So heartbroken for your family at Josh’s passing. Josh was one of those good kids!! We so enjoyed him on the tractor drives. He was respectful, helpful, kind, thoughtful and had a smile that was simply infectious! He was one of those people who, if you asked for his help, he would jump in and do whatever he could without any complaining. He will be missed by so many, young and old! Our thoughts and prayers to the entire family.
Josh set an example for all with his love, grace and compassion for others. I’m sure he has the most beautiful blanket in heaven to add to his collection. Until we meet again… your family will wrap you in a blanket of love.
I’m sorry to hear of Josh’s passing. Prayers for your family.

Richard, Doris and Danny–I am saddened to hear of your heartbreaking loss.. I am praying all of you will be wrapped in the warm arms of God’s comfort.
It is hard to believe you have been gone almost a month now. I miss you every minute of every day like nothing I have ever felt. It feels so wrong that I cannot call you and talk to you or wait for you to come home from work. I still feel very crushed from your passing but I am glad there is no more pain for you. I hope that you will be there when my time comes and walk me home. I look at your picture all the time and think how glad I am to have had you for the last 21 years. I love you and miss you so much that its hard to breath some days. Be at peace my son for we will see each other again in Valhalla, for your bravery in the face of so much pain and suffering has surely earned you a spot there with other warriors.
Love Dad.
