    We were all so devastated to hear the news about Josh. You all have been in our thoughts and prayers almost constantly since Friday. We feel very nostalgic here where Josh lived with Tina since he was first born as your family began to love and pour out your lives to him. God of course never makes mistakes. He gave Josh a family created just for a little boy who needed someone to save his life! Josh was such a joy to us the summer he stayed with us. Bill, Amanda & I have been reminscing about all the funny things we did. Josh was always so polite and enthusiastic about everything that visit! There was much time spent with art, then the fishing and muzzle loading. Of course, they were just pretending, Jennifer. If I remember right Joshua did like to eat also. He was full of life and questions about lots of things at that time. We were so Blessed to have him here with us. Please know we continue to hold you up in prayer. Josh's life continues to be a joyous memory to us and testimony of God's great faithfulness in endless ways. Love, Suzanne Shinn

    Beverly & Don: So very sorry to hear of Josh's passing. I remember him so well as a young boy. He grew to be a very handsome man, and I know you both were very proud of him. You did a wonderful job parenting him, and I know God smiles down on you. My heart goes out to you. I can't even begin to imagine the loss of a child and I want you both to know you are very much in my prayers. I love and miss you both dearly. Toni Ammons
