Joan, Vergie and family; I'm so sorry for your loss. Joshua was so loved by Daddy. I can see those two in heaven now, with Joshua playing and singing and Daddy listening. Joan you and Vergie both followed God's commands in offering love and support for Josh and his brothers. Take comfort in knowing that his life was deeply enriched by your love. God be with you during this difficult time.
