I drive on your memorial road everyday on my way home and decided to find out your story tonight. I’m glad I did, your service is appreciated and you will never be forgotten.

I saw your killer on a “YouTube” video today. He was crying about how Jail was treating him; how he was being mistreated. I couldn’t feel sympathy for him. He took you away from your family. He robbed you of your life. Your daughter will not have her father to walk her down the aisle when she is married. She will not have you to protect her from this tumultuous world.
I cannot feel sorry for your killer! He selfishly decided to take your life, so he could try and avoid jail.
I can not describe how I truly feel about your killer on this reflection. Only that, he is where he belongs!
My the Good Lord bless your family! Their in my thoughts and prayers!
I’m truly sorry for their suffering.
I hope that their sorrow is assuaged by their memory of you.

I never knew you. I only saw your killer on video. What happened to you was awful; I have no words for it. But your family loved you dearly. They still love you. I hope to one day meet you when it’s my turn to come home to Christ. Rest in Heavenly peace.

There is not a day that goes by without a thought of you. Dear God I love you so very much. I just wish I could talk to you, hug you, kiss your cheek. Your gone, but the thug that killed you is doing just fine in jail. Talking, hugging, loving his Mother.

Josho, it will be 10 years this July 13th, where has to time gone? Everyday I think of you. I have so many awesome memories, you had a way of making a bad day turn happy! I cherish the time I had with you from the day you were born to the EOW.

You've made our family so proud. Thank you for giving us Holly & Thea. That Thea is like watching you grow up all over again. Her expressions, her stance while she's up to bat, even her voice is YOU! She is our precious gift from god. I miss you so much. Love forever, Cheryl
