Josh Cotton

This was his favorite time of year and though he is not with us this christmas i can still feel his presence around my house watching over us at nite, warming us when were cold and filling our hearts with joy and laughter just like he used to. We miss you Josh. Sometimes I think this is just me in a coma or a nightmare and im gonna wake up soon, i really hope it is.

Love forever and always your baby cuz,
Sydney

To my good buddy Cotton,
I am writing this to you as I cry, I just found out about the accident today, a month later. I am sorry. I read about the accident on Facebook and I have to admit I went completely numb.
I still cannot believe it. I am lost for words, and all I can think about are all the great times we had in high school. I am sorry that we didn't keep in touch, and I am sorry I never got a chance to come see you in Lubbock...I wanted to. You would often come up in...

Josh was not just a cousin but a friend. when he enterd a room he shined brighter than any star in the night sky. I still remember the times we had and wish they would never have to stop.

topaz eyes
a boyish grin
radience shining from within
a love for this earth
and a love for this life
we love you josh
and heres to a good time

May those who loved him miss him and may those who didnt be told his legacy

Dear Kasi, Kevin, Jake and Jess,
Being the older sister of Jane, I have seen you all share much of life. My heart completely broke in two and many tears have been shed for your loss. I cannot even imagine the great pain. Please know you are in my thoughts and in my prayers. May God hold you in His arms and comfort you.

Kasi, Kev, Jake, and Jess,
I never had the opportunity to know Josh, living so far away. I do feel I know him through you, Kasi, and Kev. Jake and Jess, I feel the same way about you. I cannot imagine your loss. It pains me greatly, but I know the kind of man Josh had become and I am confident that he will always be in the arms of the Father. You are all in my prayers, even more than usual. Had I magic words to ease your pain... but there are none. I wish I lived closer and could have been...

It's only been 22 days since I woke up in a nightmarish reality. I couldn't believe it for a week. Reality didn't hit me until I got to Iola on Sat. I'm not back together yet, but the bones will grow back and the bruises will fade.

I still cry everyday. I cry for your mother and father. I cry for Jess and Jacob. I cry for Nathan and his folks. I wish more than anything that I can change that night so they don't have to hurt anymore. But I can't.

I know you weren't...

well hey brother. its been hard dealing with your passing. i still have not even began to totally moarn you. your time with us all was too short. i just wish that i could have come home for the funeral. but you and i will have our own time together when i come home brother. the only thing that separated us was blood. i've been talking to you every night since i found out and will do so for the rest of my life. i know that god has one great guy with him now and we will all see you some time...

Jacob, my thoughts are with you and your family.

I am so sorry to hear for your loss. I wish your family all the best and my thoughts and prayers are with your family.
