God knew you where tired and although he knew your family and friends would miss you, he knew it was time for you to rest. So he sent his most preciouse Angel to hold your hand and bring you home. Now you walk amongst the clouds and every once in a while when the wind blows just right,you whisper "I love you to", into the ears of your family who each and every day miss you and wish you where with them.

Josh, I did dress up this year for a Holloween Party at Nico's. It's been three Holloweens now that have past, and we're going into another holiday season that will never be the same without you. Opening Christmas Freight at my store makes my heart break, but then I think, "Josh would love this, and would spend a small fortune to have it." I miss setting up for the holidays with you, I miss you so much, I pray every night to you, and I still break down everytime. But I think you stop me and make me think of all the good times, and tell me to, " Just Chill Out Pat, God you're so emotional!" I even miss that!!:) You will always be my best friend Josh, and please continue to talk to me in my dreams, and know that I love ya always.

Love Mom

My Dearest Joshuah,It Has Been A Year Today God Called You To His Kingdom In Heaven. I Honestly Thought I Would Not Be Able To Live To Write On Your Guest Book A Year Later.(Family&Friends)Have Helped Me Through This Past Year, & My Dreams Of You Speaking To Me Telling Me Things That I Feel Actually Came From You In Heaven Have Helped Me Realize,You Are Still Here With Us. Just in a Different Way. We Have All Been Through The Worst Year Of First's(Holiday's & Birthday's)They Have Been Very Hard For Us All To Even Face. I Believe That You Are Still With Us, Otherwise We wouldn't Be able to do this.I wrote a poem for you I posted. I am reposting it because it is exactly the same way I feel on this day. God Bless You Josh.Amen Love For Eternity (My Best Friend), Patrick

If I had the chance to see you once again,
I'd stop time and go back to where we began,

I wouldn't let you go away,
There is so much I have left to say,

If I could change my life I wouldn't change my memories of you,
You gave me life through and through,

You are still here to protect me even though you are gone to Heaven,
I can't stop thinking of you twenty four, seven.

Our friendship will never die, our souls will forever be,
And if It were up to me,

I'd never let you go, so much life left to live,
So much love left to give.

So many memories still left to share,
You gave your love to anyone who would care.

The pain of loosing you will never subside,
You will always be by my side.
My emotions will never hide,

the tears and sorrow prevail,
like the wind that sets a boat asail,

How does life go on without you? I still don't know.
The seasons of life still come and go.

Time goes by so slowly now, I wish I could see you, but how?

Come visit me in my dreams, that is where I speak with you,
Joshuah Adam Confer,God Bless You,
We All Love & Miss You Too.

Nine Months have past since you were called to heaven,but the loss of you in our lives will never change. Im sitting in my room listening to your music and watching slides of scattered pictures of the memories we shared together for 14 wonderful years. Missing what could have been makes me cry uncontrollably. We had so many good times, along with hard times mixed in.I am so proud to have had you in my life and everything you taught me through the years, I am greetful to you for. Tears and Pain will never subside Josh. You were my life, and you meant everything to me and I will always hold you close to my heart, and you will always be on my mind forever. God Bless You My Best Friend,You made me who I am today, and I thank you for loving me as much as I love you. Until we see each other again in Heaven you will always be with me each and everyday. Love Forever and a Day. Patrick
