In lieu of flowers

Please consider a contribution to Help with Expenses for a Celebration of Life Event.

Background

Final arrangements have yet to be decided. Holli has so many business matters to attend to first. Your help is appreciated at funds are dwindling quickly to take care of these matter. Thank you.

Be sure to view the memories page to see additional videos and pictures. Contact me if you have a memory or picture you would like posted.

Our beloved Joshua departed this earth unexpectedly on December 1, 2024.

His precious daughter, Holli has opted to Celebrate Joshua's life and what he meant to us versus a sorrow filled funeral.

The costs of after life expenses are above our means, so any financial donations to cover these expenses and setup the Celebration event would be so appreciated.

Updates

Update from Jan. 10, 2025

After the dust settles from the shock of losing Joshua, the reality of carrying on without him is most difficult. We go about our daily lives and push back the realization of this pain. But in the quiet times, when one's mind is still, the sadness and emptiness comes raging through your mind, your heart and soul. Sometimes just completely unbearable.

I can't watch a movie or show where someone dies or I just cry uncontrollably. Life WILL NOT be the same, but it will go on. We will forge ahead but those moments will still creep in.

I believe we are waiting till spring, one of Joshua's favorite time of year, to celebrate his life, his love and all he gave to his family and friends. This will require planning and Holli still needs financial support. So if you haven't already and can help her out, your donation is greatly appreciated.

With many thanks!
Kristen
