Hey Josh

Its only been a few months since you were taken from us. You are in my thoughts and prayers every day. You always made me laugh from your great April Fools jokes to your constant beautiful smile.

Josh,

I was lucky enough to have been your friend for 15 years and watch your son grow to be a wonderful young man. Your love for Adam, your family and friends will leave me with everlasting memories. This world is a better place because of the way you lived your life. I will celebrate your life and keep you in my heart. I will never forget your love for others and pray for your family. I will miss you so much
