I only knew josh through the few months I worked with him at AMC, but those few months with him made my days there so much better. He was an increasible guy and a really great friend. My prayers go out to him and his family.

Kevin & Family,
We are so sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with your family. - The Burgard Family

I'd also like to share something with you that I wrote last year to express the overwhelming grief I felt over losing one of the cub scouts in my pack.

I cry

I wish I had the words
Like I wish I had back time
I wish that I could fix these things
But it seems all I can do is cry

I cry because my hands seem tied
With all the things that I can’t do
I cry not to ease my pain
But because it’s all that I can do

I have photographs and memories
I try to celebrate all the life that you fit in
I’ll hear a story, or tell a story
And then it makes me cry again

I cry with those you left behind
I cry because I’m not that strong
I cry knowing you’re still with us
But I cry the most because you’re gone
