Dear Josh and Family,
My parents and I were saddened to learn of your father’s passing. From what I knew of him, he was a very kind individual. Though everyone passes on, he was one of the only ones to experince life to the fullest, always. It was a pleasure to meet him and to know that he’s in a better place now. Again, we extend our deepest condolences to you and your family, in this time of sorrow. -Tanner and Family
