Yesterday afternoon, Josh went home to be with Jesus. He was at
home, surrounded by his family and is now resting in the arms of the the
God he loved.
The family would like to Thank everyone for their faithful and continued prayers.
Please continue to be in prayer for Burt & Gina and Justin & Jordan as they face the days, weeks, and months ahead. Josh's journey may be complete, but the family has just started a new one. And they will need our prayers now as well.
Arrangements are being made and I will share them with you all as soon as I know what they are.
Keep Praying!

Our hearts are hurting for this young man who was just 12 years old. A 7th grader at Piedmont Middle School. We had several common activities that we did with this family. The cool thing is we lived in our first neighborhood together. I remember when this child was born. Now this family just moved into the neighborhood beside of us.
As we did family devotion this morning, we read some scriptures that reassure us of the place God has prepared for us. We know the He will come for us one day to be with those who have gone before us. We know that Josh is completely healed from his cancer. He is walking and rejoicing in his new body.
We sang :

We sang :
My Father's House
Building 429 Not Where I Belong
We also sang the New Doxology.
Reading Scripture and singing praises reminded us that Josh is gone from this earth and we long to be with him one day.
HOPE!
