Picture slideshow of Joshua's funeral

12:06 AM
I decided I wanted to have a collection of Joshua's funeral pictures in a slideshow.  It was actually very therapeutic for me to put this together.

I wanted to comment a little about the songs I picked for this slideshow.  The first one is called Jealous of the Angels by Jenn Bostic.  She actually wrote it after her father passed away, but I love the idea of the angels gathering around God and the reunion that must have happened when Joshua passed away. I am sure there were so many family members there to welcome him home and I am definitely jealous that I have to wait a little longer to be part of that, just like she talks about in her song.  The second song is To Where You Are by Josh Groban. Since Joshua passed, I know he has been close to our family, even though we can not see him.  He has become my guardian angel and I know he is there.  

I wanted these sweet messages to be what I remembered as I looked at these pictures.

    So meaningful to see you and Tim standing together in these photos, and since. Logan and Joshua are truly blessed to have you as their parents. We are grateful to share in a portion of that love.

    This was a beautiful slide show that you put together. My prayers are with you and your family at this time. What a great blessing that we can cherish is the fact that Families are an Eternal unit and not just sealed to time on earth together, but forever!

Joshua Kent Ipson was born December 1, 2012 with a very complicated combination of congenital heart defects. After 2 1/2 months of fighting for his life, he passed away on February 13, 2013. We invite you to share our experiences as we grieve his loss, rejoice in God's plan, & keep Joshua's message of hope alive.
