Joshua,
I love you with all of my heart and soul. Not a minute goes by that you arent in my mind.
Today is 2 years and nine months since you were taken. It feels like yesterday that it happened, and a 1,000 years since I saw your face.
Thank you for being Jeremy's guardian angel today.
REMEMBERING JOSH / Christine Luke's Mom (Grieving Parent ) Josh, Your website is so very beautiful. I love all the photos of you and your wonderful family. Please give Luke a hug for me. We will see you boys soon. Love, Christine, Luke's Mom 1079 - 2001
Josh/ Justin Lehman (friend)
I can honestly say that I haven't met too many people in my life that could make people laugh the way Josh did. He just had a way of making everything so funny. Whether we were riding in a cramped car, sitting in a tiny, ant-infested camper, working under the hot, blistering sun for crap wages, sleeping head-to-toe with four other guys on an old, dingy futon, or even hanging out at a certain seedy country store with no money in our pockets and nothing to do but stare at colorful characters playing electronic poker, Josh always kept us laughing.
Even when he went to the hospital with me the day I found out I almost could have lost my arm, Josh somehow managed to make me laugh. In fact, the memories from that day are some of the funniest ones I have from my experiences with Josh. I'll never forget the look on his face when that old man started acting like hew as having a heart attack in the waiting room at St. Mary's. Some grumpy old guy was getting impatient and his wife was telling him to calm down. Finally, he just threw his head back and started shouting like somebody was yanking his legs off. Josh did a great impersonation of it. Man, we laughed about that one for years. Yeah, Josh and I always seemed to come across comical situations when we were together.
But Josh wasn't always funny. There were times when he could be pretty serious too. Not only that, but Josh was also a great person to talk to when you had important things to discuss. I remember quite a few occasions when Josh and I sat talking about things for hours at a time when we were alone on the days when neither one of us could find work. Those were some pretty tranquil moments.
Josh certainly had a way of getting to know people. He had a special talent that allowed him to relate to just about anyone. That's why he was so close to so many people and that's also why I know he had so many close friends. I'd say everybody that knew Josh had a special, unique relationship with him.
But man, was he secretive. I've still got his copy of the Outsiders that he recorded way back when he was a kid. Boy, I know he'd kill me if I told the world what music video he recorded on that tape after the movie. All I can say is that his brain must have been fryin' that cruel summer.
I often find myself thinking of Josh as I go about my way. There are many things I do that will forever remind me of him. So I'll keep his memorie close to my heart, just as I'm sure everyone else will and by doing this, his memory will live on forever in the minds of all the people he touched.
I still cant believe you are gone. It seems like yester day we were makeing fun of one another ,wresteling ,getting slammed by Vonnie well that was just me lol and we cant forget you trying to find a test dummie for one of your new punches you learned. You will always be greatly missed I not only lost a best friend I lost a brother because thats the way you made all of your close friends feel.I cant wait for the day we meet again you will never be forgotten Josh I still love you and you will always be one of my best friends.
Here I go again, JOSH / Vonnie (MOM/soulfriend)Read >>
Here I go again, JOSH / Vonnie (MOM/soulfriend)
Yes, here I go again. I just cannot believe you are dead. DEAD? omg in heaven,,,,,,,,,it just cannot be.
You are so alive,,it cannot be that you are dead. It astounds me everytime the thought hits my brain. This just cannot be, although I know it is, I know you arent coming back.
Josh, you are the oldest,,but you know, and everyone knew you were my baby. We just always knew each other so well, what the other was thinking, laughed at the same things, and relied on each other no matter what. I rescued you, you rescued me. You were my child,,my first born, but you also grew to be my absolute best friend as an adult. I dont have a lot of people that I call friends, you were my soulfriend.
I could look in your eyes, and know exactly what you were thinking, and feeling, without asking,,and likewise. Some people think that romantic love must be the love of ones life,,it just isnt true. The love of your life can be a your child. You were everything to me. EVEN when you ticked me off! :) (which wasnt very often,,but was ugly when it happened)
You deserved only the best on this planet, never had the chance to get it.
You did learn just how it felt to be spiritually connected with one of your children,,and those were the happiest times of my life, watching you with Chloe. You love Lil Josh, I know,,no doubt about it. But that rare spiritual connection, that we had,,went right straight from me, to you, to Chloe.
She had her first day of FIRST GRADE today Joshie! I just cannot believe it!
I know you can see her, and see what a beautiful soul she is, inside and out, just like you. She still misses you, she always will. She knows you come and visit. Something will "happen", and she will say "GG, that was my daddy doing that".
Why have you taken my baby? WHY did you let that pos kill him? Let me know,,and I will be ok,,if you answer this question. I know YOU didnt do this,,I KNOW who did,,PLEASE GOD, PUNISH HIM. Joshua did NOT deserve this! MAKE THIS RIGHT!

Josh, I have been looking at your beautiful family, wife- Chloe, mom and brother. You are truly missed...look out for all of them--show them your love and look for my son, Brandon Sgaggero! You two would be hilarious together. He loved cats and dogs!!!
Thank you for always being there. You were so mature at such a young age. You loved me so much,,and you know how much I love you, even still. I would have, and still would, do ANYTHING for you. You did NOT deserve the pain and suffering you endured before passing over. You should have never had to face that alone. I wish I could have held you, and made your transition easier. I know you know how much I miss you,,I dont have to tell you. I have cried so many tears, that I am too weary to wipe them away.
I dont want you to worry, you always worry. I am doing just what you expect of me. Chloe is here, and nurtured. Lil Josh is being taken care of.
I love you so much Joshua, I know you know that. You always did. You were my heart and soul, and you knew it. It was an unspoken truth. SO many times, it felt as if it was you and I alone against the world. They say history repeats itself,,now it is me and Chloe.
Please know that you can come visit me anytime you feel the need.
You dont have to take care of me anymore,,I have found my way.
My heart is with you always- / Jessica Cruz (GP)
I hate to see another mother go through what I have been going through. It is so hard to lose a child. All the questions without anwsers. The what ifs become endless. Please know my heart is with you and you are in my prayers. Close
Say my son's name to me. Don't be afraid. He is gone from the physical world,,but he isn't now, nor will he EVER be, a part of my past.
Don't be afraid you are going to upset me. I am upset already, and always will be, even if it isn't showing for the moment. Along with the tears, comes great joy and love, just because of him. I had him for 24 years, he was and IS the source of great joy.
I WANT to talk about him. The love I have for him, and, the love he has for me has kept me alive.
Don't expect me to "get over it". Because I will grieve forever, it doesn't mean I am "dwelling on it".
Because I chose to survive doesn't mean I don't love him. I am , and will continue to honor him by being as happy as I possibly can, and NOT let him down by laying down and dying.
I just wanted to you to know that I am thinking of you and your family. Always know that our loved one is always with us. A smile from a stranger, the sun shining down on our faces or the rain pouring down. They will forever be with us.=) Forever in our hearts 7 soul.
