No words to express the grief I feel for my dear friend Nancy and her family in this terribly difficult time. His memory video showed Josh had a wonderful life and was clearly very loved. His struggles were no ones fault including his own and very sadly at way too young an age he lost his internal struggle. Hopefully over time the happy memories and blessed little moments will help ease the pain. Rest In Peace Josh. With much love, Candice

I am very sorry for your loss. My heart aches for you. Hold on to every memory. I lost my son at 20 years old. That was 26 years ago on May 15, 94. May the Lord hold you all close. Prayers for everyone of you. You won't believe this now and it takes time but it will get easier. From Rose's friend Deanna. Hugs!

Thank You for sharing the details of your son's passing. Depression is a real disease of mental health that many of us do not fully understand just how important it is to take it seriously when our loved ones call out. Through your courage hopefully others will come to a greater awareness so we all may be of help to each other in this world. RIP

Dear Scott, Nancy and Joshua's family and friends - My heart breaks to read about Joshua's passage and his battle with depression. My thoughts and prayers go out to all of you. My first husband and my children's father also battled and finally succumbed to his depression. I found some solace that he was finally at peace from his demons but that did little in those initial days and weeks to assuage the pain of his loss. I hope that memories of happier times and the love and support of family and friends help to carry you through this initial time of sorrow. You will be in my thoughts. And, if you need an understanding and listening ear and open heart, I am a phone call away. With my deepest sympathy - Linda Johnson
