Sending a Snowman to my Angel Friend Joshua... / Lisa Maas (Angel Friend )
Forgiveness?/ Yvonne (Vonnie) (mom)
Dear God,
I think I am starting to forgive you. I never totally blamed you. You did not do this. A criminal did.
We are always taught that if you ask you for something, if we are righteous, then it will be granted. It says so in the bible. I am not now, nor will ever be anywhere near perfect. What sense does it make to take my child to punish me? Maybe I deserve it,,but Josh sure doesnt. Neither do his innocent children, his brothers, his grandparents. So that concept isnt working for me anymore. If this was my punishment, then it would have been me, not him, that died that night.
The only thing that makes sense, is that someone with ugliness inside did this because they wanted to. A half an inch lower, my son would still be alive. That is what I dont understand. You could have interviened. You allowed Jeremy to stay alive, and for that I am forever grateful.
But I want JOSHUA here too! Too much to ask?
Love,
Yvonne

Dear God,
Please take care of my son. I am not there to do it. He always needed me. I would have walked through hell for him. Everyone he is very close to is here. PLEASE TAKE CARE OF HIM.
When he was taken, he was afraid. Please keep him from all harm, as he has paid the dues for many many people. He did not deserve this, and you owe him, and his children. Please please please take care of my two surviving sons.
Love,
Yvonne
A grieving child's fairy tale / Chloe Underwood (daughter)
You were a beautiful grandmother,
with a beautiful granddaughter,
and we lived happily ever after.
Except one thing wasn't right.
Someone was killed,
And our heart hurt.

Yvonne,
I hope you and your family the best and I am saying many prayers for you and your family. I know these are rough times. I am very sorry for your lose.
Josh was a great kid, for the short time that I did know him.
Happy Birthday, Josh! You are missed & loved by so many. I know you are with my brother, Aaron, & you guys are smiling down on all of us, especially Chloe, Little Josh, & Aaron's little girl, Lauren Taylor. I really miss your always smiling face & kind words you always spoke to me. You always knew how to make me laugh. You touched the lives of so many people in the little time you had here with us. Rest In Peace, Josh! I love you!

Yvonne, you have created such a wonderful site for your angel. As I read you talk about him, I realized how alike he and Matthew were. Matthew used to rescue birds and strays.Once he tried so hard to rescue a bird. He ran into my mom's house in a frenzy, wanting her to come quick. She said I can't go out there, my bread is almost done.He said well what's more important your bread or this precious little bird?? Poor Matthew cried when the bird died. He burried it and covered the ground with rocks, said a sweet prayer. He would even cry over a fish in the tank dying. I know our boys have found each other in Heaven, because they are kindred souls. I guess they were too golden for this world. I have added your handsome boy to the angels page I am creating on Matthew's site. I hope you like it. My heart is with you and your family always. Love and hugs, Nancy, Matthew's mom

My best friend, my angel, my son,
You know how much I love you. You always have. I have seen your "signs" and so has Jeremy and Chloe.
We know you still live. We know you are free. We know you love us. Be at peace. We have found our way. It will be back to you in the blink of an eye.
Love,
Vonnie
ps,,the tears don't mean I am not going to be ok, they mean I love you so very much Joshua. Don't worry.
There are so many things that I miss about Josh, I don't even know where to start. He was almost like a 2nd brother to me, always protective, compassionate, loyal, and there for me ANYTIME I needed him. He was an amazing father to his 2 beautiful children, Chloe & "Little Man" Josh Jr. Josh truly was an amazing person and friend inside & out. He had a great sense of humor, and oh how he loved his Skittles! Its truly hard to believe that he has been gone for this long & it still breaks my heart (and makes me smile at the same time) to re-collect on all the fun times & great memories that I was blessed to have with him on his short time with us. He is missed everyday by many & never will he be forgotten. To his family: Josh was one of the most gracious people I've ever known. I am so proud to say that I had him as a friend. My prayers & thoughts are with you always! ~Rest In Peace, Josh. We Love You Always!~
I want you to know that this horrid pain I live with is equal to the love I have for you. The depth of the loss is equal to the depth of the love. I grieve not only for you, but the future as it was supposed to be for all of us. So very much is lost. What will never be lost is the wonderful love I feel for you, and the smile you still put on my face.
