What do you say to someone that has lost a child. I will try, You held him in your arms, you held his hand, you held him in Gods light. Josh, will live on in your heart and your memories until you are together again.

words are only the containers of our emotions. Containing these types of emotion is more painful when spoken so much is left unspoken. That is not to leave these things unfelt or unshared. the love glues us together and we,our eyes, arm, kisses and hugs and cups of hot cocoa are the containers of this emotion we call love. Feel the love... It helps us heal and we will heal together by feeling the love...

To: Dan, Linda and family;
My sincere condolences to your family. May our Savior comfort your family during these times of need.

Losing a child of God is always a sad as you will miss his presence. I know as 20 years ago, I experienced losing a 13 year old son to a ski lift accident in Aspen, CO.

May Joshua forever rest in peace knowing that he is in our Savior's arms.

Your freind,
Cowboy Bill/Christian Cupboard Food Shelf
