Josh, Happy Memorial Day. You are missed. I cried every day for a year solid after you passed away. I continue to remember you. I wish things could have been different. I need to go visit your grave. I hope your family continues to be blessed from your time on this earth. May our souls cross paths again. You're a burning star, one in a million. Love you always.

Josh some of the guys from the old platoon are getting together at the end of this summer and so I googled your name to try and get in touch with you and let you know. I figured I'd need you there as a sidekick... I'm shocked at finding this, rest in peace brother and Semper Fi.

There isn't a day that goes by that grandma doesn't say something about things you use to do.
With Christmas fast approaching us, she talks about the things you use to do on Chrismas. the many times you knocked over the Christmas tree.
the funny things you use to say and do.
How much you enjoyed Christmas.
Merry Christmas Josh. we will be thinking about you.

Another hour, another day, another week, another year. No more time to build memories. Only time to reflect on the memories I have. I miss your smile, I miss your laugh.
Tomorrow starts a new year, another one with out you. I often wonder what might have been. I will never know. I do know the empty feeling without you around.
I will always miss you and love you.

Ten years from now it will still be as hard as it is today to write in this darn guest book. There isn't a day that you’re not in my heart and prayers. I have to believe that you are well on your way to our Heavenly Father by now.
A friend of ours Scott died this weekend. Look for him, take his hand and teach him what you've learned this last year and a half.
i am in Alaska right now trying to finish school so I’m not able to visit your burial site as much as I’d like however I do enjoy feeling your presence in my everyday life.
Josh, i love you and hope you’re with me always.
Your sister in Christ,

Josh,
A year has passed and still you being gone is so very hard to accept. Josh, you brought so much joy, love, friendship and loyalty to all who loved you. Your Dad misses you so much, it breaks my heart.
Our faith has been sorely tested. I have felt your presense and it warmed my heart.
"Today I stumbled and once again
Was lifted up by an unseen hand.
What comfort and joy that knowledge brings.
For I hear the whisper of angel wings.
The guardian angels God sends to all, to bear us up when we stumble and fall.
Trust Him,my friend, and often you'll hear,
The whisper of angel wings hovering near."
Josh, your love for life surrounds us all. You are our angel. We miss you.
Love, Becky

Josh
What can I say that you don't already know. What words can I use that you have not already heard. I know that you miss everyone as much as they miss you. I know your heart is broken too. If you could be with us I know that you would.
Not a minute of time passes that your memeory is not on my mind. I see you briefly in a crowd. I hear your laughter I feel you next to me. I think of a question I need to ask you. Then reality sets in and I just miss you.
Its been a long year.
I love you Josh

If Tears Could Build a Stairway and memories were a lane, we would walk right up to heaven, and bring you back again.
no fairwell words were spoken no time to say goodbye you were gon before we knew it and only God knows why.
Our hearts still ache in sadness and secret tears still flow, what it means to lose you no one will ever know.
But we know you want us to mourn for you nomore to remember all the happy times Life still has much in store
Since you'll never be forgotten we pledge to you today a hallowed place within our hearts is where you'll stay.
We miss you Josh, it's hard to believe it's been a whole year already. I hope Lucille Davenport gave you a big hug for all of us.
Love you and miss you

My dear Josh, my son,
It has been a year sense we have seen you. My heart breaks daily;
You are so missed by so many people.
I love you, and I am very proud of the man that you became. I remember my proudest moments. The day you were born, looking down into those beautiful eyes, counting your toes and fingers. Day of your high school graduation, the look on your face with that big smile of yours.*you did it!!) In San Diego, I saw a young boy become a man that was going to take on the world. And you did that also. I am so proud of you! Your brothers look up to you still, you will always be apart of them and the decisions that they make in thier lives.
With your passing into a bigger and brighter place, I have become a much stronger person. You have given me the strength to change my life. I am grateful for all that I have and all that I will become. And I thank you for that.
I love you,
Until we see each other again!

Hey Josh what's up son.
I missed you for your birthday dinner. I had to do it alone this year. The waitress thought I was a little crazy. You and I know we are both a lot crazy. The apple does not fall far from the tree.
Your are always in my thought's, and always in my heart. You have know idea how much you are missed. I still can't go through you stuff to see what I need to give away. I know your friends would like something to remember you by, but I can't part with anything yet. All your clothes are out of style by now anyway.
I miss you and love you so much.
