My sweet son
Its been 9 years since you left us
I re live that afternoon every year
The pain and the black hole in my heart never gets better..just gets different
I brought flowers to your site
Yellow roses and orange carnations
And put them next to a cement slab I believe left over from that shack
I love you darlin
Going to buy some trees this year in your memory
Love you
Mama

Hey uncle Josh. I have some CRAZY news to tell you. Ok I'll admit it's not THAT crazy but it's still pretty crazy. My dad almost clean shaved a little while ago and OH MY GOSH you guys looked like twins. Like exactly alike it just dumbfounded me. I know you guys are brothers so obviously you would look alike but like WOW you guys were incredibly similar. That's my story for the day. I want to learn more about you when I can. I think I'll try to ask round the family and see if I can learn any details about you without starting the waterworks. I know death hurts people in unimaginable ways. I know it scares the life out of me. So I'll be careful not to ask too far. Maybe you can teach me how I think uncle Joey is. I'll be spaced out and all of a sudden I'm doing something that he'd be doing maybe you can teach me how to fly a plane or ride a camel it's up to you I just want to learn about you. All of you passed when I was so young and I hardly remember any of it. I don't remember you or uncle Joey and I hardly remember papa. It's getting really upsetting to me because you guys are family to me and I've already forgotten papa's voice.its hard trying to remember that everything happens for a reason but even if I don't understand it I want to know what that reason is. I'm just lucky the last memory of papa I have is giving him a hug at the house while he was in bed. But like I said it annoys me because I don't remember you or your brother but I want to. I want to have those memories and i just don't. But that's how I make memories. I learn about you and then I imagine I'm doing that thing with you. Like if I hear about you riding a camel I pretend I'm beside you having a camel race or something. It's helpful sometimes but it still sucks. I'm sorry I dumped that on you but just know I love you all up there and hope you all are doing alright please watch over us whenever possible.

Hey uncle Josh, I got to meet your son a little bit ago. If he is about as similar as you were then you are both amazing people. He has become a smart young man and it seems he is doing well for himself. I hope you are glad to know of this news. Hope you are doing well up there and just wanted to say belated merry Christmas and happy new year.

Invisible squirrels! I miss our adventures as kids and the times that I got grounded to your house. There were so many adventures that I look back on. I hope all is well and know that I always think about the times that we had. I know during the end it was rough and I was too distant I am sure but please know that you will always be in our hearts!

i WENT TO "THE SITE" YESTERDAY..i SAW SOMEONE LEFT A MOUNTAIN DEW FOR YOU. SINCE IT WAS VALENTINES WEEK--I BROUGHT YOU A ROSE AND A FOAM TEDDY BEAR WITH A FUNNY RED BOW. I SET IT WHERE YOU COULD SEE THE "I LOVE YOU' ON THE PLASTIC.
i KNOW IN MY HEART YOU ARE BETTER THAN OK AND ARE WITH THOSE SPECIAL ONES THAT HAVE GONE BEFORE..DADDY, JOEY, GRANDDADDY. YOU GET GREAT AUNT LOUISE AND UNCLE TEX, LILLIAN, UNCLE CHUCK, AND COUNTLESS OTHERS. I MISS YOUR WAY OF MAKING ME LAUGH THROUGH A HARD DAY AND THE PRECIOUS GIFTS YOU HAVE BOUGHT OR MADE ME THROUGHOUT THE YEARS.
A MAMA'S LOVE NEVER DIES --IT JUST GETS STRONGER.
TALK TO ME SOMETIME--IF YOU KNOW WHERE THAT ITEM IS (AND YOU WHAT ITEM) PLEASE TELL ME SOMEHOW
LOVE YOU SWEETHEART--MAMA

My dearest,
Well the first Christmas without you has past. I miss you-but see you everywhere..like you are letting me know all is well and its going to be ok.
I work both jobs again-maybe that is my security and guard against insanity.
I love you--but I know you are safe and surrounded by love that can't be found here on earth.
I was blessed to have such a sweet spirit for my son.
love always-momma

Thank you for defending me when we were kids, thank you for talking me through fatherhood as adults and for everything in between.
I'll drink a Dew and always think of you.
I'll miss you old friend.

Day of wrath! O day of mourning!
See fulfilled the prophets' warning,
Heaven and earth in ashes burning!
Oh, what fear man's bosom rendeth,
when from heaven the Judge descendeth,
on whose sentence all dependeth.
Wondrous sound the trumpet flingeth;
through earth's sepulchers it ringeth;
all before the throne it bringeth.
Death is struck, and nature quaking,
all creation is awaking,
to its Judge an answer making.
Lo! the book, exactly worded,
wherein all hath been recorded:
thence shall judgment be awarded.
When the Judge his seat attaineth,
and each hidden deed arraigneth,
nothing unavenged remaineth.
What shall I, frail man, be pleading?
Who for me be interceding,
when the just are mercy needing?
King of Majesty tremendous,
who dost free salvation send us,
Fount of pity, then befriend us!
Think, good Jesus, my salvation
cost thy wondrous Incarnation;
leave me not to reprobation!
Faint and weary, thou hast sought me,
on the cross of suffering bought me.
shall such grace be vainly brought me?
Righteous Judge! for sin's pollution
grant thy gift of absolution,
ere the day of retribution.
Guilty, now I pour my moaning,
all my shame with anguish owning;
spare, O God, thy suppliant groaning!
Thou the sinful woman savedst;
thou the dying thief forgavest;
and to me a hope vouchsafest.
Worthless are my prayers and sighing,
yet, good Lord, in grace complying,
rescue me from fires undying!
With thy favored sheep O place me;
nor among the goats abase me;
but to thy right hand upraise me.
While the wicked are confounded,
doomed to flames of woe unbounded
call me with thy saints surrounded.
Low I kneel, with heart submission,
see, like ashes, my contrition;
help me in my last condition.
Ah! that day of tears and mourning!
From the dust of earth returning
man for judgment must prepare him;
Spare, O God, in mercy spare him!
Lord, all pitying, Jesus blest,
grant them thine eternal rest. Amen.
With Sympathy to the Roth family,
The Lawsons

To Josh's mother and family, although we did not know Josh personally, we had met him and knew him through Sid. The news of his passing shocked and saddened me. He was a good friend to Sid and we are all sad he is gone. Lauren Darvill, Sid's
mother.

My dearest Joshie
I love you-my comfort is that you are in the peace and love of our Lord. All your time here on earth was helping others-what a kind spirit you have-even through all the trials that were thrown at you. May YOU finally find peace that you are so deserving of--I love you my son--and even though my heart is breaking-I know you are safe from torment...I'll make sure the children will be taken care of and to make sure they know what a wonderful and loving daddy you are and were.
