''Justin Howard Calvillo"

"Justin Howard Calvillo"
 
 
 
 
Steptember 3, 2012 the Batesville Daily Guard put a story on the front of their newspaper titled Body found. Calvillo remebered for laughter, smile. by unknown. I chose to write my current connection over this because well its not just i story i read about in the news paper its a story i had to live. Justin was my uncle (Uncle Jut) and i think the views they have about him are 100% right. Justin was one of those people that you just couldnt help but to smile at. Kristen Webb (his bestfriend) told the paper "I just want to make sure everyone knows that he was just a happy soul, he touched everyone he ever talked to even if he only ever spoke to them for 5 minutes i promise you they will forever remember him. He always had a smile on his face and he had a way of making people laugh that was unlike anything I've ever seen... it was like a gift. He was my very best friend and no one will ever be able to replace him. He was one of a kind." What Kristin said about him made the story even better, she was truely his bestfriend and she helps us remember him. Justin got lost where the Black river meets the White river on Aug. 30, 2012. Justin was found that following Saturday at 9am. Justin was a young man that people wont forget.

"Baby Brantley"


''Baby Brantley''

I'm sure the day Stevi Harrmann and Justin Frazier found out they was gonna have a baby, they never would have thought that something would be wrong with him. When Stevi was 19 weeks into her pregnancy they discovered there might be problems. After almost 12 hours of  laber Baby Brantley was born on August 30, 2012 at 11:41pm weighing 6lbs 6oz and was 19 inches long. He was diagnosed with Hypoplasic Left Sided Heart Syndrome and was in need of a Heart Transplant. Stevi and Justin were told only 1 in 9,00 children are born with a heart disease and even less are born with Hypoplasic Left Sided Heart Syndrome as severe as Brantley's. In most cases you have two options, either undergoing a three-step surgery process or repairing the heart periodically, leading to a heart transplant in the late teens, or do a transplant immediately as an infant. Sadly for Baby Brantley that was not the case. All the family could do now was sit, wait, and pray for a matching heart. On Justin Frazier's birthday (step. 7) they got the news that they found a heart for Brantley. The transplant started at 11 that night. It took 9 hours but the surgery was successful. Stevi and Justin are so ready to hold their baby boy and watch him grow.
