i LOVE YOU JOSH . I KNOW YOU LOVE CAUSE YOUR LIGHT SHINES ON ME EVERYDAY.  DAD

Sure are heavy on my heart son. Just missing you so much.  It certainly don't get easier but at times if feels harder than ever.  Right now all I can seem to do is think about you an remenince. Was remembering the last time we all went out to dinner.  You weren't in such a good mood.  Kind of upset with your friend whom you had made plans to go to the movie with an he wasnt proving to be dependable that day.  If he had been then you would not have been available to go dinner with your sibs an I that evening. Guess though upsetting to you it worked to our benefit,  we got that one more dinner at Chelinos together. I'll forever cherish every single moment, every single memory shared with you my son.  I miss you more than words can express.  I love you Joshua with all my heart now an always,  Mom

I love you Joshua, always in my heart son. Miss you,  love mom

I never stop thinking about you Josh. Miss you so much. I miss all the good times an all the laughter around here that apparently only you could make happen. I Love you Josh. Forever in my thoughts son an always in my heart, love mom

Joshua, it sure has been awhile since Ive visited this page. I guess there just isnt anything left that I havent said a million times. The millions an millions "I love you and miss you" Ive spoke is thought millions upon millions more. Sometimes I get mad but mostly Im just tired and so ready to join you. The world is not a happy place anymore though I do try to see the beauty in it as you did. I sometimes think you were truly spared because for you the world was a happy place and Im not so sure you would even see as being so now. I mean sure you would make your life happy as you could and all of us you love as well but this world has gotten so bad and the things happening in it is more than I care to see or be a part of. Josh, Im always thinking about you and you know that. Just because I havent visited this page or logged many written words doesnt mean your in my thoughts any less. It only means this has gotten to hard for me. I can barely do this anymore and I fight with every waken breath to not focus in on my thoughts of you. Its to painful son but holding all this pain in is getting to hard to. I just cant explain but God knows, he can explain. Oh gawd how I wish you were here. Im tired. Love you son

Missing you everyday brother.  Sometimes I still sit in disbelief thinking about you being gone. I don't think it will ever feel real. 
Can't wait to see you again. Love you Josh. 
~sister

I miss you so much Joshua. You know you're always on my mind an constantly in my thoughts. Love you always son ❤

Every moment of every day you are forever on my mind an in my thoughts. Held tightly in my heart with out end.  I love you Joshua xoxoxo mom

Happy birthday Josh. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think about you. Sending love to you and your family this Halloween. ❤

Baby brother... They say time flies when you're having fun. Well, I've discovered that time flies when you're missing someone too. I can't believe how fast the last 2yrs have seemed to go by & I think about all the years I have left & wonder if I'm experiencing life at all? I try. There's so many things left to see. Kyler just turned 16 & I know that if you were here you would have loved letting him drive you around in your jeep. You probably would have taught him how to go muddin. 
I guess I can't spend too much time dwelling on what "might have been", instead I'll hold onto the memories we have & look forward to the day we're all together again.
In the meantime I'll strive to make new wonderful memories with our family because I know that's what you would want. It's just that each new memory feels incomplete... 

I know.. I know.. Still dwelling.

I love you Joshua. 
Send me a song today please. 
Xoxo~

Well your second heaven birthday today. I sure hope your new life is beautiful, amazing,  and full of joy!  I couldn't bare it another moment if you were any less than happy as you were in your life here on earth with all of us who miss you so very very much. Our lives will never be the same but yours will neither, yours is even better.  One day we will get to join you an share your incredible new life with you. What a day of rejoicing that will be, can't wait!  Can't wait until our family is reunited again never to suffer no more, to never shed another tear. That party in heaven!   I love you so much Josh.  Everyday, though I fight not to, I am thinking of you.  No matter my actions,  my thoughts, trust an believe you are there.  You are always with me! I carry you with me always every moment of everyday, you remain with me in my heart and in my soul.  I miss you son but I know your life is way better now than any life here on earth could ever be.  My grief is selfish.  I know your full of joy, probably in total aw of the wonders before you.  I love you Joshua,  you will always be my Halloween pumpkin. I would not give Back those twenty three yrs for anything at all. I would rather suffer eternity than not to have known the love an joy of life with you on earth. I won't have to do that though,  God promises we will have eternal life together with him in heaven. Our family will be reunited so this I hold on for. Well son I guess that is enough blabbering. Miss you son, can't help it.  I'll be seeing when God decides its time. I'm pretty sure it won't be so long and he will be calling all his children home.  Xoxoxo, All my love always-Mom

Today marks 2yrs too long without you baby brother. 
I miss you more than I can describe in words. 
You will always be my lil munchkin, best friend, heart. 
I love you Joshua. 
Big Sister Hj.

Thinking of you always son,  love you with all my heart ¢½mom

I love you Josh.  Missing you more than words could ever describe. Can't get you off my mind and I don't suppose I want to.  I just wish it wasn't so painful.  I wish it wasn't real.  I wish more than anything that you had never went away.  I wish you were here Josh,  I love you son. Forever and always-mom

What is left that I haven't already said. I miss you so much Josh.  They say it gets easier as time goes by but I disagree, it gets harder with each passing day. Lately it's been so hard that I can't really look at your pictures other than a quick glance. The ache in my heart is indescribable son. There is not a moment in any day that you are not in my thoughts. No matter what else I have going through my head you are there with it. If I allow myself to keep you onn front burner then I can't breath and my chest feels it's going to explode.  I can't do it very long at a time.  I just can't Joshua. I want to but the ache in my heart becomes physical and most painful thing I have or will ever endure. To think about good times hurts even.  People always tell me to think about all the  good times as if it will make me smile but what they don't get is that Is what brings the tears.  There are only good times to remember and that's why it hurts so bad and why i miss you so much because you made us all happy.  Son we try but that genuine joy and happiness we all once had seems to only be a mask that we wear each day now. I go to bed each day knowing when I wake that it will be another day of missing you and fighting off the  pain.  I love you Josh and I miss you. We need you, I need you. I need you to bring the happiness back to our family.  Tired of this mask I wear.  It's Christmas time son. I have bought more gifts than I've  ever bought in my life because shopping helps keep my mind occupied while still thinking about you.  Im all done I think though.  I plan to  pass out gifts few days before Christmas because Christmas day I'm going to spend only with you.  I'm ready for us all to be together again.  I wish it would happen now.  Just miss you every second of my life. Goodnight Joshua,  I love you baby

Another Thanksgiving without you.  Those Deviled eggs aren't going to steal themselves.  I miss you so much.

Well, brother,   September is almost over. My house smells like apple pie & greens. I cried today while i was doing the dishes. It was such a beautiful day & with the fall smells I just expected you to walk in the door, but of course you never will again. To think that hurts so much. I get a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach & then the tears come. I have to push you to the edge of my mind most days just to get through. It's still so hard to accept & I don't really want to.
Gotta go now. Vic is about to smoke some ribs. Another meal you shouldn't be missing.
I love you brother. I miss you so much. More than I ever imagined.

It's been almost a year since you've been gone & not a day still goes by that I don't miss you or think of you. Keep watching over us. XO.

Well here goes another holiday without you. It's Easter. I miss you so bad. They say the first year is the hardest. But the longer you're gone the more I miss you. So I can't imagine how much harder it will be when I have to miss you more everyday as time passes. I wish I could remember last Easter. I don't remember what we did last year. I do remember our last July 4th together, and it was awesome last year. I'm thankful I'll have that memory. I feel scared as time passes that I won't remember things because my memory is so bad. And now all I have left is my memories. I'm afraid of losing them. I keep having dreams of you but you're a little boy. They're like I'm watching an old movie kind of dreams. Maybe my brain is helping my memory in my dreams. Heather and I are going to a TAPS retreat in a couple of weeks in New Mexico. TAPS has been a great program. I just wish we didn't need the program. But it is comforting that there are other siblings all over the US just like us who are missing their soldier sibling too. It's hard to comprehend that anyone else could possibly hurt like we do. But on the same note, I know that others do, and it makes this grief journey not feel so isolated and lonely outside of our family. It reminds me that it's a part of life for everyone whether I want to believe it or not. Maybe it didn't happen in the order I thought it should have. But it happens to a lot of people every day. Hey, TAPS is publishing a poem I wrote you in their magazine soon. I'll show it to you later. I can't wait to see you again one day. I love you.

I sure am missing you Josh. My heart aches to hear your voice, see your beautiful face. My arms ache to just squeeze you tightly an never let go. A phone call from you ending with love you would be worth more than all the gold in the world. What I wouldn't do to have you back, I would do anything except sell my soul to the devil an even that would be tempting. I miss you so very much an the pain in my heart is sooo intense and never ending. I love you my precious an beautiful baby boy. The man you became made me so very proud, you always made me proud but grew to beyond my expectations. You made us all proud the same way you were proud  of all of us. Ubuntu! I love you Joshua an one day we will all reunite again for the most joyful day ever, never to be separated again. Until then you will remain forever held tightly in my heart an soul. I love you baby. I'll be thinking of you always an I'll be seeing in my dreams. Hugs an kisses, love mom

Was just thinking about you! Really miss you Josh, you always knew what to say or what song to play to make times like this easier! And then the the song Sail just comes on I love u!

Well brother... Here it is, Patty's day & it's much quieter than I anticipated it would be 6 months ago. I miss you soooo much. 
I love you.

Wish you were here Josh. Life is so different without you in it. It just seems so unreal,  unimaginable!  All I know is we sure must have needed you around here because everything is different an sad now. Not sure if it's going to get better here but I sure hope your content an at peace full of joy an happiness. Your remembered forever son an held so very tightly in my heart an the heart of many others. I love you Joshua,  my Halloween pumpkin! ?MOM

I sure miss you brother. My brain has been so foggy since you left, I wonder if it's ever going to work right again. Just wanted to say that I love you. Seems that everyone is just having the hardest time without you. See ya around munchkin.

Josh,
Tonight's one of those nights when I wish you were here to talk to.. The world has seemed to once again knock me down to my knees with fear, anger & sadness..

It's our first Christmas without you here brother. It's bittersweet as we're surrounded by so much love with in this family and friends of ours. But we're missing you so much it hurts. I love and miss you. I know you're here with us in spirit. That does bring some kind of comfort. Wish I could hug your neck though.  One day when we meet again for our reunion the sky... All my love

"Because someone we love is in heaven, there's a little bit of heaven in our home." 
Today marks 3 months since you've been gone. I talk to you often as well as visit you under the stars. Your smile is what keeps me strong as I know you'd want me to be. Love & miss you Josh.

Haha... brother... it never fails every time I post on here auto correct gets me every time. Lol. Love you.

Happy Thanksgiving Josh. ? 
Love & miss you.

Brother,  idk why every time I say I love you on here a question mark pops up afterwards. There is no question about it. I love you & the rest of our family with all of my soul. I never knew it was possible to miss someone this much. I remember how sad I was when you went to afgh & how I cried all the way home after dropping you off with your unit listening to "sidways". I thought that was the worst feeling ever... I was so wrong. Nothing compares to this emptiness & I hope I never have to experience anything else close to this. It hurt when grandad left us just a week after we laid your vessel to rest, but at least I knew he wasn't hurting anymore. I love you & Miss you everyday Joshua.

Today I'm thanking you for your loyalty, devotion & bravery. History has taught us over & over again that freedom is not free. When push comes to shove, the ultimate protectors of freedom & liberty are the brave men & women in our armed forces. Heaven was needing a hero- someone just like you. 
Miss & love you Josh. <3

Thank you for all you did for us all. Love and miss you with heavy heart.  I know I carry you in my heart alwsys. Happy Vets Day love you

We celebrated your birthday in honor of your life. It was bittersweet night. Smiles in sending balloons to you in heaven. But sad because you weren't here. It never hurts less any day. It just becomes more sustainable and that's because we know its what what you'd want. I miss you so much it hurts. All my love.  Tara

As if each day isn't already a struggle to get through, I now have to once again be reminded that you're not here. Today's not only Halloween, but also your 24th Birthday. I visit you often with a candle & blanket while playing some of your favorite songs. I only wish heaven had visiting hours. 
Happy Birthday Josh.
Love & miss you.

Its Halloween day josh, Halloween Will always be an extra special day, your birthday! I love you so very much. Happy birthday son.  Remembering you always, love mom

Today I'm going to memorialize you on my skin. People wonder if I'll be able to sit thru the whole sitting of a portrait tatoo, but I know that I will because nothing physical could ever hurt as much as the pain of losing you, brother. I miss all our fun times together,  your random texts, our talks.... just seeing you walk thru the door. I love you always Joshua. ?

I miss you so much. It hurts everyday. I go through the motions everyday. I'll never be the same. I love you brother.

You always had the courge just to say what ever was on your mind , I love that about you ! You always have the right words to say even thoe sometimes they irritate me ... I would always listen and sometimes argue back (: but that's what made me love you <3  You are and will always be an amazing man ! Keep watching over us up above cause I know your there watching and probably laughing at all our mistakes ... But ayye where not all perfect and you know that !

"I guess heaven was needing a hero- somebody just like you, brave enough to stand up for what you believe & follow it through. When I try to make it make sense in my mind the only conclusion I come to is that heaven was needing a hero like you." <3

Josh, thanks for always being an amazing friend and extended part of our family. We'll never meet too many others who are as outstanding as you.We love and miss you so much. Until we meet again RIP. Love:Chris, Marissa and Isaiah

Joshua may you rest in peace. I miss all those fun times and laughs you & Tyler and I had in school..You were such a funny and loving guy. See you again one day?? Love you.

I love you brother. I miss you every day. For as long as I breathe,  nothing will ever change those two facts.  Thank you for becoming  someone I looked up to & for always being there for us.  You really make me proud baby brother.... See ya around. Xoxo

Already did this but only few days left to light the candle so just had to do it at least one more time. You have been such a bright light in my life an all that knew you. You will shine forever in my heart josh, always loved an remembered as you are a child of mine. My children being my greatest achievement an greatest blessing of my life. You make me proud son! All my love, mom

Everyday you give me, along with others, a sign that you're here; whether it's through a song of yours, butterflies in the air, a dream or simply the cool fall breeze that loved. I visit you often & after leaving I feel a relief of peace & comfort. 
Miss & love you. I won't say goodbye because goodbye means forever- I'll see you soon. <3

I wish I could of had one more hug and one more of your infamous smirks! I refuse to tell you bye tomorrow. If it were possible, I would be getting a high five and a "see ya later, kid!!"

You and I always shared the same values on just about every subject there is and you always brought a smile to my face with your humor. You will be missed.

Prayers to your family and friends. You'll never be forgot.

Josh I only met you once but I heard so much about you. The one time I met you it was when you were helping those that had just suffered great loss in the recent May tornados you were being an amazing comforter and helper in their time of need.  I pray that God will give your family peace and strength beyond anything we can understand in their time of great Loss.  Your memory will live on in their hearts forever and ever.  RIP

Our departed friend and brother, Josh will always be remembered as an original soul.

"For he who sheds his blood with me shall forever be my brother". See you on the other side Josh.

My heart goes out to you during this time of grieving. I pray God's strength covers you in this time of sorrow...                               Rosie B. (Bethany, OK)

Your absence has left us all absolutely devastated. You are so very loved and so very missed. I am trying to find comfort in the memories we shared and the thought that you are in a better place. I know the pain we all feel will never stop, but I pray it eases with time. Thank you for being a part of my life and brightening so many days. Until I see you again little brother- keep us strong and know how much you meant to an unimaginable amount of people. I love you!

Rest in Peace Josh. You'll forever be missed & our lives won't ever be the same without you. Please watch over me & give me strength to get through each day. I won't say goodbye because goodbye means forever- I'll see you later. 
Love you.

 Josh you were one of the best friends I've ever had we could talk about the real stuff then laugh two seconds later... always listening to music and watching movies!  you have made a huge impact in my life and I wish you nothing but peace!

The world lost a beautiful person and heaven gained an angel. We love you and we will see you again.

Joshua you were a friend and a brother.. I will miss your laugh.. your laugh was so infectious and would always brighten my day.. You were a loyal and honest friend that would always tell me your honest opinion, which I took to heart.. Your spirit will live on in the 146th forever.. Rest in peace knowing that you left a legacy that not many can live up to..

I will never forget you Josh. You were a great man and a big impact on my life. Forever missed.
