Thanks to Josh for the many smiles he spread across my heart as I watched him lead his first song at Hillcrest, read scripture publicly, be baptized into Christ, pick up ribbons at horse shows, watch his horsemanship, sit beside me miles upon miles hauling produce and heavy equipment, hunting deer together at camp, advise me at auctions just to keep raiding my hand and I would be winning bidder, hug my neck and say I love you Pop, and the list goes on and on. I watched him greet people in the most gracious and polite mannerism that would draw a smile on their face as well, making my heart smile too. Lately I saw him marry a sweet lady, Emily would joined him in bringing sweet Atlee into this world.
Life would introduce you to many challenges, like myself, you would meet some most difficult and trying ones.
Josh you forged with these heart smiles a boulder of love, absent this love there would be no hurt, thank God you came my way. May you Rest In Peace, Pop
