Today was an Exhilarating Day!!! The Skydive for Dustin, My Beloved Son…. The Scattering of the Last of His Ashes….. Spring Equinox…. A Time of New Beginnings….We headed out to the Drop Zone at Red Rock Skydiving at about 10:30AM. Joining us were Annie (My Sister) and “Bean” Our Dear Family Friend. Kristen and her friends Whitney, Eric, and Chris suited up and prepared to board the plane which would take them to 12,000 feet above Sedona. It took about 20 minutes for the plane to climb to that elevation. During their flight, they circled above The Sacred Red Rocks of Sedona which includes “Secret Mountain” which was Dustin’s favorite hiking spot in Sedona.

As we watched with anticipation, wondering if we would be able to see anything….. We finally saw the plane over head and all you could see was a shining speck in the sky. Then all of a sudden four little dots were moving in the sky….. And Then….. All of a sudden…. There was an amazing Explosive Stream of what looked like white smoke which filled the sky and began to swirl….. It was AMAZING!!!!! If I could even begin to explain the excitement of what we saw, it would be something like the very first time I ever saw a fireworks display and gasped with excitement of what I was seeing!!

Absolutely Amazing!!! “Dust In The Wind”…. That’s what I saw….. And then, as the swirling continued….. we saw the most amazing thing….. A Heart…. Dustin’s Heart…. Formed in the sky before it began to dissipate…… Then permeating into the Air and becoming ONE with Heaven.

I am feeling like I was actually up in the air with Kristen and Her Crew….. Dustin is Now Set Free in All Ways…. I feel like his Spirit is Expansive and has become One With All That Is…. As He So Believed…..

I feel SO thankful to Kristen who wanted to Honor Her Brother in this way, keeping her promise to him, to do His 2nd jump with Her on the Spring Equinox of this Year.. And I am so Thankful to Whitney and Eric for coming all the way to Sedona to fulfill Dustin and Kristen’s Dream. And, My Thanks go out to Bean, Dustin’s lifelong friend, and a member of our Family, for being here with us every step of the way.

Whitney said…. “I don’t know of Anyone who has ever had FIVE ceremonies to honor them after their passing”…. Dustin Was and Is such a Special Soul, who I knew from the day he passed, that He Deserved the Best send off ever….. And it was…. Love, Love, Love….. xo

Thank You to All of You who emailed us and Held us So Profoundly in Your Hearts on this Day……. xoxo

With Much Love,
Liz & Kristen

As I sit here and reflect on what Valentine’s Day means to me, I think of Dustin and his constant message of UNCONDITIONAL LOVE. A couple of years ago, Dustin wrote a beautiful Valentine message which he sent to me and many of you. As I now read it, it brings with it a whole new special meaning and feeling of Love. I would now like to pass it on to You in his Memory. I feel he would want you to have this. It is in quotes below.

As you know, Dustin loved his photography. I’ve attached 5 pictures. You’ll see a picture of a wet heart on concrete. He took this picture when he was in downtown Los Angeles passing out food to the homeless. He showed so much love to those in need. He knew that I collect Hearts and Angels, so he sent it to me along with the Angel statue (in the middle of a sidewalk) attached. I was blessed to live with Dustin and Kristen in Los Angeles for 2 years (2004-2006), where we had rose bushes in the backyard. One day, our friend Edwin picked one very special rose for me that was “Kissed by an Angel”. The beautiful head shot picture that Dustin was so proud of as an aspiring Actor. And lastly a Heart in the Clouds (not taken by Dustin) that reminds me of the Love that Dustin was, is and always will be. These pictures definitely show that Love is all around.

Thank You to ALL of you, Our Beautiful Friends for Loving Dustin. He Loved You So Much! And, thank you for Loving Kristen and Myself. You have helped us move forward on our healing path with all of your Kindness, Support and Love.

With Much Love and Gratitude,
Liz & Kristen

“For me, Valentines Day is about a lot more than selective lovey
dovey hugs and kisses. Love has no expectations. There should be more than just one universally accepted day for expressing love. I wrote this for all of those who I cherish. Pass it along to all
those who you cherish.

If love were to be defined as an acknowledgment of existence, then I could say I love you.

But without words, how could I express my feelings to you? Without some form of communication, what would I do?

Well my words can only relay how I feel, and my words could never show you what is real. The reality of my emotion can only be felt by you.

You.

You are beautiful.
And like the sun your beauty shines.
But I see more than a precious smile and sparkling eyes.
I see something that is with you throughout time.
It is something that is yours, and also mine.
Whether floating in the ocean, or buried in the sand,
when I reach from within to touch you, you hold my hand.

Much love to YOU always.”
