About Joshua:

 

He was born a healthy baby boy on July 21,2003. He was diagnosed with Nueroblastoma and a brain tumor when he was about 2 months old. They gave him about 3 weeks to survive he survived until he was 13 months old, but when he was 11 months things went downhill very very fast. He was put onto a respirator until he died on August 21, 2004. They had me make the hardest decision of all and that was whether to keep him on the breathing machine or to take him off. So my family and I decided it would be better to take him off and he died about 2 hours after that in my arms. I was holding him and he stopped breathing. He is survived by his loving family Sister Kylie Brother's Michia and Cameron. I want people to know that it can happen to any child no matter how healthy they are and he was a wonderful little boy to be around he lightened up the room whenever he walked in it.
