Dear Merkleys,
Your son was a home teacher to my daughter, Christine, in their BYU ward. Thank you for teaching him to honor his priesthood and to be a good steward over Heavenly Father's children. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

We are sorry to hear about the passing of your son. From the story that I heard, he was a hero to the end, always thinking of others before himself. A true Merkley quality. May God bless and comfort all of you.

Josh,
I am so very proud to call you one of my kids. I always knew when Becky was with your group of friends she was with people she truly loved and I can not thank you enough for being a part of our lives. I look forward to the time when I will see you again. Keep an eye out for me, I'll be the one dressed as a pink bunny. Love you!
