HI HONEY!!!!!!!!! I MISS YOU SCOOBY DOO LOL. Well what can I say your always on my mind and I always wonder what would have been if you were here. Alot has been going on lately and at this time I believe GOD took you before the storm got the best of you. You will always be in my heart Josh that goes w/o saying. Lord knows I've had so many losses but, I haven't lost you I keep you safe and tucked away in my heart. Only you and I truly know the bond and friendship that we had and that I hold on to until it's my time to enter the gates of heaven in other words are memories will live with me as long as I am here.

February is here your month! I miss you and I wish you were here to celebrate your birthday that is soon to come. You would have been 27yrs old almost reaching that 30 mark! I love you Josh and not a day goes by that I don't think about you. I carry with me everyday your heart; the heart to be strong when things around you are chaotic, the heart to fight in the midst of the struggle and the heart to be ME regardless of what the outside world thinks and no matter what they say. February marks alot of things for us and I'm just happy I got the time to be apart of you to truly see that "SPARK"! your memory will always live on I love you. I pray that your soul is at rest.

The Dream
I had a dream about you the other night
I woke up and prayed with all my might
I asked god why did he snatch you from my arms
I said you didnt cause harm
You taught me so much about life
That with you gone nothing seems right
Did i tell you about my dream
You came through the door with a smile that made my heart soar
I didnt wanna wake up
I just wish you were here,
to wipe away the tears
The tears that are deep in my soul
I wish I had control of everything in life
Life taking away peoples strife
But I guess thats not the way things go
I hope your soul is at rest
God Bless your family and your soul
I love you Uncle Josh

It's been so difficult for me lately to come to terms with the fact that your gone. The preacher at church said "Your supposed to walk through the storm not sit in it." Its just so hard to trust god and let go but, I know I have to. I miss you so much who would have know you wouldn't have a tomorrow. It's the worst we had such good times and I can't believe there all just memories now. I love you & I miss your COCKY attitude! Your memory will always live on in the heart of this family. We love you DOBO!

In My Pocket
I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.
My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.
They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.
Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.
But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

I ask you father to bring closure into the hearts of family & friends, for now he is deceased and he must now rest in peace. Father no one knows your reason only you truly know when it's your last season. Bless Josh in the heavens for he is honored to be in your presence. Amen

I miss you & I love you more than words can say. You were and still are very special to me & Milan. I will cherish our memories forever. God has brought you to a better place and I pray that your watching down on us. Grieve is such a hard thing to go through when its not reality that a loved one is gone. I love you Josh so much and you will always be in my heart. God rest your soul.

You know I had to write somethin for Milan. She misses "her" Josh. Everytime she see 'E' she's like "where's Josh?" She knows your song by heart now, you would be laughin at her. She asked me to call you the other day and I couldn't say anything. How do you tell a child somebody she cared about is gone. We joke about my name "fat girl" yall used to call me and she is ur lil mama. Oh and you were 'Scooby Doo'!!!! I know you have a place in her heart as well as she had one in yours.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Be Still
Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.
Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.
If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.

Josh,
This is so hard to accept, another day goes by and i'm still in shock. I only wish I can change the past. I can't understand why this had to happen to you. What I do know is that as hard as it may be to accept, you are in a better place now. In and out of the twelve years we've always stayed connected, no matter what, the love was always there. Through the good times and bad. Through the laughs and cries. On the broke dayz and paid dayz, the memories we shared will never be forgotten. I only wish I had the chance to say good-bye. I will miss you soooo much. I love you, Baby. I will keep you in my prayers.
May God watch over your children and see them through; protect them and keep them safe. Amen
My heart goes out to your family! Ana & Nandi,Daddy,Yvette,Nani,and Ray and family, if you need anything PLEASE DON'T HESTITATE TO ASK! I'm so sorry for your lost - I know how special he was.
Love always,
