  • Hello .. my name is Chastity and although I did not know Josh personally I wanted to express my condolences for your loss. I know this is a very difficult time for your family. There is a short scripture that has always been encouraging to me when going through this and it’s at Isaiah 26:19 where it speaks of our dead loved ones living again. I look forward to this time so much. I hope this brings you some comfort and again we are thinking of you during this difficult time. Sincerely, Chastity
