I think about you all the time even though we were strangers. That stop, your death hit me hard for some reason. I think about it often, as my brother in law now works for your agency. God bless your family.

We miss you but are so proud of you and your sacrifices to protect your community! We'll never forget your laugh, smile and sense of humor! You continue keeping the skies safe and we will see you again, one day! You would be so proud of the legacy you have left, including all the encouragement your life has inspired so many with! I know you would want us to remember you with smiles and hope, so that's what we do, no tears (for now) because that wouldn't make you happy. And you deserve to be happy, wherever you are. Godspeed, always, Josh!

Well your going to be 40 years old this year . Oh that day were born. Your were the most beautiful baby of the world. We were so happy. The only way I can not grieve is not to think. Not to think is not to remember.

Wow, 5 years now but we miss Josh like it was yesterday. I pray he knows his family is strong and continues on in a way that would make him proud! Thea, his newborn baby when he was murdered, is beautiful and a mini-me of Josh, with a mom who is doing a superb job keeping his memory alive for Thea! Josh would be bothered if he knew anyone was grieving for him, he'd want everyone to live in a way which appreciates each day that we have on this earth. He loved his family, community and his friends dearly. Let's all make the day count & do something good!

Today we received a wonderful gift from your wife and daughter. It is a snowflake Christmas ornament that your little girl and her kindergarten class made with my father's name on it. It was beautifully decorated by some little fingers with paint and glitter. It is so precious. When thinking on past Christmases and the ones we will never get to share with my father again, I realized you were never able to share one with your daughter. I pray that you and my father are in haven and we always have our dads watching over us. Even though you have been gone for almost four years, my heart hurts for your family as much as it hurts for mine.

Im sure you're up there watching everything here... making quirky remarks... but if you're around right now and can stop in to say hello as you know what im facing after having a great friend like you being a police officer and then me wrongfully being shot by one, I plan on letting this cop know how my uncle, cousin, and you all played a part in my fellowship with officers. So if you can let me know your around... and if your to busy being cool angel guy and watching Holly and Thea im sure you're gleaming as you chose the perfect woman to have a beautiful girl with... I miss you Meat Tray!

Hi My Son Josh
Well , I am finally crawling out of the Black evil pit of grief I fell into when you died. Recovery sure would have been easier if I had family to support me. The trail was PURE HELL. It is what it is. I have a Memorial stone here in TN for you. You were my little Sunshine growing up. Your little girl is probably the same for Holly. I still can't scrapbook you. If I think I hurt. I don't think. BUT I am filled with content. love love love you more than life. Mom
