Mrs Tania I am so sorry for your lost, but you know that we are here for you and we will always be here. I thought about the day we were enrolling the girls in SE and i was getting pretty upset and Mr Joshua kept telling me that he didn't want to see me on the news for going off and he would be sitting there with friends and they would ask him is that you and Tan's crazy friend? We laughed so much and I will always remember him as one of the greatest men I've had the pleasure of calling my friend!! We are here for you and our prayers will always be there for you and your family. Love you much!

To Tania and family, Earth has no sorrow that heaven can not heal. Typing this message is difficult because we have known each other for so long. We met in middle schools and went on to graduate from high school together. Josh was a great athlete but most of all a dear friend. Hearing of his transition was a shock to me. My prayer is that God would give you, Tania and the children peace like only he can. Your and Josh's love was a flower that bloomed from childhood and never faded. God be with you, Michele D. Robinson, Charles J. Colton "Comets" C/O "77" Francis T. Nicholls "Bobcats" C/O "80" Love You
