Hello,
We wanted you to know that we will be honoring and remembering your loved one this holiday season. We have recently sent Care Packages to our deployed troops in his name. Each package will carry the name, photo, service branch, rank and hometown of Joshua E. Lucero US Marine Lance Corporal.
We realize that this is a small tribute, but we do this with all respect and sincerity and we want you to know that it is made possible by thousands of like-minded individuals from across the American youth hockey community, our family, friends and many others who support our mission.
We will not forget. May God Bless you and keep you safe and strong.
Sincerely,
Charlie Gili & Family

In Memory of Joshua ~ (Debra Estep)
November 27, 2008
Holding you all in my thoughts and prayers.
The Wind on The Downs
“I like to think of you as brown and tall,
As strong and living as you used to be,
In khaki tunic, Sam Brown belt and all,
And standing there and laughing down at me.
Because they tell me, dear, that you are dead,
Because I can no longer see your face,
You have not died, it is not true, instead
You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe;
I hear you laughing as you used to do,
Yet loving all the things I think of you;
And knowing you are happy, should I grieve?
You follow and are watchful where I go.”
(Written by Marian Allen during World War l )
Two lines that I wish you to keep near your heart…….
“You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe”
I did not know Joshua, but I am remembering
his service and sacrifice. He is my hero. !

The Other Side
i'm over on the other side
where life and death softly divide.
left my skin and bones behind
now i'm over on the other side.
can you feel me there with you?
my breath is gone but i'm not through.
loved you then and i still do
from over on the other side.
i can fly. really fly.
below the earth ... all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.
it's good here on the other side.
the sweetest songs...the bluest skies.
thank you for the tears you cried
but it's good here on the other side.
i can fly. really fly. below the earth...all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side
the world is smaller than a needle's eye.
where life and death softly divide.
when you leave your skin and bones behind
i'll be waiting on the other side.
i can fly. really fly. below the earth ... all through the sky.
go tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.

Although my deepest sympathies go out to your family, my heart is filled with pride knowing what a great Marine and example he was. I spent only a few days with Josh before he died, but that was all I needed to see how amazing a man he was. I will never forget him.

Michael and Tina, I remember our first meeting at the January, 2005 memorial service for all of 1/8 in Camp LeJeune. Since then, we have cried with you and prayed for you often. What a remarkable Christian home you have provided for all of your children and used Josh's homegoing as a springboard to share the gospel with many. May our Lord comfort you today and every day as we both look forward to the Resurrection and reunion with our sons. I just wish I could have known Josh this side of heaven.

Michael, Tina and family -- Our prayers are with you today and always. Josh was a remarkable young man as you well know. He would be so proud of all that you do to support his fellow military men and women. He would be so proud of his brothers and sisters as they all strive to serve their country and their fellow men. And he would be so proud of Joey. Joey is a gift to you all, a part of Josh who will always be with you.
Take good care of each other,
Charlie and Karen Fredrickson

There is nothing that I can say or do to take away the pain or bring you peace in your time of sorrow, but I will offer you and your family my heart felt condolences. I also offer you my prayers that in time the pain will easy and the memories of your HERO will carry you through each day and night. I want to thank your HERO, for his/her selfless act of becoming a member of the armed forces, his/her willingness to defend the United States of America, all that we hold sacred and for the sacrifice that will forever be etched in the memories of all those who knew him/her. Though tears can never bring him/her back, we hope that our tears express our gratitude for the sacrifice that he/she made and our sorrow at his/her passing. I believe for every fallen HERO there is a star shining brightly up above to remind us of the precious gift we were given.
Your mission on earth is complete and you are now a member of GOD’s Heavenly armed forces. Stand down brave warrior and take your rightful place in Heaven with all the HEROES who have passed before.
I made a special promise to LE RON A. WILSON, a dear family friend who joined the Army with three other friends, one of whom is my son (Le Ron was killed in action on 07/06/07 at the age of 18) on the day he was laid to rest as I touched his coffin, that I would never forget him nor would I forget those that gave their lives for our country before him, with him and after him and so when I came across www.legacy.com, I thought what a great way to keep my promise to Le Ron, so I will continue to leave tributes in each guest book until the day there is no longer the need to leave these tributes to a FALLEN HERO.
REST IN PEACE, HERO, YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN!!

I did not know Joshua, but I am forever greatful for the freedom that he has given me. I want you to know that I will never take it forgranted. I am sure that his child will always know that their father was a hero. He is the best kind there is because he is an AMERICAN hero. He fought for his family and his country and there is nothing else more honorable than that. So thank you to Joshua and his family. May God continue to hold you in his hands.
I am here if there is anything that I can do, from one military family to another.

My heartfelt sympathy to the Lucero family in the loss of Joshua. I did not know Joshua, but my heart is broken and I am saddened for your loss of such a fine young person and hero. May God bring you peace in your heart as you reflect on all the wonderful memories you hold so close. Please know that you are in my heart and prayers. Joshua you were taken 16 months ago today. You are a hero and you will never be forgotten.
I send each of you a hug from the most inner part of my heart.
Love and Peace
