Our Son

Justin Wayne Stradling was born Monday February 15, 2010 at 7:56 am. I was 36 weeks pregnant. The labor lasted only 4 hours and was without complications. When Justin was born he cried, opened his eyes for just a moment, and grasped onto my finger. His big sisters, Kayla and Alyssa, were able to come and spend a little bit of time with him while he was still with us. Justin slowly slipped away at 9:53 am, after a short life of just under 2 hours. He passed away from a birth defect known as Bilateral Renal Agenesis. (He was born without kidneys.) A viewing was held in Farmington, New Mexico on Friday February 19, 2010 followed by a graveside service at Greenlawn Cemetery. We appreciate all of the love, support, and prayers on our behalf during this difficult time. We are very blessed to have had Justin in our lives and we look forward to when we will get to be with him again.
