Scott and Debbie, I can not imagine the pain you must be feeling at this moment in time. My prayer for you and your family is that one day in the future you can reach into your hearts where Josh will always live and come to terms with the loss of his physical presence in your everyday lives. May GOD cradle you gently in his arms and carry you through what is certainly the most difficult thing you have endured to date. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Don't think of him as gone away-
His journey's just begun,
Life holds so many faucets-
this earth is only one.
Just think of him as resting
From the sorrows and the tears
In a place of warmth and comfort
Where there are no days and years.
Think how he must be wishing
That we could know today
How nothing but our sadness can ever pass away.
And think of him as living
In the hearts of those he touched..
For nothing loved is ever lost
And he was loved so much.
