It's been awhile since you've passed dad and I miss you everyday, I hope you're doing well, I love you
Josh, was a dear friend, whom I lost touch with in 2009. We served together in Guns Platoon HHC 1st Bn 3rd US INF, (The Old Guard). He was the first person to make me laugh when I came to Arlington. He is a great spirit. He was strong in the face of adversity. I will forever miss him.
Penny my heart aches for you and your families loss. I can't imagine your heartache. My prayers for understanding and healing. God bless you and yours. Debbie miller cox
Penny ,
I am so sorry for your loss. May God give the entire family strength and peace in the days ahead. Keeping you all in my prayers.
Even tho me and josh didn't make it, I'm glad I reached out to him a year ago and we found common ground again . We both apologized for our actions and forgave one another and I'm glad I could speak to him one last text before he passed knowing we were friends again that we could tell stuff to one another . I'm happy he found love again & they went together RIP no more suffering
Love you Josh. Going to miss you.
Gary and family,
We are so sorry for your loss. We are lifting you and all of the family up in prayer that God will wrap His arms around you and hold you close at this very difficult time. You have our deepest sympathy and prayers to all.
I'm very sorry for your loss.
We will always remember "Barbee" as the exuberant, funny, talented, wonderful young man he was in school. Josh's many memorable experiences and antics in choir and the musicals - and his special friendship with our son - made all our lives richer and fuller, and we loved him dearly. We rejoice that Josh is forever out of pain, but will miss him terribly, Praying for comfort and strength for all his family members and friends.
