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.”
