So sorry to hear about Josh. I think I learned as much from him and Matthew as they learned from me. Both had a great sense of humor and made me laugh often.
For the short time they had, they impacted many lives. I am so blessed to have known both of them as well as you.

"Johnny" and Carolyn,I wish to extend my heartfelt condolences to you and your family on the loss of Joshua. Few people have achieved the position of respect and high esteem which he enjoyed in his short life. His absence will be felt by many for many years to come. With deepest sympathy, Doris Setliff-Pruitt
