I remember Josh as a little boy. His mother Leah and I were friends in high school, and in our early twenties; but with distance, time, and growing families, we drifted apart. When I learned of Josh's death, I was greatly saddened. He was such a sweet little boy. I remember visiting Leah in California, and we took Josh to an Easter egg hunt. I'm grateful to see he has grown into such a fine young man. Sending thoughts, prayers and love to Josh's (Leah) beautiful family.

Dearest Joshi. I never would have imagined this day would come to be. I love you so much and will miss you & your goofiness. I will keep close to mom and dad and be in constant prayer. I added the pic cause I was so taken back when I looked in one of TG's yearbooks. I couldn't help but notice those eyes a million miles away. And in the pic your name was not showing. It was a gift in itself to see you two boys like that in that year book. Now it is definitely a treasured pic & a memory that will last a lift time. Pastor & Leah, I love you two so, so very much and I am so very sorry. I am here for you two in WHATEVER you need me to help with. I am here for you two if you need to talk, cry, and or just be still, I am here for you. PLEASE...Do NOT hesitate to call on me. It would be a great blessing to help you through this time. May the Lord hold you all so close that you embrace the comfort of HIS love so deeply that you find rest. God Bless you and again my most heart felt, deepest condolences. With all my love. Dayna...
