You know that if we could, we would be at Joshua's memorial. I'll bet there are thousands of people who feel the same way. In addition to praying for you, Matt, and Oceana, we will take time on Wednesday to think about Joshua and the amazing 67+ days he shared with this world. God loves you guys so much - may you lean on His everlasting arms.
Susie, What a beautiful video. I want to thank you and your beautiful family for letting all of us share the life of Joshua. How great our God is! The past 67 days has taught me not to take things for granted and to celebrate each and everyday for the Lord. My family's prayers are with your family to have strength and to heal. Crystal in VA
Thank You Rose. Very touching. I think Sarah McLaughlin would be proud. I'm rarely moved to tears, but this time........ We will treasure this video forever. Susie's Dad & Mum Mike & Jeannie
That was the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. My prayers continue to go out to your family. Will Joshua be cremated and be with your family or will you have a burial service? I have definitly gotten to know this young man thru your words and pictures. God has definitly graced you w/his present for the time that you had. Joshua is such a blessing and such a cute little man. DUring the time of my father's illness my son got shoved to the side and I regret how he got treated but at the time my father needed the attention and my patience was so shot that I had none left for my one year old at the time. It was so hard but don't think ur a bad mother for having a little less patience with Oceana during this time. I read about that in one of your blogs.
Our thoughts and prayers are with your family. Kristina WInters and family, Jo Conkle (my mom), and Denise Fahnestock...we went to school w/Matt
What a beautiful video. You and your family were so blessed with a beautiful child though only with you for a short time will live on in your hearts and all our hearts forever! THank you for letting us all in to your life to share your beautiful family with all of us around the world.
You were and are truly Blessed. He is so beautiful. My prayers are with you from Northwoods, Wisconsin. Celebrate that God choose 2 very strong people to be Joshua's parents. May God hold you while you are weak, remember he is strong. Beautiful!
Wow... what a beautiful montage!!! That brought tears to my eyes and gave me chills!! What an amazing 67 days you had on earth Joshua!!! Love, Misti xoxo
Ah Susie, Joshua was amazing thank you for sharing his life with us. Still praying for you guys, I know that God will be faithful to complete what He has started in you and your family.
What nice tribute to your beautiful little man. Praying that God's peace surrounds you during Joshua's service. May you feel blessed by the number of lives he has touched. Praying in PA Rachel
Lifting you up in prayer..Joshua was a blessing...he truly reached many....he has entered the hearts of many and he will remain there. God bless you all as your healing begins and as we celebrate the life of Joshua! Thank you for choosing life for Joshua. In short time he accomplished what God intended for him...He showed that God is more powerful than any and that what doctor's predict is not always so...Love to you all and thank you for sharing beautiful Joshua with us all...I am sure I can speak for all when I say that his life has impacted each of us. Trish San Diego
That was absolutely beautiful. Thank you Rose for making that lovely video. And thank you to Joshua's family for allowing us to part of his short but very powerful life. God Bless you all.
i am crying my eyes out and i don't even know you. all i keep thinking is how can this be. I am 15 and sometimes it is so hard to understand this. I have been following your blog for months now and when i read that your boy passed....i just couldn't stop crying. i will be praying for your family. I can't imagine how hard this is..but I pray that God will get you through it. Keep trusting in Him. Your little boy was so precious and I can't wait till the day I will meet him face to face.
That is so wonderful that someone was able to do that for y'all... Continuing to pray for your family as you walk this difficult road ahead. We are only a few short weeks ahead of you in this grieving process, but I pray that that Lord will fill your hearts with peace and joy that can only be found through Him.

Thank you Rose for this special tribute to Joshua. I will cherish it for the remainder of my years. I am so grateful for the blogland family who has joined with us and given us the strength to endure through this journey. Matt, Susie & Oceana, I desperately want to be there with you. My heart aches to hold you, cry with you, grieve with you. We are so very proud of every decision you have made in Joshua's behalf...and we believe God is so very proud also. I am certain you will hear "Well done my good and faithful servants" You have not chosen the easy path, and there awaits for you a crown on that glorious day. I can't wait to see it placed upon your heads!!! Precious, precious children of the King. (Susie, please make sure Matthew knows how proud his parents are of him...I don't know how involved he is with the blog, but I want him to know how highly we think of you both)
