Dear Janice- I am lifting you and your dear family up in prayer now. Praying psalm 23 for you and its promises. Please know you are in my thoughts. Your son is remembered for the joy he brought to your family. May Jesus continue to hold you close and comfort you.
In his love- Vicky M.

Sorry for your loss. I pictured myself close to josh. I went to grade school & high school with him. He was a great person, out of all 12 years i've known him i never heard him raise his voice. We became really close 7th grade year, he taught me all about yugio and silly things like that. He never told anyone about his illness. He would fall infront of me & we would both just laugh as i would help him up. I knew he had bad knees since grade school. God bless your family for helping josh along...

I am sending my condolences and may special memories of Joshua bring you comfort at this time. God will soon wipe out every tear and death, mourning, outcry and pain will be no more. Thinking of the family.

Hi Janice, I am hoping you remember me from Shawmont and Henry Ave. Medical Center. I am so sorry to hear of the death of your son. Several people told me about it because my husband died of ALS 4 years ago. I was so shocked to hear that he had it. It's a horrible disease! My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Dear Tkachuk Family, I was very honored to be among all the family members and friends tonight at the celebration of Josh's life. The entire service took my breath away. Perhaps the best part was when Jill read "The Dash!" All my thoughts and prayers as you go the days ahead.
