My prayers are with your family. I gave birth to a set of twin girls October 2005 and lost one in the process. I hope you find hope and help somewhere along the way. Fell free to contact me back. God Bless your family...

Our Dearest Joshua,
It's going on four months since you left us, and not a day goes by that we don't think about you honey. It's hard going on, not hearing your voice, seeing your smile, and holding you everyday. My heart is broke in two, and nothing can ever change that. Nothing can take your place in our hearts Baby. There is so many things I want to tell you, that I didn't get to say that night. The one thing is that We Love you So very much, and we are very proud of you honey. ...

My deepest sympathies to your family at this difficult time. I know first hand how you feel as I lost my 8-year old daughter suddenly in February of this year.

There is nothing harder or more difficult in life then loosing a child. The pain never goes away and the firsts are always the hardest. You are in my prayers and thoughts!

Blessing to you and your family, thers nothing like loosing a child and at christmas oh my how do we cope????? I just want you to know there are many prayers out there for little man Josh and holding his memory, im so sorry for your loss and wish i could take away just a bit of your pain god bless

My daughter, Tracey Ann Dalton, shares being featured with your little Joshua in this guest book. Tracey lost her life on Dec. 10th to a very tragic automobile accident out in New Hartford, CT leaving behind her 3 beautiful children: Mike 10, Courtney 6, and Jimmy 3.

Living in Chicago my entire life and knowing 55th & Central very well, I was just stunned to think about Joshua losing his life there. I find it unbelievable that my daughter now is with Joshua in Heaven. Tracey...

My family and I pray for you and all the
pain you are going through. When I was
at Church last week-end, it was the anniversary of the day a little boy I babysat for died from leukemia many years ago at the age of 6. I thought about him and Joshua together and offered my mass for both of them. When you find a quarter on the street....it is Joshua sending you a message that everything is OK and he's watching over you.

Please know your beautiful son is now part of many lives; his impact upon us has been deep and profound. God bless you and help you through the difficult times ahead; know your son is deeply loved and cared for, always.
