    I wish to extend my sincere condolences to the family of Joshua Americanhorse. It breaks our heart when death separates us from the ones we love, especially when their life is cut short. May you find comfort in your loving memories of Joshua and in God’s promise to see our loved ones again through the resurrection. (Acts 24:15) What a joy it will be to welcome back Joshua to a beautiful, peaceful earth (Psalms 37:10,11,29) where all pain, suffering and death will be no more! (Rev 21:4) Hold on to all your happy memories and let them along with all the promises of God, who cannot lie, bring you comfort and peace! I am deeply sorry for your loss!

    It’s been 4 years my nephew. I always expected you to grow old gracefully. Here we are 4 years later and to bring to think to this day, I get stuck trying to fathom your are no longer here. I walk with a broken heart each day and at night I think of you. Every night. It can’t to a point in my life to stay away from family. It’s too hard to go to to your grandma’s. I saw you soon this past weekend. I was shocked to see him sleeping on Kylie lap. When I looked, he is the splitting image of you. Brought back flash backs. I couldn’t help but choke up, My whole chest pained, and I had to walk away briefly. Because I remember when your grandmothersaid to wake you up. Besides our bickering. I am the aunt pro active against many things. I am far from perfect but never knew a day like this would come. You were always be your grandmother’s side… I will not ever accept your death. The way you died. We know the truth and so does the creator. May you never suffer alone lost. You know your always welcome in my home. I would not fear you. May you rest in peace knowing you broke many hearts. No they broke many hearts taking you from this world. Each day there is pain is how deep the blood will resign in your perpetrators bloodline. They shall never have their souls rest. They belong to the dead and what lurks in death awaiting for their last breath. They will not see paradise, but await a rotting HELL . ETERNAL FIRE where they will be tortured over and over like we are each day, each night. May you know this life is but a speech of dust compared to this life to eternity. We will see each other again. Until then go with your family. I love and miss you. Always.

Add your thoughts and memories. Upon approval they will be added.
