Missing you today. Was thinking about that time we went to homecoming and you wore that goofy mustard yellow button down. You were just so happy to be at the dance with everyone. I gotta dig those pictures out. Keep watching over your momma and siblings. Love you always bro

A Tribute To Josh
No words I write could ever say
How sad and empty I feel today
The Angels came for you
Much sooner than I planned
I'll brave the bitter grief that comes
And I'll try my best understand
Josh, why did you have to go away
Why wasn't it right for you to stay
In my heart Josh you always will be
I love you dearly and I know you'll watch over me
What I'm suffering seems so unfair
But one thing is for certain
My love for you will always be there
Josh, my nephew you always will be
The most important part of my heart's memory
I'll cherish the moments I held you in my arms
And I'm sure that if you had of stayed longer
You would have graced me with your charms
A thousand words won't bring you back
I know because I've tried
Neither will a thousand tears
I know because I've cried
Now you're up in Heaven
With the Angels up above
They will take my place for now
And they'll give you all their love
So go and rest in peace now
My sweet nephew who was loved so dear
For all my love and memories
I will hold forever near

Joshua I've know you since you were in elementary school. I watched you go through middle and high school to become a man. You grew up with my sons. I love your caring heart,your silly humor, and you sense of style. You truly will be missed everything about you. You have a captivating smile that can light up a room. Even though I rather have you here I know your watching over us all. I know you will like you've always done before. With a heavy heart and tearful eyes I say I'll see you again. Your always in our hearts,on our minds. Memories of you will never go away as you touched so many of us in many different ways. Many you rest in peace I love you always Ms. Angie

Your mom is a dear old friend,and I am truly sorry for her lost. I remember you when you were little, always the protective big brother. I know it was too soon and no one expected it. Knowing you, as an Angel I know you'll do the same . I pray that the family can find comfort in knowing you still have their back and will continue to protect them from a far .
