It can be so hard to face the first year without your loved one, but the love of family and friends can carry you through.

Being Blessed with such large Families, also means more heartache every time we must say goodbye to a loved one.
I pray you stand strong for each other, as you say goodbye, and always remember Josh with a smile.
A memory I hold dear and have repeated to my Son/Grandson's, Is one of Uncle Desi asking Josh at the age of 4ish, if he was a "lover or a fighter" Josh always replied, "I is a lover".
He definitely was... Of family, friends and life.
He will be missed dearly, but has left a "forever mark" on my heart.
Much love to you all! ~ Colleen
