Rest in Peace little Cuz you will be remembered
January 30, 2013
Joshua it seems as though it was just yesterday that I.... I miss you Boy with all the Charisma. I always knew you were going to be someone noted... Never really got that chance, did ya?
Dad has been spinin' ~
Please Lord take care of my Son as I am asking this in your Son's name Jesus Christ... JP I have really been trying to keep my Family out from under the Black Cloud that has seem to cover the Globe as Plastic bag cutting off the breathe of life. Your friends in the last three years have monthly changed to meet the demands and needs of life. TJ having a baby!!! Victor calls for you in his nightmares. You did have such a Gift when it came to meeting others needs, never taking care of Joshua's needs. I feel like I missed your High School years all together. Working every day, 8 - 12 hour days. Never finding time for my Kids and Wife. I miss my Family.....
Always your ever Loving Father (Pops)

Good Morning Son - I love and Miss you soooo Much Joshey..... almost three years ago now, you died. That day still seems as though it was yesterday. It's a catch 22 josh... In my heart I can't get you out of mind.. But at the same time it hurts so bad to try and remember your smiling face walking in (usually with a trail of friends) But at least you were there !!! So much has changed and so much time lost. I am almost coming to terms with you never coming home through that front door again... Hope you are there with your Brother with Our Father in Heaven.......

Though I don't know you guys much but only at the times past. I would like to say R.I.P ( Rest in Peace ) And that i'm sorry to hear about your lost. I know he was and will always be special in your guys heart . Just always keep your heads up everyday and just know that no matter what you guys do or what happens . Just remember that he's up in heaven watching over you all and his kids .

I miss you boy! You and Ryan are on my mind, and in my heart, you are with me every single day! You boys are the first thing on my mind when I wake up and the last thing i think about before I go to sleep. I promise you will live on in my heart, but not even that helps console me. I love you boys!!!

But people are still stopping by and filling my heart with good ol' times and talk about Ryan too.... So miss you boys.... Dad isn't at all having a time with it at all !! Give your Brother Ryan a big Hug Josh !!! This really happened, you both are gone...
Love You PoPs..

Joshua My Son - Miss You So Much... Time is really making it worse.... Daily I want to share something with you and there I go down to the pits of YUK... Had so many more things to do with my Sons and your Sister and the more time that has passed only makes the list longer and longer of the memories we could have made together!! If it wasn't for your Sister I would have lost it for sure, JP.

I miss you cuz, I remember the good times we had when we were younger fishing and hanging out. I wish we could have spent more time together as adults and gotten to know each other more. I will always keep you in my thoughts. Love you.
February 8, 2012
JP - I know you are with Ryan now, it's actually one more way GOD has worked in our lives. Joshy will have I'm sure got to know all the other Angels by now... He can now give you the Grand Tour and introduce you to all... I miss you my Son so much uugghh !! Joshy's memories and knowing his Faith in Christ took him to heaven, and Ryan's Heart and Soul and commitment to his Faith in Our Lord Jesus Christ gives me the Peace of knowing that they are now together !!!
Sis
February 6, 2012
Ry is with you now. I love you guys dearly...save a place for me and you guys are my guardian angels. I have double the protection.
December 28, 2011
Sis is right ! Time to put this into a book My Son... I will keep this open through the Bee and give people an avenue to communicate with your Soul, Joshy !!! I know there are times that I just want to get something off my chest and you were the one person in my life that did have that uncanny understanding... ...Therefore you may not of really cared about 'ol Dad's rants and problems, but I will direct them towards you anyway. One to keep you on the loop as it is, lol !!! The Joke there is that I am so far out of the loop that you only get the inside info from your sister... Haven't even seen your brother add a remark yet... Mom, Hm... Hard for Mom, :=( I'm not going to say things like that tho, tit for tat sort of talk that only takes us farther apart as a Family of SURVIVORS of our Brother, Son, Grandson, Cousin, etc... Love you Baby Boy :) Will always miss your battle to make it to the top !!!
Loving You Deeply...

Well baby bro, I guess it's time to wrap this book up. I am glad it was here to write little notes to you up there in heaven. They will always be remembered and cherished. I have shared some amazing moments with you and great tears of sorrow, thanks for being here! Hey so I haven't told you yet I got married to the most amazing man ever, he reminds me of you when he listens to his music, I conquered that thing we were always talking about. And yes now you can see it is possible baby bro. The girls are amazingly happy and they didn't know their Mom laughed so much...that's weird to me but I can see all the truth in it, so yes your sis is laughing no more worrying about me k! Spread your wings and fly my sweet angel. I know you were there that night with me I mean seriously my card shouldn't have been declined but it wouldn't have been a trip to your famous Casa Corona if I didn't have to call mom and dad right! lol! So I guess this is goodbye for now. I just want to make sure I say "see you later" before this gets printed but it doesn't mean I won't get back on here but everything at work will pick up soon! You are always in my heart everywhere I go I never stop searching for you. Your smile, your laughter, you are amazing. Only the good die young.............

Love Always and Forever

Hey little Buddy - Mom and I got a new car, thought you might get a kick out that !! I know how you always wanted Mom to get New Car for you could drive and chill in it. Got an HHR Chevy, Mom Loves it. Perfect for her. Good on gas so she can visit Ry in Chowchilla, and small enough so maybe no parking lot dings, but yet big enough to carry 5 w/ belts and still a hatch back area for storage. Low profile tires, and low profile windows, they're cool and pretty nice alloy wheels. She loves it and that's all that matters. Always in my Memoies My Son with GOD !!

Hey lil Buddy - I see Sis has been talking to you a lot here at your little guest book. Dad and Mom are sure lonely without you around Son. We are so blessed tho with your sister and her girls, and Ryan, KC, Ry Jr., Nick, and Kinley, you'd just love her up I know. But I want to put a book together here some of the pictues and all of the comments and poems and beautiful things people have said and commented. So I want to put a book together for safe keeping, but am going to keep this guest book going for as many years as I can, to use as a place talk to you Joshy, and maybe unload a thought or two,,,, I Love You
Baby Boy Forever you Dad...
November 8, 2011

Hey baby bro, sissy sure does miss you. Not a day goes by that I don't think of that awesome heart, sense of humor, and smiles. Sorry I didn't make it on here to say Happy 24th bday. I love you so much and I miss you so much....wish you could see me and the girls life right now. I am sure you peek every now and then to see how we are doing up from your paradise. I am so happy in life right now but it's just not the same without you. I stay 24/7 busy to keep my mind distracted but I get a tear in here and there. Finally someone by my side bro that can handle my emotions although my emotions have calmed down tremendously. I didn't think that was possible. I can shed a tear be angry be happy and have one hundred percent support from my fiance. We are growing together and it is the most beautiful thing I have experienced besides my baby girls birth. You know within my own home...I love all the family. Holding strong is harder than I ever imagined. But I do it...knowing one day we shall meet again in God's kingdom. I want to share a photo with you of my current hobby. Oh man I could just imagine your reaction to it and wish I could see it. Wish I could feel your hug and see your smile. ugh. But I love you with all my heart. I don't even know what to say other than I love you. You know how deep your sis' love is that's why I am so "crazy" I fight for love and believe in true love. Ask the good lord my thoughts cuz only he can hear them. Love you my lil bro forever and always your legacy will live on with me and my girls speaking for my home not anyone else's they have their words too about their sadness. Have a wrestling show again tomorrow...it has been such a positive exposure for me and the girls it's always great to get into the things not many know that is even going on especially here in Fresno. xoxoxoxoxox I could go for days on I love you's because I just cherish and love, love hehe I was so crazy fighting for true honest and faithful love and I have it for my family and I finally found the man to offer that love to me. Love you so much. Here's a photo of your silly sis! hehehehe look I look like I could be a real life poster! Miss you tremendously!!! Love always your big Sis.....

My kids are most precious to my heart. I feel so much pain from the pitfalls and even the smallest of issues are so paralyzing for me. Josh your Sister has got to have way too much heart to fit in that chest of hers. But somehow like all three of you I was blessed with the most caring and thoughtful kids (Young Adults) I know. Almost to a fault. Always watching out for others needs instead of your own. Josh I am missing you so, so much myself. I just don't want to ever forget the baby boy Joshua Pratt the God sent to your Mom and me 20 + years ago. You left such an impression on everybody you met. I love and Miss you soooo much JP.

Hey baby bro sorry it has been soooo long since I have made it here to say Hi. Life is chaotic and hectic....but every single time I smile I feel you and my smile just feels half there.....you and I were so into our smiles that just brought joy to those hearts. I am wrestling right now for free say what!!?? I know you would totally laugh n call me crazy but with love...God I miss you. Not a smile goes by that I don't feel you. I know I already said that but it's real and it hurts and I miss you. The girls are good, they are getting their confidence back me and my screw ups but they will be strong in the end....just as their Momma. We all miss you. Me, Destiny, and Dejia each have something of possesion to help us feel closer to you. Love you with all my heart forever and always, Yous Big Sis.
April 26, 2011
My Dear Son - I Love You so much. Already so much time has gone by since I have hugged my boy. God please never let me forget the touch of my Son, the sense of his presence, and his voice of song. Joshua would have been a great man, which you know Lord. I never want to forget the Son I never had the opportunity to really get to know . A son that had so much to offer but no where to give it. I know the good Lord will use your great soul where it is needed more. Lord Knows because we don't. It is not for to understand God and how he takes care of his creations. But instead to have the Faith that God knows !!!

Son memories of you will live on in my grand kids- your nieces and nephews, your brother and sister, MOM for as long as we all live. For goodness sake Dejia has your mug on her pillow. So proud of my Kids and Grand Kids, and sure wish you could see them now Josh. Time has a way of changing things whether you want it to or not! Growing up never ends!
Thinking of you always Son

JOSH - Just wanted to talk to you for a minute and so here I am. Times are not like you could have ever imagined. Everybody is having a very hard time of it. From the East to the West coast. Japan just had a very bad earthquake and Tsunami and then a Radiation leak from a Energy Nuclear Reactor. They have overheated the Fuel Cells and they are melting down. The world is watching of course...
Well the population thinks that we all will be meeting our maker 12/21/2012 anyway so... ...I Miss Daily My Son

Lord I pray that Josh is in good hands and right next to you as the man he was, strong and confident. Lord I pray that he was in good spirits on the night he went with you to Heaven. Lord I pray that you have mercy on Joshua's soul and Teach him the TRUE meaning of Life as only you could understand it. God I pray in your Son's name Jesus Christ, Amen...

February 22, 2011
Thank You My Son for still being the glue - holding us together, I know you have had a hand in the last few weeks and like a cat falling on it's feet we will bounce back to the loving Family that we really are. Cut through it all and the Love is Deep in our Family. When one of us hurts we all feel the pain! Love you and Miss you Joshy.

February 10, 2011
Stuff? Josh I have not had a morning that you are NOT the first thing I think about, sometimes it's a dream that I wake from where you were the Star of my dream. And other times I just wake and before I know it I am thinking about you and what could've, should've, would've been. Over and over morning after morning. I find myself right now thinking about things like, oh Josh you would've got into this or that, new song, new technology, etc... ...what ever I may have just dreamt about.
I Miss You Son
~Dad
February 9, 2011
Joshy - Excuse your Dad for being so emotional when I write to you in this book. Maybe in the next year (2011) of entering in my thoughts and memories. I will learn to re-read the postings before I submit them, and maybe some spell check too, huh? I know you don't care ???
But I misspelled your sisters name? Desirae. Hopefully another year of writing in this journal will help me in venting some of my feelings of how life is affecting me...and other like stuff.
~My Son Your Dad
February 8, 2011
You don't know how much of a learning experience your passing into God's arms has been for me and I'm sure others as well. For me this last year, a year!!wow :|, seems like yesterday and probably will (I Hope) be like yesterday for a LONG TIME. I miss you so much but am lucky enough to have a piece of in Mom, Deirae, and Ryan. I think I have learned that even you Joshy had a hard time carrying the weights that life can put on your shoulders. You did have that uncanny ability to not wear your heart, emotions, and or sadness on your sleeve. Instead I believe you learned to just enjoy life and make others enjoy it with whether they wanted to or not :) It gave us all a false sense of knowing what you were truly felling. I think it really got under peoples skin, that you always seemed to take it all in and let it roll right off. Oh how wrong we were. I have so much more to say son and will now that I am not pressured to get everything before Feb. 1st 2011.
Love You Son

Josh,
I miss you more than words can ever explain. I am so happy Dad has decided to keep this up for another year, I guess I feel it's our link between earth and heaven. A communication tool that I can let out on. My smiles and laughter have been absent since your one year arrived, I don't know where to find it. You were always so happy no matter how heavy the weight of the world became. I just wish someone would grab me up and hold me tighter than I have ever been held before. Ry is doing good but he is in the last days into the start of his success here on earth so his struggles and anxiosness are great and he needs prayer to calm his storms. Talk to God for me. I love you. My tears are great so I cannot see. Love Always Your Big SIS!!!
February 1, 2011
Joshua you know I thoght short and hard and decided to keep this going for another year!

February 1, 2011
JP my Son - What are up to right now??? This question has been really bugging me. For a while I have been wondering, but do I want to know? I mean are you up there watching over us or are you up there in paradise and don't even know us? What is paradise and how long is it (timeless)? How long could you spend in paradise, a place like golden streets and colorful bridges where the waterfalls are glistening with diamonds, little fairies and butterflies everywhere, and such. I mean even that would get tiresome. Josh I am putting together a site to continue this journal on. If I can I am going to keep it link to your FB acct. The site is linked and ready, just needs some finishing touches
Love and Miss You Sooo Much
Joshua Pratt

All would come to Joshy and pour out their problems and you would somehow know just how each person in a way that only they could nderstand you would absorb and then say, what they would need to hear to make them leave feeling better about themselves
and or the problem or issue that was holding them back from going forward. I have heard over and over from people stopping by that you were always there for them in just that way. That in itself brought me to this conclusion. Me myself have had an overwhelming feeling of
calmness with this realization...Knowing that you were there for so many and touched so many people. Joshy over 300 people showed up at your memorial 5 days from your passing and it was all word of mouth. That alone says so much.
Rest easy my Son and know that I will never let your Kindness towards others ever die.

Joshua I want to Close the Guest Book very soon. February 1st 2011.
2010 was pretty much a blur. Seems like it was yesterday that you were here
keeping Dad on edge. But after you were gone and not here for me to worry about
whether or not you would ever find a plan and or a course to follow. Well what I'm
trying to say is that it wasn't you that was keeping me on edge, it was ME. Sure
it was easy to blame you for my woes. But now that your are gone, gone forever I have
noticed that you actually were the glue that kept this family together.
I have really have a new outlook on your Sister and Brother now... So proud of Both of them and I know you were. Love you Son

So today is officially the last holiday or birthday that I am aware of making it a complete full year of missing you in the family get togethers. You know they have a reason and a rhym for why we celebrate this and celebrate that. Christmas was so nice baby bro and I know it's cause we were all holding onto your spirit at the same time. I am glad for the reasons and ryhms because life just gets so chaotic then these holidays pop up and everyone goes on pause for a day to center themselves with the family once more. Of course it is a constant worry and planning to get to that day, but when it arrives being gratefull to have that day is the biggest reward and to just inhale everyone's love and exhale your own love. Today is my birthday....in two days will be the day of the first year of your official passing. Thank you for ringing the bell in my car everytime my spirits were down. I love you my baby bro.
Love Always

Well Baby this is a lot harder than anything I've ever had to do. This is December 9th I haven't even been shopping I am doing good just to get through each day, but your neices and nephews are all looking foward to Santa I on the other hand just can't seem to get in the mood for Christmas. Oh your Big Bro had a baby girl and she is just a joy. I got your birth certificate out and you your tiny little feet gosh you didn't even weigh 5 lbs. when you were born I was afraid I was going to break you so tiny, but you never were a very patient person never learned how to be patient. I just pray God gives me the strenght to go on I miss you more than words could ever say baby. I know you are in a better place, but that doesn't make it any easier to live without you. I have always heard only the good die young 22 is pretty young. We found a tape of you skate boarding when over in Hanford and down in L.A. I always thought you going to be my little pro. I know you would have. I miss you and love you so much,but I can't see any more for the tears in my eyes. We are going to have Christmas with all the family. God I wish you were here. I love you Josh. Always Your Mom

Josh My Boy -
Dad wanted to let you know that we are having Thanksgiving here with Aunt Lynn and Uncle Brent, your Sister and Brother. Grandma and Grandpa are coming too. We should have a house full. It will be a blast my Son! Hope you are there and believe me I will be lookin' for signs that could be you watching over us. Josh this will be our FIRST Thanksgiving without you right there picking at the Turkey !! I still have those pictures with you and Destiny eating those huge turkey legs from last year. Big as Destiny's head, lol. I think last Thanksgiving was probably the happiest you had been in quite a while...Those are the memories that are flowing into my tiny brain now days. Good memories of my son, like the day we spent out at Troy's with the Dune Buggy. You will always be alive in my mind which will keep you alive forever.

Well baby bro here it comes....the holidays without you. We just celebrated Mom's B-day. Like it wasn't hard enough missing my kids for a majority of the day, you won't be there either. I miss you so much, your ever so loving character, jokes, smiles, laughter, kindness. Your last Easter here on earth we spent together at people's church. I remember I went to the first service and couldn't stop thinking about you and you got up on the spot, got dressed and attended second service with me. I keep myself so strong most of the time, I guess I just don't feel anything but I nag. I hurt though so badly when I finally do allow myself. But I have to keep moving forward.....with a very special place in my heart for you.
Love always your big sis

They are either 73 or 74??? I can never do the math right. Grandpa really was torn up pretty bad over your passing. I can't even believe this all myself. I feel Like I'm livin' in a dream. Don't know just don't know what life can bring or not bring. It makes a person wander off into a state of mind Josh that is not healthy for yourself or others around you.
But Today is your Grandparents and my parents birthday. My Dad is 3 hours older than my Mom, your Grandmother. Happy Birthday to Grandpa & Grandpa !!!
Of course everyone will be thinking of you my son and wishing Grandma and Grandpa many more birthdays to come... !!! And Praying for your Soul and Spirit to be in a good place a place reserved by God for you my Son.
Love You ETC...Eternally Thru Christ

Thank You My Sweet Sweet Sis - My feelings on the year come up has on my mind as well. That is really odd. I find myself always wishing I could show Josh the latest Iphone or the latest technology item like the Ipad and on and on. For me that is why I can't get over the time making it better or easier to bear the pain of missing the third and hard coming baby. I would not wish the loss of a child on anybody that's for sure. May as well just shoot em'.
Josh Today we got a little Shih Tzu/Yorkie mix. looks just like a shih Tzu mostly colors are brown patches on both eyes and ears, and brown patches around his shoulders and across his back and on his hinny. and tip of tail. I will take some Pics and next visit to this book I will upload a picture of "Nugget Buster Reedy". Mom wants to name him that. What do you think????
Love you so much my son and I hope and pray for Brother and Sister to heal their hearts and fill their hearts with the spirit of Joshua and use your spirit within them and feel you and knowing that you are the lucky one. The comfort to me is knowing because of talks about it, is that you did believe that Christ had died on the Cross so that you could enjoy life ever after.

To My Dearest Brother,
Oh how I miss you. I know everyone else does too but these are my words to you. I miss that laughter you always had. More strength than I to take a "joke". I try so hard each day to live differently. To cherish more and complain less. To say "I love you" more, lol, imagine that. Never in a million years did I imagine this kind of pain. I imagine you up there making everyone laugh we to lift people's spirits up. It's been seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks and months since you left but not quite a year and I fear for that day, for it is near. Life passes us by so much more each year. I just want to love each that is dear. Oh how I miss you my sweet baby brother. We were a trio and now a duo, but you were our hero. It was you that always had more courage to meet a stranger or say what was really on your mind, and always so kind. The best of of both of us you took to mind. I will forever miss you, they say time will heal, I don't know how, I can't stop the way I feel. I miss my baby brother. I miss the trio here on earth, when Ry and I are together is when your existence is at it's strongest. I feel your presence, but I can't exlain to someone how this would make sense. I love you and I miss you and so do my girls. We three take each morning to remember you. I love you.

Josh ~ were you there last night at your little memorial we had for you on your birthdate? Wow it was so incredible for me and Mom... There were tears and laughter, emotions running all over the place for each person there. But I swear that it could've only been you that out of nowhere made the wind blow. I mean I want to believe it was you trying to blow out your candles that we lit at dark. Here it is in the middle of July and it was nice balmy 96 degrees and not bit a wind all evening(could've of used it). We all started gathering at your park that brings so many memories of you to all your buddies. We all sat around talking about You and the nutty and funny things that you and your friends had got yourselves into or how you always seem to know someone at a party you all went to and someone there would know you and then before they knew it all of you guys were welcome, etc, etc... So at dusk we brought the cake out that Desirae had put together. The most beautiful cake with your picture on your 13th birthday blowing out candles. So now it's getting dark and people need to start gathering their kids and things they brought but first we wanted to light the candles in your honor and no sooner than you could blink an eye the wind came out of nowhere. Got our candles lit and you would keep blowing them out. It actually brought a sense of you being there with us blowing out your Birthday candles. It all turned out very nice you would be so proud of your sister and brother. They made things all come together and made things happen just how I wanted it to be.
Can't wait to see you again someday Joshy.

Hey Bro Happy Birthday! You're in heaven now so I imagine you get to pick your age. I watched a movie once with Robin Williams and his kids had died and went to heaven and I imagine it that way for you (like in the movie) at least until I see it for myself. Today I must be strong. Sometimes I just wish I could take the time to cry and let it out but well time to myself is not something I get. Kids and work. One day this is all going to come out though instead of bits and pieces I will really be able to cry. Love you so much baby bro. And Happy Birthday.
Love Always Sissy

Dad and I were having coffee last week and some guy came to the door and asked for you I know there are probably a lot of people that don't know this guy was shocked. Pretty much everybody was shocked things like that don't happen to us, but here I am crying and I can'

My Baby Boy
Can't take this anymore.
June 30th was 6 mos. and it still seems like you should be getting up in minute and wandering into the kitchen and getting a drink of water(usually) and back to your room for another couple of hours of sleep and then get up and start the routine all over again. I just can't shake it. My life has nearly come to a complete stop. Sorry Son for being so doom and gloom. But is death our ultimate goal???

Well God really does bring people into our life because we need it. So I was working with a temp this year. Usual routine, however for the first time that I have worked here they let her go and my boss brought in a personal friend. Her husband was a cop, but you know all this don't you. She is so much like me. Flakey, loving, talkitive and real, everything I needed to let up the tears. So here walks in someone that remids me so much of myself but does it with more confidence, of course she has 6 years up on me so confidence I believe will come with age. Turns out her husband met you. You know when and where and he had some words of encouragement for you. You were different. Wow, I just learned this today. The whole time me and her worked together I couldn't have felt more blessed. And now I know why. Love you my dearest brother.
Your Most Loving Sister.

I can't take it anymore...I click on this link 15 times a day everyday with so much to say. Dad is right in my opinion time does not seem to heal the pain. The world all around me seems to be coming to an end. So many disasters and death, is the end really near? I watched the book of Eli last night and it was neat. I imagine that's how it will be...I guess. Technology is taking over so much. I love you baby brother and I miss you dearly. I have to hold strong for your neices. Love you.

My Son thinking about you and of course I'm in front of a PC, haha...
So I thought I'd come by here and let you know that first there is the 4th of July coming up and then Mom and Dad's 31st Anniversary, then Your Birthday on July 14th !!!
We will be converging to your Park on Sierra and Cedar.
I am bringing dripless candles for everyone to light at dark and prayers thanking God for making your cross-over an easy one. Looking into your face lying there in your bed on that day of Dec. 30, 2009 I saw no pain in your face at all. No clutching of any extremities, nothing but a sense of calmness and serenity. I know in my heart that your destiny was to be there watching over this family. But I miss you so much I almost feel selfish. I miss you but I bet you miss everyone.
We will meet at the park before dark and talk about our lives with You and the good times when you were there. Whether it was a reunion or just a gathering of people for the purpose of gathering, You always grabbed the ball and took it to the fun side. Everybody's little buddy I Love You My Son Forever...
