God speed to you young Josh. And to your parents and siblings, I've been in your shoes. Only 2011 my 17 yr old sister passed away. My heart still aches. The pain numbs from time to time. But then you see something like this and you just try to not cry at work. Know your loss is being felt around the world. And I only hope you stay strong and be there for one another. There is no right or wrong way to deal with it. I wish you peace.

We all know what a blessed but challenging job it can be to raise kids and no matter how much we want to protect them from all of the hurts in the world that can happen, they have their own journeys they have to walk.
