To my good buddy Cotton,
I am writing this to you as I cry, I just found out about the accident today, a month later. I am sorry. I read about the accident on Facebook and I have to admit I went completely numb.
I still cannot believe it. I am lost for words, and all I can think about are all the great times we had in high school. I am sorry that we didn't keep in touch, and I am sorry I never got a chance to come see you in Lubbock...I wanted to. You would often come up in conversations between my mom and I, she thought very highly of you. You had such a great heart and you were never upset about anything. You were always laughing and had that huge smile on your face. We spent many good times together...football practice and games, my birthdays, powderpuff, riding in that old blue pickup, and all the times between. Thank you for being a shoulder for me back then, thank you for being one of my best friends. You have always had a very special place in my heart and you always will.

Miss you & Love ya buddy,

Dear Kasi, Kevin, Jake and Jess,
Being the older sister of Jane, I have seen you all share much of life. My heart completely broke in two and many tears have been shed for your loss. I cannot even imagine the great pain. Please know you are in my thoughts and in my prayers. May God hold you in His arms and comfort you.

Kasi, Kev, Jake, and Jess,
I never had the opportunity to know Josh, living so far away. I do feel I know him through you, Kasi, and Kev. Jake and Jess, I feel the same way about you. I cannot imagine your loss. It pains me greatly, but I know the kind of man Josh had become and I am confident that he will always be in the arms of the Father. You are all in my prayers, even more than usual. Had I magic words to ease your pain... but there are none. I wish I lived closer and could have been there for you when you laid him to rest. Kasi, we have known each other so many years, and Kev, almost since you met Kasi... I feel my heart is ripped open. Call, write or email me anytime. I know the Lord will help ease the pain for you all. Keep the faith and all of your friends and family will keep the prayers going.

It's only been 22 days since I woke up in a nightmarish reality. I couldn't believe it for a week. Reality didn't hit me until I got to Iola on Sat. I'm not back together yet, but the bones will grow back and the bruises will fade.

I still cry everyday. I cry for your mother and father. I cry for Jess and Jacob. I cry for Nathan and his folks. I wish more than anything that I can change that night so they don't have to hurt anymore. But I can't.

I know you weren't scared at all as you waltzed across to the other side. You never feared a thing (except for me). I have to believe you took my place to save my life and I'm thankful. I'm so grateful that you gave me all your last moments. No matter how sad I get, I always end up laughing in the end. I laugh at your silliness, and at our debates and the terrible logic you sometimes used.

I never told you how wonderful you are. I hope you know it now. It isn't your blue eyes or your grin - it's your passionate spirit that I adore. A spirit that I'll miss. Until we meet again.

Sweet dreams sweetheart.

Kevin, Kasi, Jess and Jake,
When I got the news, I fell to my knees. I can't believe Josh is not with us anymore. I will always cherish the memories that we all shared when we went to the A&M games. May his light forever shine down and may he live on in our hearts forever. I love you and pray for you everyday.

I send my condolences to the Cotton family. My the Bible be of comforting to you at this time of great lost. The Apostle Paul made it clear at 1Corinthians 15:25--that the "last enemy" will be no more. My the Almighty God comfort you at this time.

It is a loss to all of us who knew Josh. He would go out of his way to help anyone and always had a smile on his face. Even though it has been awhile since we have visited, we will miss him greatly.

Words cannot describe the loss your death has created. I miss you brother. I will never forget all the good times we shared up at Tech whether in Tramps or not. All the fun times at our apartment. I still can't believe your gone. Go with God. I miss you brother.

The first thing you noticed about Josh when he entered a room were his eyes. Next came his easy manner and last, but certainly not least, was his smile. The boy always lit up the room when he entered. His short time here among us has left a multitude of memories and a lasting glow that will never dim.
