Josh,
I truly can't believe you have been gone a year and it has not gotten one bit easier having you gone. I miss you as much as the day you left us. There are days I feel I truly can't go on but somehow find the strength in hopes of seeing your beautiful face once again and holding you in my arms. I love you son and my heart will forever be broken.
Love you
Mom

It has been three months now and this won't get any better for me to write ,there is just no words I can say about your lost. I think about signing this book every, every day but the words just don't come to me. Because I know what a close family all of you are. God Bless you all, & may God make your Hearts grow stronger everyday for each other.

Joshua,
We missed you horribly during the holidays and your birthday. It wasn't the same and never will be. We try and make it through each day the best we can but there is not a single solitary second that goes by that you are not in my heart. I love you so much and can't wait for the day for us all to be together again.
I love you son

Josh,
I can't believe you left already, I am still in shock, it's been more than a month, I cried but feel like you are still here somewhere.
One day you came into our life and just made it shine with your sweet shy smile. We were able to share so much in such little time, music, places to see (maps), dreams, careers, etc. Can't forget the day you volunteered at the salvation army in wichita falls, and you bought a suitcase for 15 cents. You were ready to go! and didn't even have a ticket or a passport but you had a map and a dream to follow! I think of you everytime I hear reggae on my radio, makes me wonder if you are tuned in on the same station, dancing along the Jamaica beaches. Paula and Hugo say hi and miss you very much. I still have your picture on my refridgerator, I know I will see you some day... in heaven. I will recognize you from the suitcase... I will always love you and I will always believe in you.
You will always be in my heart, in my thoughts and in my prayers and you know it.
Love you forever...
Aunt Amy Emrich, Paula and Hugo
