Nature

As a fond mother, when the day is o'er,
Leads by the hand her little child to bed,
Half willing, half reluctant to be led,
And leave his broken playthings on the floor,
Still gazing at them through the open door,
Nor wholly reassured and comforted
By promises of others in their stead,
Which, though more splendid, may not please him more;
So Nature deals with us, and takes away
Our playthings one by one, and by the hand
Leads us to rest so gently, that we go
Scarce knowing if we wish to go or stay,
Being too full of sleep to understand
How far the unknown transcends the what we know.

Aunt Peg,
I can't believe how suddenly this happened. I can remember Tattoo when we were growing up and all the times you were getting on to that kid :). He was truly a great person and I know how much you loved him with all your heart. Our family is really taking a hard toll these past few weeks, but I'd like to think that maybe God is trying to help us bond closer together with one another. After all, there is nothing quite like our family. He is going to be missed and still loved by all of us. We are here for you no matter what! We Love you all!!
Love,
Amanda, Travis, and Lewis

I wish to the clouds that Josh would see me and he didn't die. Last time he was at my house we had so much fun. He showed me tricks on his skateboard, played baseball with a basketball with me and Jake and Justin. He was so funny. Love you and sorry for your loss. Joey Taylor age 8
