I just wanted to say how sorry I am about Joshua, I can't even imagine what you guys are going through. Like Mr. Skrzypek told me the other day when he came through my line at tops, each day it gets just alittle bit better. I hope it continues, I know the pain will never go away completely but I hope you guys can find a way to get through this, you guys will be in my prayers every night.

To the Skrzypek Family-
I can not imagine what you are feeling. I will pray for you daily. I will also be in touch soon. My heart goes out to you all. I know it probably feels as though you can not even go on. When you feel that way, just take one more step. Lean on those who love you. I am one of them, please remember that. Love you guys and I will call you soon.

Josh, although we have only hung out together a couple of times, you and I instantly had a good friendly connection. You always got along well with everyone and you were a good person. There is no doubt in my mind that you will be missed.
Brian, Denise, and Jamie, I am so unbelievably sorry for your loss. I wish there was something I could say or do to relieve the pain that you feel in your hearts. God Bless You.

The last time I saw you Josh, we were all playing cards at Aunt Donna's house, drinking glasses of their champagne or white wine or whatever they were drinking and having a good time. I can't believe what happened - not to you. You really made the room a brighter place when you were in it. I wish I could have been there for you if you ever needed to talk or just get away for a little while. You are missed, Josh. Jaimie, uncle Brian and aunt Denise, I feel like no amount of empathy felt is enough to even touch the surface of feeling what this is like for you. I love you guys.

Even though it hasn't been long
Since the day that you've been gone
People tell me, " time will heal......"
But not having you here seems so unreal.
I feel like I'm living in a dream -
Then reality hits......and I want to scream:
You are my baby , my first born - my son
And with your short life, I know I wasn't done
With teaching and loving and caring that's true,
And all of life's treasures I wanted for you.
I keep thinking what would I do,
If I had another moment to say I love you.
How would I fill that moment I long of,
Except with words conveying my love.
I can't be thankful for what I have not -
But do try and be thankful for all I got.
The time with you so short and sweet,
You always were "mom's special treat."
Lord - my strength is ebbing from yesterday,
Please fill my cup of strength for this day.
Show me the stairway that I have to Climb,
Lord..... for my sake,
Teach me to take..........
One day at a time.
