Josh was a special person and a good friend. I know he´s in a better place. I know he´s been struggling for a long time and really hurts my heart that he and I were a strange the past few years. The only thing that makes me feel good is knowing that he´s back up there with his dad shooting hoops And getting to see Mac again. Miss Jacky if you ever need anything or just want to talk or have a big hug, please don´t hesitate to call me. 304-704-9495. Much love to the family. Just know that Josh touched a lot of lives and a special person to a lot of people.
