Jaqulin – I’ve never had the honor of meeting your beautiful boy. However, having met you … I feel as though I have met his sweet spirit. Thanks for sharing the stories; it’s a great way to celebrate all that he stood for. Remember the wind ...

I've been thinking about Josh quite a lately. Remembering. Crying. Missing him. Almost everyday, I pass by where he lived, and a part of me just wishes that I will see him and Angel playing outside again. I apologize for my signing this so late, but he has really been on my mind lately. I still love him very much and only wish that I could tell him that today. I'm still praying for you and your family.

Hi Jaqulin,
I met and spoke with you today at work. I cried with you on the phone. I was so sorry to hear about your lost that mere words can not explain. simply saying I am sorry for your lost just doesn't seem to be enough. There should be something else that could be said to maybe make you feel a little better, but there isn't. Only God can help you understand and find peace. Gods knows I pray for that to happen for you. To know that so many people loved your son is just heart warming and I mean that. Reading these entries, visting the site you dedicated to him and talking to you I know your baby was special, beautiful,loved you as you loved him and the people he knew. May God be with you always.

To Jaqulin, Leslie, Vance and Mrs. Odessa.... There are no words that could explain how deeply Joshua will be missed. He was certainly Loved by both myself and his childhood friend and friend for Life, Darren. Sorry it's taken so long to sign this Guest Book. I've been at a lost of words since I just recently found out of this terrible tragedy.

Thinking of you always
