We are so sorry about the death of your wonderful son. We wish we could find words that would relieve your pain, but we cannot imagine what they are. Losing a child is one of the saddest life experiences possible, and words of true comfort are difficult to find.

Please know that we are thinking of you in your sorrow. You have our sincere condolences.

To dear Laura, we only know each other virtually, but I feel as heartbroken for you as if we had known each other in real life. Words cannot express my sorrow for you and you've been in my thoughts since you allowed us to know about the loss of your precious, beautiful boy. I want to say so much more, but need to let you know that I'm thinking of you and your husband.

Joseph was a great friend in elementary school. He encouraged me to do art and joke around. We lost contact, but still had conversations here and there.

My favorite memory with him was in 3rd grade. In Mrs. Zimmerman´s class, we created a character named the Carrot Man. We also cut up eraser tops to make said carrots for the man (Joseph´s hand).

Going to miss you Joseph.

Joseph was a great friend to Simon. Simon loved the rides home from high school, thank you. Joseph was very respectful when at our home. I remember a sleepover, I had gone downstairs to feed the cats expecting all the kids to be asleep. Nope, Simon and Joseph were up laughing and gaming.

Peace be with you, and your family, and may God bless you with togetherness, as this is a loss no parent should have to face alone. And peace with Joseph as well, knowing he is safe now in the arms of our Lord. God bless all.
