I didn't know Joshua personally, but my children did. I understand that he was a loving friend and would give the shirt off his back. To his family I would like to say take comfort in knowing he is with the Master. Psalm 121 says I will look to the hills where my help comes from. Please know that God had his room ready in his beautiful mansion, where we will all see him again.

My deepest sympathy
