Melissa - I know this is way late but I didn't find out about your son Josh passing until just today.
I have no words to express my sympathy for you and your family.
Take care of yourself and your family and know that I will pray for you every day that you get thru your pain and loss.

I believe God knew that Joshua's time on Earth was limited and he wanted to give him the most amazing life.
Jesus said I need to give him two wonderful parents, ones that will shower him with unconditional love, help fill his dreams and show him what a true family is.
God only wanted Josh to have the best! God chose YOU, Melissa & Lance.
You raised an amazing son who was kind, generous, funny and a super athlete.
Joshua knew how much he was loved and that his parents were so proud.
I was always in awe when Lance spoke of what they did over the weekend.
Everything and I mean everything, revolved around their kids and sports.
Family was first! Family was everything!
Never asking for time for themselves; that is what a selfless parent does.
Josh was such a blessing and I just wish your time with him was so much longer.
May God allow you to feel the overwhelming love that Josh still has for you. All my love Patty

Our thoughts and prayers go out to your entire family during this most difficult time. As our daughter is a graduate of GCC and knew your son, we were touched by your families decision in setting up a scholarship in memory of Joshua. I wrote out a check today to GCC in memory of Joshua.
