Our thoughts and prayers are with you Deana and Ron. This is one of the hardest ordeals of life and many in our family have experienced it. The Lord comforts us as He receives his angel. Know that we are offering prayers for you and the family; that, you will be comforted and able to find a way through your grief and suffering.

Slosh, what can I say- I’m so happy I got to know you. From watching you climb trees, riding your bike, playing basketball ball with all the neighborhood kids, to swimming in the pool and jumping off the “non-deep end” you were one awesome kid. Watch over that beautiful baby girl of yours, and keep an eye out on your mother. As far as your sister goes… she needs you more than ever. Keep hold of Jessica, she’s a mess but she’s strong. She gets that from her big bro.
Rest Easy my friend
Carol Crawford
I am so sorry to hear of Josh’s passing. My thoughts and Prayers are with you
