Josh! I knew you since Curiale days and I watched you grow! You were quiet back then but always had a good head on your shoulders. Smart, Talented! And then when we got to Bassick you stayed the same! Always handling what you had to do! And I respect you for that! I'm glad that I got to know a kid like you! And graduated with a kid like you! You were a great role model! And hopefully others remember you for that.

"This story isn't over. This is the end of chapter one. A new chapter has begun."

~Peace~

I cant imagine what your family is going through but I send my sympathy ! your words ring in my head over and over again ... and each time I hear them I feel like I can hear you speak for the first time ! I never thought that the last time I saw you it would really be the last time ! I miss you so much I cant even put it in words ' nothing I say can change the fact that your gone !

I remember being with you in the fourth to sixth grade and you were always the one person that the entire class would look up to and just had the utmost respect for. You were great in everything from sports to academics and we all wished to be like you. You just had a way to put a smile on everyone's face.The last time I saw you was in sixth grade in Mrs.Yates class. It was truly a blessing and a honor to have been in your presence for that time.
My heart goes out to the family because you were an amazing individual. Rest in Peace Joshua, you have eternal life singing, laughing, and dancing with the King of Kings. Your now an official Prince. "Joy and happiness peace of mind". I love you and I'll never forget you. God bless you.
