To the Willis Family:
Daphne, I am so sorry to hear of Joshua's death. I loved hearing you talk about him and looking at the many pictures of him that you kept stored on your cell phone. You never stopped beaming and being the proud mother. You are in my prayers and thoughts. When I think of what your family has loss, I am saddened profoundly. I regret I never got a chance to meet Joshua personally. I felt I knew him from the stories, related to each picture of him, that you shared joyously and eagerly. I pray for Joshua's spirit, soul and salvation.
