To the parents, siblings, children and friends of Joshua:

I offer my deepest sympathy and prayer.
I lift you up in prayer asking God to be your comfort during this painful time. I ask that the pain is replaced with gratitude and love for the legacy that he has given the world. Allow his children to fill the loss in your soul, that through them your joy would overflow in the months and years to come. He lives through them. Take care of the little ones Lord, through your divine power and through the hands of their mothers, grandparents and relatives and bless their lives with the comfort of each other.

Bless his beautiful children Isaiah, Sophia. Liam and Griffen. I am so saddened for his children and pray that they are filled with love, security, joy and the peace of God all the days of their lives. In the mighty name of Jesus, Amen.
