Josh G. Hoffman

When my sister passed away, a dear friend gave me a copy of a poem that brought me great comfort. I hope it will do the same for you.

To Those I Love:
If I should ever leave you whom I love...to go along the silent way, grieve not, or speak of me with tears, but laugh and talk of me as if I were beside you there.

(I'd come...I'd come could I but find a way! But would not tears and grief be barriers?)

And when you hear a song or see a bird I loved, please do not let...

Tressa, Jeff, and Riley...we are keeping you in our prayers. We often talk about how Josh would run across the yard and we'd hear Tressa calling for him...he was a tiny fellow. You guys take care and may each day get better. The Clay and Peden Family.

Our hearts go out to you at this time and in the days ahead.

To Josh's Parents:
I was a Boy Scout when Josh was just a Cub Scout, so I didn't get to talk to him or be around him all that much. But, even when he was that young, I had heard about how admirable and good his work was. I was a senior at A.H.S. when he was a freshman and I can honestly say that, out of his whole class, Josh seemed to be the most well-liked and polite, charming guy. My sister, Madeline, is a classmate of Riley's and all she can say is that he has been fearless and...

We are deeply sorry for your loss. Josh was a great kid. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

I never really knew Josh, but I shared a few classes with him. From what I could tell about him is that he was a very good kid and a polite person. Im deeply sorry for your loss. My prayers go out to you......God bless

Josh was a fine young man - he worked for us at the State Fair last year in the 4-H Department and stopped by this year to visit. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
