“A Life Well Lived”
A life well lived is a precious gift
Of hope and strength and grace,
From someone who has made our world
A brighter, better place
It’s filled with moments, sweet and sad
With smiles and sometimes tears,
With friendships formed and good times shared
And laughter through the years.
A life well lived is a legacy
Of joy and pride and pleasure,
A living, lasting memory
Our grateful hearts we’ll treasure

I met Josh at West High school as students. He was a very fine person. We lived in the same neighbor as adults, saw each other occasionally. I wish to extend to the family my sincere condolence and you all are in my prayers. God bless.
