Who can speak of such sorrow ? Our hearts break for your loss and the pain of your whole family. Joshua was always the first to greet us at any occasion in which we all celebrated together. His enthusiasm was contagious and his love of his family was unrestrained. The world is missing a very special person and this sadness we cannot contain. We love you all, wishing we could take this suffering from you. Love you, Bev and Jerry

To Stuart, Bea, Rachel, Aaron & Jethra,

I was so very sad to learn of Joshua´s passing. Please know that we are and will be thinking of you during this difficult time. Please do your best to look after yourselves in the days and weeks ahead. Stuart and Bea, you have always been so special to me from the time I was a child. And we loved the times when you were in Chicago and saw Kara and I for dinner. At every happy family gathering I can always remember a scene with you in my mind´s eye making the occasion more joyous. I wish there were words that would come to mind that would help, but I know there are none. So let me just say we love all of you so much and share in this sorrowful time. May God bless all of you and your individual families. I know of no better people in my life and I pray that peace and some comfort come to all of you very soon.
