It is with heavy hearts we learned of your loss. There is no pain more far-reaching and deeper than losing a child. Even in your sadness we hope you can hold on to the thought that a life lived with so much love never really ends, but goes on forever in the hearts of those who remember. During this time of intense pain and sadness we claim Isaiah 42:16 for you … “I will lead the blind by the ways they have never known, along unfamiliar paths. I will guide them. I will turn darkness into light before them and make rough places smooth. These are the things I will do. I will not forsake them.”  No time on earth is long enough to share with those we love or to prepare our hearts for good-bye. As you move through this hard time, we are praying you find moments of grace when you need them most. Jeff & Sharon Crouch (the parents of Jessica Crouch, a friend of Josie & WTAMU grad)
