Baby Joshua George Egan, 4 months old, returned home to heaven on Sunday, May 21, 2023 after showing much strength and courage while at the Childrens' Hospital of Philadelphia in Pennsylvania. Joshua was born in Morristown, NJ to his loving parents, John and Gail Egan. In addition to his parents, he is survived by his big brothers Benjamin and Samuel, his big sister Hannah, all of his grandparents, many aunts and uncles and 24 amazing cousins.
