Ugh. I hate doing this but so many of you are telling me it’s normal. We have been trying so hard to do better in our lives. I am currently working at a hospital with a job I really enjoy. I have decided I missed my calling and I am officially enrolled in school for my pre-nursing credits. I’ll be applying for nursing school some time in 2024. Mckenna is also attending school to become a nurse where she plans to eventually become an arnp and work in mental health. Mallory is a junior in high school and is still figuring things out. She has some pretty great ideas and I know she is so capable of whatever she chooses. We all are.

This was unexpected. We have many, many costs associated with his passing that we are not prepared for. No one should have to do these for funerals but there is such a need that these pages were created. On top of this, we are also looking for a new place to live. We appreciate the time and place we have been for the last four years but I think we are ready for a new start. Me and the girls plan on getting a place where we can all work, focus on school and heal from this tragic loss together.

I didn’t want to put in an amount but it forces you-lame! I guessed and we will be happy and grateful for anything. You don’t have to help. We appreciate you all no matter what. I’m thankful for our large tribe.

We also encourage you all to check in with the people around you. Josh didn’t take the help others offered because he felt shame. Shame that has haunted him for the last four years. Mental health issues are different for everyone and no one is alone. One of the things I am consistently hearing is how strong he was-because he really was. Don’t be strong for him, be strong like him and his legacy will continue through each and every one of you he touched. #stronglikejosh

I will update this and on social media with the details of his service.

Love,

Jocelyn, Mckenna and Mal ❤️❤️❤️
