturday, May 23 from 3:30
– 4:30pm at The Concord Baptist Church at 190 Warren Avenue (at West
Brookline St.) Boston, MA 02116. The Funeral service will immediately
follow the Wake at the same location. Justin will be buried in his
hometown of Richmond, VA.

Our angel Justin will be missed and will always be in our hearts and memories.
