Growing up Mr. and Mrs. Siregar were more like surrogate parents to me than just "Stacy's parents". I'm so very sorry for your loss and my thoughts are with you all.

My most heart felt condolences to you (Donna) and the entire family. It was a pleasure to know Josh as a friend and "brother Knight" really enjoyed our times spent at the club and playing pool. I am stuck at work or I would be there for the Fourth Degree Honor Guard. I will remember you, the family and Josh in my thoughts and prayers.
