Dear Penny and family,

I am so sorry. The loss of a child must be the hardest thing anyone could experience. Josh was a special person - I liked him the minute I met him. He had a good heart and a sweet nature. Sometimes he would drop by just to say hello and tell me the news in his life. He never failed to give me a hug and say, "I miss you guys!" I'll never forget his smile.
