Dear Danielle and family,
I just heard of Josh's passing this morning from his friend Adam. Josh was a friend of my brother Brandon Cheramie. Brandon was also a flight mech. stationed in Mobile AL. I believe I met Josh at Brandon's funeral 3 yrs ago. Adam said that Brandon and Josh would always talk football and play poker on "Poker Nights" in Mobile. I viewed Josh's obituary online and I noticed his big smile on his face. It was apparent that he had great love for life and those around him. I know Josh will ask God to give all of you the strength it will take to get through this. I am truly sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Danielle and little Ty,
I wish so badly that I could have been there today. If in these next days you find that you have no one to call out to for help, cry out to Jesus. He is listening and he can get you through one day at a time. I am praying. Love Jen
