As you mourn and grieve the loss of your loved one, Josh take comfort in knowing that Almighty God will soon undo all that death has caused. By means of a resurrection to life many who have died will live again right here on a cleansed Earth. There will be no more death, sickness or pain. (Revelation 21:3, 4). May these thoughts give you peace of mind and heart.
I will miss my chats with Josh. He had so many memories of times shared with Stephen. I’m sure there were many he never told me. I am praying for your family and will keep you in my prayers for the hard times ahead of you. Â
May you Rest In Peace Josh. Praying for your loved ones ðŸ™ðŸ»
