Liz, your daughter Jessica and the family,

I want to express my sympathy in the passing of your Josh. He was/is far to young to be taken, but I guess God has his plan for him and one day we will know what it is/was. May he R.I.P.

Sincere sympathy,
Shirley Rivard

Words cannot explain how deeply sorry I am Jess and family. The saying is everything happens for a reason but in this case I do not agree with it. Josh was taken way too soon. He is not in any more pain is the best way to look at it. He will indeed be missed by many. My prayers and thoughts with you all.
