To Josh Family, our deepest condolences for your loss. We loved Josh and we feel your tremendously loss. He was very kind young man. In the short time he came to visit he stole our hearts. We all loved him very much. Hopefully he will run into my Jillian in Heaven

It’s still hard to believe you’re gone. I’m currently enjoying a recipe you made for me a few times. Rest easy in the arms of Our Lord. Much love to you and your family.

Matthew 11:28-30 - King James Version 28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. May the love of God's Son, Jesus, guide and protect your families in the days ahead.Your loss is great but the Love of Jesus is greater!

Joshua was like a little brother to me and we will always cherish the memories of family beach trips, watching him play baseball growing up and his sense of humor! I see him in both Connor and Shelby. Our thoughts and prayers are with everyone. Jeff and Tracey Johnson

What our families say...

In my opinion, there is no better facility in Virginia than Altmeyer Funeral Homes. Not only was Chris Sisler there to hold my hand every step of the way, his family members were holding the door on the day of the funeral to help and encourage me. I will never forget their grace. He led me and my family through the process as a personal friend and neighbor, and as the ultimate professional.
