I will never forget the first time we met. You came out of the barn and said Hi, I am Josh. I said Well Hi Josh, I am Allison. You said: Do you live there? and I replied: Nah, I am just the pool girl. ;) You looked at me like I was crazy. I said Yeah, I live here. lol. We were instant friends. You've been gone 3 weeks, and it feels like forever to me. I will always cherish my time with you on this earth. Our conversations, listen to your music, watching you work on the farm, and playing with Roscoe, you waving like a mad man as you drive by...and your smile. You were my buddy, and you will be forever missed. I know I will see you in heaven when my time comes. Until we meet again.....in heaven know that we all will be missing you.

We are sorry for your great loss and know that Jesus is by your side to comfort, strengthen, guide you in the days ahead. We last talked with Joshua when he came up to greet us at the Christmas program at Living Springs Christian Academy. He looked young and energetic and seemed like he hadn't changed at all. Many of your friends and family are praying for you but remember Jesus "at all times lives to make intercession for us." Hebrews 7:25

Josh,
One of the things that comes to my mind when I think of you is your beautiful smile and your infectious laugh. Those are the things I will miss the most. I have heard so many people say how you impacted their lives. I know you, you’d be surprised, but I’m not because your heart was so tender and so big!! You’d help anyone, Josh. I love you, and I miss you, and I’m so grateful for our time we had this past summer. I will always keep those messages you sent me.
We will keep your memory alive! Love you always!
