Josh used to come over to our house when he was about 2 or 3 . He called our ferret a “stunk” and his pacifier , “Hooty “. Thought that was sooo cute !

Dear Overtons,
I am so sorry for what you are going through. I know that words cannot express your grieving for Josh. I know Josh was a great person. Cassie loved him as a friend and no one can break the bond that they shared. We hope you will soon move on with your life remembering Josh in your heart. And good luck to Skye Josh's little brother.

Dear Overton Family:
My heart goes to you all. Losing someone at any age is difficult, but it makes it so much harder when it is someone who is so young. I do not know any of you, but my family pray that you will find the strength in the Lord and each other...i want to tell you something that was told to me when my neice died. a nurse at the childerns hospital told me that God said she was only yours to keep for a little while ,it was when i called her home that i needed a rose for my garden. Please find peace and lean on one another for support.

My name is Cindy Vogl, my daughter Ashleigh was a good friend of your son's. I just wanted you to know that he touched her life in the most positive way possible. He was her friend, confident, conspirator and listener. The many stories she has related to me shows how much she cared for him. Children aren't just born that way - their parents help them to become that way. Thanks for helping to mold Josh into the person he always will be.

What a wonderful young man. While I never met Josh, it's obvious that his life and all that he did was an important contribution to your family, his friends, your community and even the world. I hope that you are able to find some peace in knowing that you were able to instill these traits in him and that he was so important to many.

Dear Overton Family,
I received two phone calls today about your son, Joshua. One from my husband and one from a good friend. While I do not know what happened to your wonderful son, I do know the pain of losing a child. Our son, Jarrett, a junior at Collins Hill High School died one year ago from melanoma. Like Joshua he was a three sport athlete and was beloved by all. From one grieving family to another you have our deepest sympathy.

We lost Gary’s brother as a teenager and I’ll never forget the preacher’s question at his funeral. If God had asked you if you wanted to be blessed with a son but He wanted him back in 16 years, what would you have answered?

Dear Don and Heidi,
It's Paige and Roy Hockman from Villa Coyaba. (we worked with Don back in September) We've just read the paper and wow, what a beautiful son. Roy and I were so saddend to hear about Josh. The very well written article made us feel as though we've "met" a wonderful young man. We have taken this unexpected turn in your lives to talk with our young boys 11-14 about life and death matters. It has opened up a dialogue that has become crucial in the times they are growing up in. We hope to be able to introduce our boys to Skye and Grey this summer, I'm sure they would enjoy each other. Thank you for the inspiring words and the wonderful picture; please feel our prayers and deepest sorrow and know that your story WILL make a positive differnce in the lives of many other families. Regards, Paige and Roy Hockman

Mike Bloodworth

Dear Overton Family,
Although we haven't met, my own Joshua from Peachtree Ridge H.S. is a friend of your Joshua. They are linked by the common friendship of Ryan D. and by the common passion for the sport of high school wrestling. We then, are all linked by the love of our Joshes. I don't pray every day as I should, but today as I share your sorrow with you, I ask God to bring comfort to you and for Him to protect you all. I don't count my blessings every day as I should, but today I shall count the many blessings I have as I hope you shall count your many blessings too. Today, may the outpouring of love for Joshua and for your whole family be a real blessing that helps to lift you up and carry you on.
Sincerely yours with all our sympathy from Mike, Joshua, and Jonathan Bloodworth

Our deepest thoughts are with you and your family, my son Jonathan was a friend of Josh's and Joseph worked with Josh at Ledo's. We were very sad by the news. As a Mother I cannot even imagine the pain you are going through. Know the Lord will comfort you and your family in this very dificult time.
