Susan, Megan & Jessie,
I can not think of a more fitting tribute to make other than to let you know that I sincerely believe that my life has been better for having had the opportunity and pleasure of knowing Josh. He was like a brother to me and will always be remembered. The true value of a persons life is not measured by material things but rather the poistive impact they have on others.
Love,
John
