Josiah, it breaks my heart to write this. You have been Nasir's best friend ever since he stepped foot in SC. You have always looked out for my Mom as if she were your own Nana. We truly saw you as part of our family, and there are no words to express the deep hurt our family is feeling right now.

Pam, we can't speak of Josiah without speaking of you as well. We are praying for strength and comfort for you during this unimaginable time, and we want you to know that we are all here for you.

Josiah was deeply loved.

I watched him sit and talk with my Mom for hours, and she misses him tremendously.

May God give you peace, comfort, and strength to carry you through the days ahead.
