Both Josh and Cynthia have been a great blessing to me. I will never forget Josh. He was taken too soon, but in the perfect timing that God needed him back. He forever touched my heart, and taught me a few things along the way. I am eternally grateful to have met this young man, and to have been so close to him. I love you both!
