Joshua Avant Memoriam

In Loving Memory of William Joshua "Lump" Avant March 23, 1980 - July 20, 2004 Beloved Son, Brother and Friend Already another year has come and gone since you left us to be in Heaven. I still miss you every minute of everyday. My heart will never mend until I see you again. I miss your smile, voice, laughter, hugs, kisses, love and hearing you say "mama". I just miss all of you. Thank you for being the son some moms only get to dream of. We do our best to be the best for you. See you in the Lord's time. I love and miss you "Dearly", Semper Fi Mama (Your favorite -ha!) Sister Niece I.L.Y.L.A.H.L.S.

I'll never forget the karate days with Josh. He was an awesome karate-ka. I remember him breakdancing to "Can't Touch This". Thank God we have good memories to sustain us.
Y'all are in our prayers.
