This is going to be Mandy's first birthday without you. She misses you terribly and cannot bring herself to visit this site...
I see the pain in her eyes and i know she's hurting, sometimes she walks around like a zombie hoping for something that we know will never happen.
she says you'll always hold the key to her heart......

Amy, our deepest condolences to you and Shirley and all your family on your loss. I got to meet Joshua when he was just a young boy, although didn't know him very well. From what I've read, he had many friends and family that cared about him and loved him very much. May the memories of him always be with you and comfort you, in time you will smile everytime you see his face in a photograph and remember what a special person he was and always will be.
LOVE AND PRAYERS to you, Amy and all your family
GOD BLESS YOU!!!
Jesse, Aleida, Mariana, Lisa, Joseph and our new grandson, Joseph Aaron.
