I was heartbroken to hear of Josh’s passing…I think we’re all still in shock. The last time I spoke to Josh was a few months ago but had not seen him since Papi’s funeral. While a sad occasion, we had a great time seeing cousins & sharing memories about their grandfather. He will be terribly missed by his family…the Wilkin’s & Holder’s alike. Our hearts go out to & we are praying for his parents & son and entire family during this journey we never thought we’d have to travel. We loved him.
