Josh, we all miss you so much. There is not a day that goes by that I do not think about you. My heart aches every day at the thoughts of me and you raising our children together and having our family get togethers. I know you are still always there in spirit.
We will never understand why you were taken from us so early, all we can do is remember all the good times we had together and keep all the stories we have of you living on. Blake is now a little more than 6 months old and he looks just like you. His smile lights up the room just like yours. He is a everyday reminder of how special you are to everybody who loves you. Thanksgiving is coming up soon, I know you will be there but it still won't be the same. I am going to miss our conversations while watching football, eating turkey dinner, and getting everything prepared for our family dinner. Aiden is not going to be able to say " come on uncle josh come play with me" and without hesitation you would be right there playing trains or whatever it is he wanted you to do with him. I know aiden will never forget the times he got to spend with you and I am thankful for the memories you left for him. We all love you sooo much and you will never be forgotten, till the time we meet again r.i.p. my brother I love you with all my heart.

Missing you this morning.

December 26, 2012
If tears could build a stairway
And memories were a lane,
I would walk right up to heaven
To bring you home again.
No farewell words were spoken.
No time to say good-bye.
You were gone before we knew it,
And only God knows why.
My heart still aches in sadness
And secret tears still flow.
What it meant to lose you,
No one will ever know.
Missing you so much <3

When I come to the end of the road and the sun has set for me, I want no rites in a gloom filled room. Why cry for a soul set free? Miss me a little- but not too long and not with your head bowed low. Remember the love that we once shared. Miss me- but let me go. For this journey that we all must take and each must go alone, it's all a part of the Master's plan- a step on the road to home. When you are lonely and sick of heart, go to the friends we know. And bury your sorrows in doing good deeds.
Miss Me- But Let Me Go...
We all love and miss you!

Josh,
There aren't enough words or expressions to explain how I feel without you here. You lived your life the way you wanted to make yourself happy, and always carried a smile around to share with the world. Your gift of cooking has been spread, your love of life has been felt, and your next generation is about to arrive. There is no one like you, and there never will be. I will always be grateful that you were my brother and a huge part of my life. I am so proud of you, and I promise to always look after your child. I hope you are eternally happy, safe, and peaceful. I look forward to seeing you again some day.
I love you more than I could ever say.
Always- your "sissy poo"

Today a butterfly flew by me. I thought to myself, where have you been butterfly? You came into my world as a cocoon, all by yourself, and blossom into a butterfly to fly off and see the world. Why dont you realize as you flutter through your days, how much you touch us around you, in your soft and gentle way. You dont even know the wonder and awe you create around you, as you flutter your wings, you inspire life, surrounding you. You seem happy and go on your way, saying, dont worry I will be ok. I am sad to see you go, out on your way, knowing my life will never be the same. You left an imprint of all the beauty life has to offer. Just knowing you
leaves my heart tradgectly
softer..
The twinkle in your eyes and the charm in your smile will never leave me. And my heart will never leave you. You will be with me wherever I go. Loving you sweets forever and a day
My heart goes out to your family, your baby boy or girl, and his/her mother. Your legacy will live on through your child and we are all graced to have you as out guardian angel. Give Alissa my love up there <3
