Ok so I have been trying to think of how to write this post and it has been difficult for me. On July 18 Justin's older brother Joshua was killed in a car accident. He was Chief Sheriff's Deputy in Lincoln County, Idaho. While on duty one of his tires blew and he rolled his patrol unit. The local papers hailed him a hero because of the things he did to help his community as a cop and as a citizen. He had quite the send off. Hundreds of police officers from across the state of Idaho attended his funeral. There was an Honor Guard at each end of his casket, 21 gun salute, the whole shebang, just the way he would have wanted it. The services were absolutely amazing!
I think one of the most difficult things in life is to lose a loved one. I am grateful for the Gospel and the comfort it provides in times like these. Josh was more of a brother than a brother-in-law to me and I am thankful for the short time I knew him. He touched so many lives, he will be missed by so many people and his memory will live on in the hearts of so many! We love you and miss you Josh!

what a lovely message of tribute. I'm sure he will be missed. One more reason to hold onto each and every minute of precious life with our loved ones. Love the pix of precious little Sarah. Can't wait to see you all.
I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your brother-in-law. I'm sure that the impact of his life and passing will continue to be felt for many years to come. Your post is another way to let his life be remembered in the hearts of others.
