The Peace Maker-Justin Eugene Carr
Justin Eugene Carr was born on September 13, 1996. He was a musician, athlete, actor, architect, dancer, singer and actor. More importantly, he was a great son and his parents counted him to be a true blessing from God.
Sadly, this past weekend, over 1,000 people came together to say goodbye at funeral services for this precious 16-year-old. His father made a plea to the audience during the service to help him to fulfill Justin's wish.....World Peace! I think this is a very ambitious, but do-able goal. While he lived on this earth, Justin fought for peace in his daily life. It was his legacy!
Peace begins with each individual FIRST....we must decide that we will be at PEACE with each person, situation and even challenge that we face from day to day. As Peace Makers, we must also be committed to influencing the peaceful undertakings of our family, friends, co-workers, associates and community. I pledge to be an example of peace. Will you join us to fulfill Justin's wish?
