My sweet boy Josh, oh how much I miss you. This is the final day for me to talk to you on here and express my thoughts. The Panthers are in the playoffs and I'm remembering how you used to like them and wear their jacket. You looked so cute in it but again you were always handsome! It's a new year 2009. I've had alot of peace about you through much prayer and where you are and who your with. The One and only Alpha and Omega! They were there when you you were born and are there with you now protecting you, comforting you and giving you peace and joy. Blessed is the man who stands in the presence of the most Awesome God! Your name Jeshua means whom God has saved and He did save you. That is why you are no longer with us because he wanted you for His glory. I can imagine how that beautiful face of yours is shining. I long for the day when I will stand with you in his glory and wonder. Until then my love you are always with me in all I do!
Ashley, if you read this I have your roseary and would like to get together with you. I will be calling you. Josh, we will never forget or give up on the answers revolving the unsolved mystery. Truth Prevails.
All my love
Your Momma Dukes!

My Dearest Grandson Joshua,
Today was an extremely sad day for me. My mind kept going back to 1 year ago today, a day of sorrow that will always remain in my heart. My tears were frequent thru out the day and every scene and memory was visualized. I still see your beautiful peaceful face and how much you looked like Jesus laying there, I can still feel touching your face, your hands, your head and questioning why, why you. You had such a beautiful heart, and an inner love that many people seen. I know God chose you to be with Him, to prepare for the day when we will be with you once again and celebrate with joy. I also know the truth of that night is coming forth, truth always prevails and is revealed in its time, nothing is ever hidden forever. So rest in love my grandson, prepare the pathway and the open door that your family down here will one day walk thru and meet you there. We will never stop loving you, our love is the AGAPE love.
Our love forever, Grandma and Grandpa Berry

Dear Josh
I can't believe tomorrow will be 1 year since your passing. All I've done is think about how much I miss you.
It is hard to even recall the events that took place on the fateful day. Sometimes it haunts me just to imagine it all over agin. Dad and I were talking about you last night and we were saying how beautiful you were and how everyone loved you and how much of a good heart you had. I believe you are happy now and receiving back what you gave to others! I look at your picture every day and feel so empty without my baby boy. The hardest part are all the unanswered questions. Dad and I read a chapter in this book Grandma gave me called "Grieving the loss of someone you love". The subject last night was about anger. We do know we have to let go of it, but it is hard when there is no justice. However, God will help us find a way. We have this kitten we rescued called
Cheeto, he reminds us of Rusty (remember the whiffler). You would love him and he would love you.
Oh yea, that's right your watching us as we speak. Josh, our lives will never be the same without you. You were our first born and oldest son. Don't ever forget how much you mean to us and how very much we miss you! Jacob is trying to move on by doing well in College and again it is hard. He did always look up to you for more than you know! He misses you too and I also know there is a void in his heart! I will close for now by saying goodbye for now but not forever!

Love Always,
Dad, Mom, Jacob, Cheeto,
Kiwi, Sandy and Boots

Joshua
My first born son! I miss you more than words or tears could ever explain. I think about you every day and feel such an emptiness in my heart and soul. We had the most powerful bond a mother and son could have. As I grieved yesterday thinking about the day you were born, The Lord had told me "It is better to celebrate life rather than death". I felt such a peace hearing that and I know your in good hands! Nothing can ever take away the emptiness and I believe we are going to get the answers soon! Just remember in the meantime how much your Mama
Dukes loved and still loves you! I can't wait to see you in your heavenly body!
Love with everything in my being Son!
Mom

To My Dear Grandson Joshua,
I cannot believe that it has been almost 1 year since Jesus chose to take you to be with Him knowing He needed you more than us. Yesterday I hung your picture on my Christmas tree from when you were a little boy and the ornaments you also made for us. The tears still flow thinking of you and your beautiful smile, and telling me "Grandma, I will be alright"during our talks. Remember our 2 hour walk thru the woods behind your home holding each other's hand and hugging and crying. I believe God planned that day just for us and for me to hang onto and have a part of you always with me. I know I will never get the answers to so many questions of that night, but I know you are in God's hands and now are safe from all harm, and free. You are loved where you are and you will always be loved by us, we will one day be with you again. Until then always remember that we love you Grandson.
All our love, Grandpa and Grandma Berry

It's very hard to believe it's almost been a year now. I wish that I had spent more time around you while you were here. You made me smile no matter how bad life seemed to be. I have your picture in my office and whenever I feel down, all I have to do is look at it and I smile. I hope your doing okay up there. I love and miss you.

dunn,

its hard to write this with out crying, i miss you. i feel terrible about not coming to your funeral. i suppose i just didnt want to believe it. though i hadnt seen you for a while before you left us, i have been thinking about you and i want to let you know that. you know it sucks to realize what you have until its gone, and all the shouldve's. it feels as though the world got a little less funny. all i have left now are photos and memories of the fun times all of us had. i miss those days. hope you are forever happy in heaven. we will all miss you very much.

To my dearest Joshua:
It is hard to believe that you have been gone almost 4 months. I miss you so much. Every day when I wake I look at your picture and say "Good Morning Sunshine" because I know you are looking down upon us and smiling. Mothers Day is closing in on us and I can remembr last year when you were here, how much I enjoyed being with you and holding and laughing with you! I can't do that now. However, I feel your presence and long for the day when I can hold you forever. Momma is sure you went to heaven with Dignity! I Love you and long for our time togther again in Paradise!
Love Always
Momma

Joshua
Hey honey! I miss you so much. I cry every day just thinking about the fact that you are gone. It is hard to believe it has been 2 months already. The pain just keeps lingering in my heart for you. I look at your picture every day and am reminded of how handsome and loving you were. The one thing that keeps me going at all is knowing you would not want me to be sad (although I am). If you were here, you would tell me don't cry momma it will be alright! However, your not here and I can't STOP thinking about you and what a great loss this is. Anyway, at least your having a good time with Jesus! Please keep looking down upon us with that cute smile of yours!
Your loving mother

Dear Kim Mike and Jacob, Words cannot express our love for you guys and the loss we all feel. The pain sometimes feels to hard to bear. I know he is in a better place one of which we will all be someday but it seems hard to wait. To my lovely sister Kim honey as a mom I can only imagine the pain you must be feeling and hope that somehow some way I can make you feel better when you come here. I loved him like a son and will always hold him close to my heart. Just thinking about his beautiful smile, his silly ways and how he would always be willing to help anyone he could makes me so proud to say I am his aunt. Even when he was faced with rough times he would still be so happy and take life as it came. His free spirit is something I admired in him the most. Maybe sometimes we take life too seriously and need to take a step back and say to ourselves what is most important. Joshua has taught me that all the material things will fade away but family and friends never will. I only wish I could have another chance to talk with him on the phone again and let him know how loved he truly was and still is. Micheal as a father your pain in the loss of a son must be truly unbearable. I can only hope I can make you feel better as well. Mike I have always felt a closeness with you through the years that I can't explain. I am sure part of it is the fact you gave me two beautiful nephews and welcomed me into your home as if I was your sister. I truly love feeling like a sister to you. I pray for you and hope through all of this you will come to feel Gods presence and comfort. You as a man gave Joshua some of the wonderful qualities he possessed and I believe they came from you Mike. I love you like a brother and cant wait to see you. Jacob to you honey I feel you are the strong one and I know you will go very far in anything you choose. Losing a brother must be one of the hardest things in life to contend with. I can't imagine loosing your mom or one of my brothers. Jacob I see a strength in you that I am so proud of and wish I had. If it wouldn't be too much I would love it if you would call me ocassionally just like Joshua did to let me know what's going on in your life. As far as Lindsey I can't wait to meet her. I have heard so many wonderful things about her and I welcome her into my home with lots of love. Sorry for such a long message guys but I wanted to open my heart to the people I love so much and try to express my hurt and loss as well. I miss you guys and can't wait to be together again. In closing Joshua I miss you and can't wait to to be with you again with our Heavenly Father. All my love Cherie.

All I have left, are bittersweet memories of my cousin Joshua. His rediculous rapping haha, his goofyness, his crazy personality, he always seemed larger than life. He also was like a big brother to me. He would always call me and ask me about the new men in my life, and if they were treating me right... cause if they weren't he told me he'd take care of it haha. I'll never forget his handsome smile and striking good looks. It still feels surreal to me that he's gone. I feel like i'm gonna get a phone call and someone will tell me that they made a mistake, and Joshua is alive. Though i only had a few years to spend with him on earth... i'll have an eternity to be with my cousin in Heaven. I MISS YOU JOSHUA!!! We'll all see you soon! Love Jessica

To an awesome cousin. Even though the times were short when we saw each other, josh and I always had a great time. His free-spirited nature always made times worth living along side him. he always kept you on your toes and made things fun. Getting in trouble together was always a great experience haha. Your memory will never die josh and we all love you so much. R.I.P cuz-

Dear Mike & Kim ,
We can't express enough how our hearts ache for you in your pain.In our thoughts and in our prayers every moment.Our loss is one of heavens greatest gains,He knew that Josh had fulfilled his earthly purpose and now he is to fulfill his heavenly one.Just to know that Josh is with our Lord is such a comfort to us.Yes it is sad he is no longer with us only to see him once again in our Fathers house,we will hold our memories close to our hearts and cherish them always and in this way, Josh will always make us smile.We love and miss you Joshua Vincent Morse. All my love,Jen

To:My Nephew,My Friend,My Blood, I will cherish you in my heart until that promised day when I will walk with you on streets of gold. Josh you had a way about you like no one I have ever met. Your smile could light up the darkest of rooms and I can still hear the sound of your laughter ringing in my heart. I suppose we had more in common than most would have thought. Life's about having fun and doing whatever it takes to make people laugh.We love to see other people smile and understand the importance of helping the world forget(if just for a moment)all the daily things that weigh them down. Until I get to hold you again I will hold onto what you've given me for the last 25 years..... MEMORIES OF YOU, I LOVE U Mike,Kim&Jacob, I love you guys beyond words.I pray God's sovereign peace over you and your home in the coming months.He is a Good and Loving Father who will provide your EVERY need as you call upon Him.I can't wait to see you guys and just spend some good time together. Love Jeff.

Dear Kim, Mike, and Jake. We cannot express how much sorrow we have knowing we won't be seeing Josh again here on earth. We praise God that we will see him again when we are all reunited with him in heaven. Josh is in Paradise now and has no pain at all, no more troubles, only heavenly parties, peace, and joy. What safer place to be than in the arms of Christ? Our grief for you and for ourselves is so deep and our prayers will be for you daily to lean on God, knowing He alone is the one who will make this bearable for you as time goes on. We love you so much. I (Leslie) will miss Josh's quiet southern voice and his gentle way with my girls. We love you all

To Our Grandson Joshua: How does a grandparent describe the heart that is broken and shattered, the burning tears that do not stop, the love that knows no boundaries, the hugs that can't be given, the kisses of joy upon your cheeks, the love within the heart that no longer can be expressed. Being without you is a tragic loss, and no one like your family knows the feeling. Our greatest hope to get us thru each day is in knowing how much God loves you and He now has you with Him waiting for the day when all of your family will join you in Heaven for Eternity and see your beautiful smiling face with open arms waiting for all of us to say Welcome Home! Grandpa and I have the Agape love for you,you are now free! We love you Josh. Grandpa and Grandma Berry

I was deeply saddened and shocked to learn of Josh’s passing.

Josh – You were always such an amazing, outgoing, and funny guy, as well as a very loyal friend. I remember the first night I met you with Brandon, the two of you came to pick me up and you immediately gave me the front seat, without hesitation. That’s just the type of person you were. You were always respectful, kind with your words, and thoughtful of others. You will be greatly missed and the memories we made will stay with me.

Mike, Kim, and Jacob – I cannot imagine your sorrow through this difficult time. My prayers are with you in the days, weeks, months, and years to come. Turn to God for direction, he will see you through.

Brandon and friends – Please know that I admire your courage and strength after losing such a close and dear friend. Any way I can be there for support; I'm a phone call away.

Let us all find comfort in knowing that Josh is home and has found his peace.
