Dear Pam and Matt.   We have been trying to get in touch ever since we found about about your loss but have been unable to. While very late, please know we both are very sorry for your loss and hope your memories of all the good times you had make bearing the loss a hint easier. Thinking of you and hope to connect.

Regan and Martha

There is nothing I can say about this day except, "I love you”. When I replay the day in my head, I remember the call and the words, “Josee is gone”. Still hard to hear or recognize. I can’t imagine how it must feel as a parent or a brother to carry that loss. I also remember the bravery and strength of character in you all, and especially of Korben, who was there by your side when you called. What an amazing man Korben is to stand tall there in that day. It’s a fresh wound. I still cannot understand. It still aches and is scarred and the nerves are still raw.  This past year has been challenging, emotional, exhausting, and murky. But She, Josee, was not murky at all. She was alive and clear and full of spirit and the brightest light in the room. And, that is how I remember her. My wish for you all: Matt, Pam, and Korben is to remember that light and keep it with you and strive harder and live harder and shine brighter. Because I need you in the world and we, our family, needs you all in the world. We love you. 

Dear Korben, Pam and Matt,
We are both shocked and saddened at the news of Josee’s passing. We remember her as such a bright, free spirited, intelligent and creative young lady, who always filled the room with her brilliant smile. We cannot imagine the pain and loss you must be feeling. 
Please take care of yourselves. You will be in our prayers.

Matt--

You and your family are in my thoughts - I am so sorry for your loss.  

Sincerely,

James Mooney

My daughter rides for Boulder Junior Cycling, and though we did not know Josee, her beautiful, kind spirit and skills as a rider are evident from  comments by those who knew her and loved her,  and we can see the positive impact she made on so many, and her spirit will live on in them. We have made a donation to BJC in her memory, and wish you  our deepest condolences.

May her memory be a blessing.

Dear Pam, Matt, and Korben -
Although you only spent a short time in Little Rock, we remember all of you fondly. Korben and Josee were bundles of energy and giggles together usually followed by a large dog watching over them. 
Tommy and I are so sorry for the loss of your bright, beautiful Josee. 

With sympathy,
Tommy Farrell and Paula Guajardo 

Pam and family,

 We are so sorry to hear about your loss.  We are thinking of you and wish you moments of peace and comfort as you grieve your loss and celebrate Josee's life.

-James and Emily Gephart

Pam, Matt and Korben, 
We are so deeply sorry for your loss.  Josee was such a good friend to Ruby when they were little kids. She was so much fun, had a wonderful, creative spirit. She loved dressing up herself and Ruby when she would come over. They always found something fun to do. Those are sweet memories. I will always miss our times together with you two, and the kids playing together. Much love and comfort to you and Korben. With deep sympathy, Eve, Don, Canyon (Ruby) and Spencer

Matt and Family
We were saddened when heard the news from Helen. There aren't words, but please accept our deepest condolences. We will keep you in our thoughts and Josee in our hearts.

Pam, Matt, & Korben- 

I'm deeply sorry for your loss. I had some great times riding with Josee with BJC. Peace be with you.

Pam, Matt, & Korben,
Your tremendous loss has left all of us deeply saddened.  May it give a little bit of comfort knowing that your pain is shared with all who knew Josee.  From taking care of my black lab to reverently disposing of a dead squirrel in the backyard, Josee had an amazing gift with animals.  She will be missed dearly.


Dear Pam, Matt and Korben,

I am so deeply sorry for your loss.  I know how much love is in your family, and how much Josee will be missed.  I cherished her laughter, energy, thoughtfulness and compassion.  My fondest memory of this beautiful young woman as an animal whisperer, was one afternoon she was able to catch and cuddle a baby duck.  It was the most adorable and magical thing.  I realized that she had such a gentle and kind spirit.  I want you to know just how much I love her! and you all.  You are all so amazing.  Josee will remain forever in my heart as the most courageous and gentle soul.  All my love
Julie

Matt, 

I'm so sorry for your loss. You and your family are in my thoughts.

I know my words won't help with our lose. But josee is an amazing person that everyone will miss. She brightens our day, and with her gone my world became dark. Josee was the first person to show me how to live life to the fullest. She is my hero. And will never forget her. I love you josee. You were such an amazing friend. Thank you. Sleep well love. I'll see you again one day. 

Matt, Pam, and family,

On behalf of my family and team members who worked with you (Matt) I'd like to express our deepest sympathy.  Our thoughts will be with you during this difficult time.

Brian, Family and Team

We are so sorry for your loss.  I have so many memories of Josee from BJC.  Sitting on the back of Katey’s car catching up before practice, driving her and Korben home from Lyons and listening to them talk about their world, her general sense of curiosity and joy . . . There are so many things I loved about her.  It always made me smile watching her interact with other kids before practice.  She had a way of making people feel noticed.  I hope somewhere, somehow she feels the outpouring of love people have for her, she realizes what an incredibly lovely human she was and how deeply her presence in this life will be missed.  

Her smile and joy will be forever in my heart.  We are so very sorry for your loss.  Take care of yourselves.

Pam, you and your family have been in our hearts these past days.  It has been a gift to read here the many joyful remembrances of Josee!  What a beautiful soul she must have had, and a light to those around her.   We are keeping all of you in our thoughts and prayers.

I will never forget the intense love my brother had for his first child, the only daughter of her generation. Josee, like Wendy & the Lost Boys, the bold leader, charging ahead, blazing the trail with her brother and 4 male cousins in tow, Korben, Brandon, Stone, Ryan, & Cedar. Her pure zest for adventure was contagious. An animal whisperer from early on. Her smile and sparkling eyes lit up a room. I’ll never forget the bond I saw with her and her brother Korben, reminding me of Matt & myself. A life lost is always sad, but a life lost too young is unfathomable. To Matt, Pam & Korben, we are thinking of you daily and look forward to a time when we can embrace in tears and hugs and, eventually, soldier on. Much love from our family. Josee will continue to be a bright light shining in our hearts forever. 

My memories are of laughter, a bike riding gorilla, falling during bump n’ thump, and jumping in ice cold creeks. They are of a outgoing and charismatic personality that wasn’t afraid to say what she thought, and would stand up and be strong for what she believed in.  

I remember a natural teacher, a friend to all: she drew people to her, and often had them in fits of laughter.  A complete pleasure to coach and a kind and caring team mate, Josee brought happiness and joy to a lot of people.

Thank you for being part of my life.  You will be missed.

Pam and Matt,
We are so sorry for this incredibly tragic loss.  Please know that you have our love and deepest sympathy.
Brian and Sarah Cooper

I had written a poem about Josee a couple years back and I would like to share it. It is called Her for You.

No one can really explain who or what she is, but they can tell you about the things she does. She stares into space, never thinking or worrying about the present but always about the future. She notices the little things most do not, and she cherishes them like no other. Even in silence she laughs, like a whisper in the dark, calling to other people, trying to make them happy. She runs her hand along the walls of her house, of her school, and the things around her, like she's trying to memorize the feeling so she doesn't forget the feeling of the places she has been, the feelings she felt, the people she met. She doesn't like things for just what they're, but for what they're a combination of. She almost never thinks of herself, always worried about making other people feel accepted, happy, and heard. She doesn't accept pain from others towards herself or towards others. She seems over protective like a mother, and we all take it for granted, but one day, one day deep down we are going to want her protection from the pain of the world, her comfort to heal you from all your pain, and her smile to ward off all the sadness of your life. She seems weak and punny, but the more you get to know her the more you realize she is strong, stronger than you, she gets insulted for her actions, her looks, but no she doesn't let it get to her she looks upon the pain and stands strong, strong like a stone, and you realize deep down you love her, either as a brother, as a sister, as a parent, as her lover, or as a friend. And for all these reasons you can't stay away from her, you feel attracted to her, and for that reason she stays the same person just for you. And you love it. And you love her.

Matt, Pam, and Korben,
We are terribly sorry to hear your sad news. Memories of you are always with us as we drive by your old house here in Boulder often. Sophia and her family send heartfelt prayers.
Anna Lull


Pam- I am so very sorry for your loss. Know that I’m thinking of you and your family during this difficult time. I am sending love, hugs and prayers. Laura

We are so sorry to hear that Josee has passed away. She was such a bright light on the Fairview mountain bike team during her freshman year, always smiling and laughing; we all missed her after you moved. Our thoughts are with you during this incredibly sad time. 
Corinne McKay and Dan and Ada Urist 

At a loss for words or how to help I turned to look for an appropriate phrase or quote.  An unknown author wrote, “Your life is a blessing and your memory a treasure. You are loved beyond words and missed beyond measure.”  An appropriate sentiment as we remember Josee.  
Matt, Pam, Korben - we are so sorry for your loss. Please know that we are all here for you ~ to talk, to scream, to cry.....
The people around you love you and wish that they could help.  
All thoughts and prayers are for you, 
the Burket family

Matt and Pam,
We are so saddened to hear of your loss.  I can't imagine  the hurt you must be going through.  We are praying for you and asking that the Lord will find a way to comfort you.  
With lots of love.
Greg and Susan Seethaler

Josee was a shining star who loved her family and her family loved Josee.  Kind, wise, a talented athlete, a beautiful young lady, and an "animal whisperer" who was great at working with pets, often laughing, always thoughtful, we are so sad that Josee is gone; we are so grateful that we had the gift of knowing her.

I am so sorry for your loss.  It's so sudden.  It’s terrible to hear about your loss and I express my sincere sympathy to you and your family.

My heart is breaking for your family. I always loved running into Josee. Such a sweet, funny, smart, adventurous girl. Sending you all the love I can muster. 

Beautiful Josef,  I will never forget your sweet smile and those beautiful green eyes. You were a perfect blend of fierceness and determination,  wiseness and  incomparable openess to care for others that you got from your beautiful and amazing mother.  All of these qualities couple from the charismatic, charming, adventurous, friend to everyone and kindness that came from your wonderful father.  Your spirit and light will stay in my heart and in the hearts of many.  Rest in peace Beautiful Josephine Madigan Stone.

Pam, Matt and Korben. I send you you every bit of strength that I can, even more love and peace.  You guys all did an amazing job loving her. I know she knew that.  Take care.  

Monica.  

“To live in the hearts you leave behind, is not to die”.  And so, Sweet Josee, you will always be a living part of us in our memories and in our hearts. 

So sorry to hear about your loss!!! My thoughts and prayers are with your family!! RIP !!

I am so sorry to hear this sad news and send love from me, Chris and the Iowa OB/Gyn Family. Sadly, I only got to spend time with Josee when she was an infant, but remember fondly your joy and excitement with your first born and helping you paint her first set of shelves. Love and hugs.

We are so so sorry to hear about Josephine. May the lord bless her soul and give you strength in this very difficult time. Our prayers and love are with you. 
If you need anything we are there for you. 

Sultan, raniya and ryaan. 


No one can take away the pain you feel, but know that many of us in Goshen grieve with you.  I pray for your daughter, whose life ended the day after her birthday.  This was meant to be such a happy time.  Now it is filled with sadness.  The long journey for your own healing is just beginning.  No day will ever be the same.  Yet love and care endure forever.  The love you feel for your daughter will last forever.  I wish you a gentle breeze, some sign that will bring you peace in the midst of your darkness and pain.  Remember to take care of yourself.

Prayers for you and your family during this time of sadness.  I'm so very sorry for your loss.  May the lord wrap his loving arms around you and help you through this devastating loss.
