Holly,
I am so sorry to learn about Josh. I know that there is nothing that I can do or say, but please know that you are loved and that Josh was loved by many.
There is nothing that can ease your pain right now, nor in the foreseeable future, but think of one thing; Josh was welcomed into heaven by some great people, your Dad, your Mom and Kerry, grandparents and your uncle Jerry.
I will see you soon. I love you. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

I never knew Joshua's family but wished I had. Joshua was a very kind and thoughtful young man. I was proud to be his friend. I shall always remember him well. There are very few people in this world that would be like him. He was truly a gem of a person.
May God bless him and keep him safely.

I'm so thankful that I knew him. He had the most tender heart, and was never afraid to show it to me. He made me laugh when nothing was right in my world. Good night, my sweet, handsome prince. And flights of angels sing thee to thy rest, until I see you again.
