Baby, i miss you so terribly im so lost without you ... im keeping mom strong the best i know how...she is such an amazing women im so blessed to have her in my life.. you live through her.. i see so much of you in her...should i say so much of her in you babycakes... just know you are with me every moment you are my heart and soul..the wind beneath my wings* Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid. You heard me say to you, ‘I am going away, and I will come to you.’ If you loved me, you would have rejoiced, because I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I. And now I have told you before it takes place, so that when it does take place you may believe John 14:27-29* i miss you so much my darling!

GOOD MORNING BABY BOY. I HAVE NOT HEARD FROM YOU YET AND I REFUSE TO GIVE UP WAITING TO HEAR FROM YOU. THAT WAS A BIG PART OF WHO YOU ARE, A SOCIAL BUTTERFLY.. I MISS YOU SO MUCH AND I HOPE THAT YOU FORGIVE ME IN ANYWAY I MAY HAVE HURT YOU. NO MANUAL YA KNOW. HAD TO WING IT ON MY OWN. I AM YOUR ONLY PARENT AND YOU COMPLETED ME. OH HAD I HAD LONGED EVERYDAY EACH YEAR THAT HAD GONE BY SINCE YOU HAD BECOME A TEENAGER, YES THE AGE OF 14, WHEN YOU MET YOUR LOVE JESSE. SINCE MEETING JESSE AND BEING 14 YOU BECAME INTO YOUR OWN PERSON, SLOWLY GROWING ON YOUR OWN. WE HAD VERY VERY DIFFICULT YEARS, WORDS WERE SAID WHEN WE ARGUED AND THOSE WERE JUST ANGER. YOU KNOW NOW AND I ALWAYS KNEW THEY WERE JUST THINGS SAID IN THE HEAT OF THE MOMENT AND NOT WORDS REALLY MEANT AT ALL.. I ALWAYS SAID SORRY FOR HURTING YOUR FEELINGS AND THINGS COME TO MY MIND NOW THAT I AM NOT SURE IF I APOLOGIZED FOR. I SPEAK TO YOU EACH AND EVERYDAY. I ASK YOU TO FORGIVE ME PLEASE OF EVERYTHING I HAVE SAID THAT EVER HURT YOU AND TO PLEASE FORGIVE ME FOR THINGS I FORGET TO APOLOGIZE FOR. WITH ALL MY HEART AND EVERY FIBER OF MY BEING I AM SORRY FOR EVER EVER HURTING YOU, I NEVER PLANNED TO HURT YOU BUT I HAVE SAID THINGS AND DONE THINGS I KNEW WOULD HURT YOUR FEELINGS AND NOW YOU SEE WHY I DID CERTAIN THINGS THAT A PARENT MUST DO TO PROTECT THEIR CHILD AND ME BEING AN OVERLY PROTECTIVE MOM OF YOU SINCE I FIRST LAID MY EYES UPON YOU DECEMBER 21, 1988 9:58 PM AND SINCE THAT MOMENT NOTHING HAS CHANGED SINCE I HAVE ALWAYS GONE BEYOND TO PROTECT YOU AND I AM SORRY IF I WAS WRONG IN DOING SO.

FROM SO LONG OF A DISTANCE YOU KEPT FAITHFUL TO JESSE ALWAYS, EVEN UNTIL JESUS TOOK YOU HOME. I AM PROUD OF YOU AND ALL THAT YOU ACCOMPLISHED. I AM PROUD TO KNOW I GAVE BIRTH TO A PERFECT LITTLE ANGEL THAT HAD A HEART OF GOLD, A HAPPY LITTLE CAMPER, THE ONE WHO COULD MAKE ANYONE SMILE WHENEVER THEY WERE SAD. YOU ALWAYS BROUGHT OUT THE BEST IN PEOPLE AND LAUGHTER WAS A HUGE PART OF WHO YOU WERE. THANK YOU JOSHUA MICHAEL DUNN FOR BEING MY PERFECT SON, FOR LOVING ME AND MAKING ME FEEL COMPLETE. YOU WERE AN ANGEL GIVEN FROM JESUS AS A GIFT TO ME, MEME AND PEPE AND NOW YOU ARE OUR GAURDIAN ANGEL IN HEAVEN. I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU AND YOU KNOW YOU CAN REACH ME AT ANYTIME 24/7. PLEASE KEEP IN TOUCH WITH MOMMY. I MISS YOU SO BAD AND I LOVE YOU WITH ALL THAT I AM.

JESSE LOVES YOU SO KEEP HIM SAFE AND SEND HIM YOUR LOVE... HE MISSES YOU TERRIBLY...

ALL MY LOVE ALWAYS BABY BOY..

Dear Donna,

From one mother to another who has lost a son (mine was 15 when he died in a car accident), I share your sorrow. I know how much your heart is breaking and how much you want to be with Joshua again. I read your entries and see how much love pours from your heart. I give you my support and prayers.

When I get where I'm going
on the far side of the sky.
The first thing that I'm gonna do
Is spread my wings and fly.

I'm gonna land beside a lion,
and run my fingers through his mane.
Or I might find out what it's like
To ride a drop of rain


Yeah when I get where I'm going,
there'll be only happy tears.
I will shed the sins and struggles,
I have carried all these years.
And I'll leave my heart wide open,
I will love and have no fear.
Yeah when I get where I'm going,
Don't cry for me down here.

I'm gonna walk with my grandaddy,
and he'll match me step for step,
and I'll tell him how I missed him,
every minute since he left.
Then I'll hug his neck.



So much pain and so much darkness,
in this world we stumble through.
All these questions, I can't answer,
so much work to do.

But when I get where I'm going,
and I see my Maker's face.
I'll stand forever in the light,
of His amazing grace.
Yeah when I get where I'm going,
Yeah when I get where I'm going,
there'll be only happy tears.
Hallelujah!
I will love and have no fear.
When I get where I'm going.
Yeah when I get where I'm going.

Joshie,

The days are nice
The sun shines bright
But there is no light without you

Flowers bloom
Leaves grow on trees
But there is no color without you

Birds sing
Rivers run
But there is no sound without you

People laugh
Children play
But all is sad without you

Time goes on
Day turns to night
But life stands still without you

People meet
Hopes expressed
But there are no feelings without you

Adventures lived
Experience gained
But there is no meaning without you

Work is done
Time's put in
But there is no value without you

Prayers are said
God is begged
But still I am without you

When all is said
This life I dread
Every day without you

March 29, 2010

I'm so sad and depressed
Is all I want to do is rest
I go to sleep at night
But my dreams I just can't fight

I think of you lying in that bed
And wonder if there is anything I could have said
I wish you were still here
But I know that you are still near

I love you more than you know
I just wish you didn't have to go
I just want one more day with you
And I know thats what you would have wanted too

I miss you more and more each day
There is so much more we had to say
I know I will see you again
But my life is just started to begin.

March 28, 2010

Joshua I miss you. I wanted phone call and email and see you again. It was so great the way you came to see me and was so happy about it, even walking up to me after communion when you saw me at St. Raphael Church, before you went to your bench.
Love you miss you. Claire Duclos

For the family of Joshua. We were enriched by his presence we are diminished in his loss. Yet we are the better for him having dwelt among us as family and friend. Our family shall endure as will our faith in the life and the resurection. My God grant us his peace and abide with us 'til that day in which we meet again at the place that shall know only joy and gladness.

my promise to you.
I promise to always lift you up
When you are feeling down
I promise to wipe your tears
When you feel you need to cry
I promise to keep you smiling
To show off that beautiful smile you have
I promise to be your strength
Whenever you fall weak
I promise to be your voice,
When you can't find the words
I promise to be your eyes
When you cannot see
I promise to be your ears
When you cannot hear
I promise to always tell you what’s real
When you want to hear the truth
I promise to be your dream catcher
To chase away you’re every fear
I promise to be your smile
When you’re frowning
I promise to always cheer you up
When you are down and blue
I promise to give you faith
When you are feeling insecure
I promise to keep you sturdy
When you are feeling unsafe
I promise to listen
When you need to talk
I promise to tell you no lies
Just what is true
I promise to always lend you my shoulder
For when you need to cry
I promise to always hold you
When you need someone
I promise to always care for you
Wherever you are I promise to always be there
I promise to never hurt you and never break your heart
I can’t promise you the world
I can’t promise you the sky
I can’t promise you that we will never fight
I can’t promise you that I will never cry
But I can promise you that I will always be true to you
And baby I promise that I will always love you more than anything with all my heart, no matter what happens or what we go through, baby I'll love you until the end of time!
Ill be your guardian angel
That’s my promise to you!

To the love of my life~
I hope you know that loving you has spoiled me forever. What we had together felt so right I often caught myself smiling for no reason at all. It was great being with someone who was tuned into my moods , someone with whom I did not always have to explain myself. It felt so good to know that you really did accept me for who I am good and bad. Just being with you doing nothing at all makes me the most happy. This kind of chemistry only happens once in a life time , and i know that I could never love another as much as I love you...your my heart and soul baby!! i will love you always!! FOREVER IN MY HEART!

Donna, I am so so sorry to hear of Josh's death. Although I never met him personally, after reading all the beautiful words about him throughout this guest book, I feel like I do know him. I think, in that way, his essence really does go on here with us all. He sounds like an inspiring person who's energy will continue to live through so many others that he has touched (even those, like myself, that he never even met -- that's pretty powerful). My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

We are so very sorry for your loss. Our son Corey remembers him from St. Maries. I can't even imagine what you are going through, our son is only a year older. I pray that Jesus will console you, and give you the strength to get through the difficult time ahead. God bless, The Simmonds family, Indian Trail NC.
