Dear Whictman Family,
I was heartbroken to hear about the passing of Joshua. As his former little league coach, I had the privilege of watching him grow not only as an athlete but also as a remarkable young person. His passion for the game was infectious, and his spirit on and off the field inspired not just his teammates but everyone around him.
Joshua's smile and determination were things I will always remember. He taught us all about teamwork, perseverance, and kindness. I can only imagine the depth of your grief, and my thoughts are with you as you navigate this profound loss.
Please take comfort in knowing that Joshua touched many lives, and his memory will live on in the hearts of those who had the honor to know him. I
With heartfelt sympathy,
Ross
