    I knew Josh from working at Edison Elementary and Moorhead High School.
    It took me a while but we finally connected through a comment he made to me and I took it as a joke. From then on, when he would come to the office, I could see his nice smile and a twinkle in his eye. It was so nice. I hope everyone in his family remembers his nice smile.

    We have enjoyed Josh so much over the years. He was at the lake last summer and it was so fun to see him.
    I have always enjoyed his sense of humor and the gleam in his eye. I can not begin to know your grief – but know that you are not alone. We are upholding you in prayer. Such an awful time of year to lose someone, but what a time to enter the golden gates of heaven! I am so glad that we have God’s promises and know that we will be reunited with him someday. Blessings to you and your family.
