I Really Dont Know What Else To Say.

I Wish I Could Make The Pain All Go Away, I Wish I Couyld Go Back And Time And Stopped This.

I Wish I Knew What To Say....

All I Know Is That Hes Safe Now, From Evryone And Everything. Josh Will Never Hurt Again And Thats What Should Keep Us All Going, Just Knowing That Hes Beyond Happy Now, And Always Will Be.

 

Luv Always,

Here's a poem I found about a year ago. I wish I could give credit to whomever wrote this, but I don't know the author's name.

Weep not for me though I am gone
Into that gentle night.
Grieve if you will, but not for long
Upon my soul's sweet flight,
there is no need for tears.
For with your love I was so blessed
for all those many years.
There is no pain, I suffer not,
The fear now all is gone.
Put now these things out of your
thoughts,
In your memory I live on.
Remember not my fight for breath,
remember not the strife.
Please do not dwell upon my death,
But celebrate my life.

To Josh's family,

If I had the ability to take away your pain,even as a total stranger, I assure you that I would.  I've suffered the loss of our son for 21 months now and unfortunately, I now see that the first year was an absolute blur of emotions, disbelief, anger, fear and lonliness.  It saddens me to read other sites and to know without hesitation, that I truly understand how you feel.  Living it means understanding the things that so many others don't comprehend...words like: "At least you had him for 18 years", or "It was just his time to go", or "You still have your daughters."  I see now that all of those phrases make sense, however, at the time, I didn't want to hear anything from anyone.  I just wanted to be left alone.  Please know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.  This adjustment is still very, very new for you and I know that Josh is up there in Heaven with Andrew wishing that none of us left here on earth, would be sad or cry or question why.  Feel free to email me anytime @ debi.lynne@hotmail.com

Also, please visit Andrew; it means so much to me.

   We Thought of You  (Author Unknown)
We thought of you with love today,
But that is nothing new.
We thought about yesterday,
And days before that too.
We think of you in silence,
We often speak your name;
All we have now are memories,
And your picture in a frame.
Your memory is our keepsake,
With which we will never part;
GOD has you in his keep,
We have you in our heart.
It broke our heart to lose you.
But you didn't go alone,
For a part of us went with you...
The day GOD took you home.

There's no right thing to say to a parent who lost a child. Every time i see you my heart breaks for you and your family. I only had 3 months 18 days with my daughter, I could never imagine having had 17 years before she left. The only thing I can tell you is that one day you will be able to breathe again. It never gets easier, Josh will never leave your thoughts, your heart will always break with his name, but one day it won't hurt as bad.  I wish you and your family the very best.

To Richard and Terry,

This by far has not been easy for anyone who knew Josh. He affected so many in so many ways. My mother met him maybe three times, and she was so saddened to hear he passed. Just to let you know, Josh was so respectful to my parents, and my grandmother, he gave them a hug when we got their house, and hugged them when we left. My parents thought the world of him.  Just remember that you are surrounded by people who loved Josh very much.

to leave a condolance just put the  pointer on leave a condolance and wait for the box to 

pop up and write it in.    thanks Josh's mom
