From Your Loving Godmother

My godson’s love and kindness is unmatched. He was wise and always willing to learn. His yearning to seek God in all he did was always apparent in all his interaction. I will continue to seek God even in this challenging time because of him. Joshua was not only a loving son, brother, family member, and friend, but the best godson anyone in this world could receive. I am so happy that I was able to have him in my life. I will miss him reading scriptures that he thought I needed and then ending our conversation in prayer. Part of my heart is with you and I am forever changed, but the love I have for you is everlasting. As my godson sang- It is finished, It is well, You are God, You are God.
