The Funeral


We plan to have a Memorial Service to celebrate the life of Josiah on September 28th at North Point Community Church, Alpharetta Georgia.  The service will be held in the Attic at 11 AM.  We hope you can join us to remember him!   

We did have a very small family graveside service shortly after his death,  and it was so very healing.  The Care Ministry at our church helped us in preparing, and our good friend Steve Giddens officiated the service.  His words were so comforting.  The flowers were  beautiful, and Chad and I were both able to say a few words in honor of little Josiah.  

One of the best parts of the funeral was Chad’s idea.  We had a white dove release.  Chad released the first of 21 doves, as a symbol of his precious soul leaving us.  

As Josiah’s dove circles over the horizon, out of sight, we’ll softly whisper," look he is gone!'", but we can be certain that over that very same horizon, others will look to the sky and joyfully exclaim, "Look!  Here he comes!."    In the arms of the angels... may you find peace and comfort there.
