Josh-
Although I only met you recently, and briefly, I am saddened that we will not have the chance to build the friendship we might have shared. I will continue to be a friend to Raina and Aiden, and help them keep your wonderful spirit alive, always.

Josh, my lovely brother and brother in Christ oh how I miss you deeply! My pea pod just hasn't been the same since you have been gone. I can remember back growing up while looking through some old pictures how very close we were, and how I always seem to keep you under my wing my baby brother to look after and keep you safe. You always had my best interest at heart, and what ever it took I would bend over backwards to make sure you were alright! I'm so glad I had the opportunity to share God's word with you, and to help you along the way through life's challenges. You were and are such an inspiration to me and I thank you Josh for all the times you helped me too along the way. What a special bond we had! By my faith being strong, and the trust I have in the lord I know deep down inside you are safe, happy and in our Father's house now free of life's troubles! I will see you and our mother again one day until then I will fulfill those promises I've made to you to the best of my ability! As always Big sister has your back =) I love you forever and always, your sister and sister in Christ.

Josh, I close my eyes and I can still see you so proud of your red station wagon and the pride you took in your shoes and the clothes you wore, and most of all the pride you had in showing me the keychain you had with your Nephew's picture on it.The pride and love you had for your Mom, Dad and Sister, gave truth in the kind of man you would turn out to be.Your heart was a giving and forgiving heart and for that I am thankful to have shared some of your life that was cut way to short. Unfortunately with lifes ups and downs we had become somewhat distance. I know one day we will all see you again. Rest in Peace Josh
