Thanks to the many who have already called, written, facebooked, or stopped by. It has been a very challenging time, but we know God still loves us. We are just trying to find a way to do our life without our son Josiah, and have been amazed at how many loved him. Hopefully, they can be comforted as well.
There will be a reviewal at Thurston Funeral home at 2005 Branch Ave, Anoka, Tuesday from 5-8 pm. The funeral will be Wednesday at First Baptist Church in Anoka (1235 Park St.) at 11, with reviewal opportunity starting at 10.
