Condolence From: Lauren Cheney
Condolence: I am deeply saddened by the loss of Josh and he will be truly missed. I have uploaded a few of my favorite pictures of us that make me smile.

Words cannot express the pain I feel for you, Sandi. I saw this poem and thought of you:

I can’t comprehend just how sad you must feel
For the loss of someone you love.
This sorrowful time must still feel unreal
And you’re looking for strength from above.
I hope, from my heart, that your pain will decrease,
That your spirit will gain strength again,
And I pray that your faith will create inner peace
And that God will send blessings–Amen.
Till then, if you need me to lighten your load,
I’m waiting to come to your aid.
Just call on me, and I’ll walk down that road,
Until the dark times start to fade.

~Lauren

Condolence: Josh was always a friendly, helpful, respectful and kind neighbor to my friend Andy, and me when I would visit. He was so young and he will be terribly missed and remembered by all who knew and loved him. But I believe he is now at peace and truly happy. My heart and prayers are with his mom and all of his dear family and friends.

Condolence: Being miles and miles away from each other most of our lives, most our memories are a little vague. But what I do remember is Josh had a big heart. He was a happy energetic little guy. Our holidays spent together was joyful and always fun. When he was a bit older, I remember Josh stayed in Hilton Head island, sc with our granny for a while. I was younger of course. I remember he brought a gf with him, and I remember thinking how beautiful she was. I remember him driving me on my four wheeler. AlThough very litttle memories we shared, he was always a great person to be around. He may have had some demons, nobody is perfect. The Lord made Joshua perfect for his need for him here on Earth, and he took him so he can help sculpt our heavens. You will definitely be missed cousin! Please keep watching over your mom and help her through the tough roads ahead. Fly high .. it's not goodbye, just see ya later!

Condolence: Finally, there was the time when Josh and his Grandma Mrytle were driving to Denver from South Carolina in Josh's car and they stopped in to seethe kids and me. My teenage babysitters were absolutely infatuated with him. They all convinced Grandma Mrytle to let him follow them to there house South of Ellsworth for some reason. Well they ended up on the sand roads kind of hotrodding and Josh spun out & went off the road with car windows down and car was full of sand. The girls had him follow them to carwash to clean up the car so we would not know what happened. When they got back nobody said a word, but Grandma Mrytle figured it out right away. When,I asked what happened,they told the story. They looked so funny when they got busted. They thought they covered their tracks pretty well. I told Josh later how dangerous that was on sandy country roads, especially when you are not used to driving them and don't know the area. He apologized for scaring us.

Condolence: The first time Josh came to stay with us in Ellsworth, I knew it was very strange for him and he seemed a little nervous and scared. Went he went to bed I told him that I understood that it was confusing for him, a little difficult to be so far from Colorado and people he knew. I told him he could always talk to me about anything and that if he needed me I would be there. I told him that I wasn't trying to take his Mom's place, but to remember I love him and that I would be there for him anytime.

Condolence: THE NIGHT THE LIGHTS WENT OUT IN ELLSWORTH.
One of my memiries is when Josh was visiting us one summer over the 4th of July. His dad & the kids were all outside shooting fireworks like there would not be another Independence Day. It was nearing time to stop shooting them. I had gotten after his Dad, Forrest, and the boys (Josh & Trevor) for holding the Roman candles while they shot them. Suddenly the wind grabbed one of the balls of flame and carried it straight into,the transformer. The power went off, streets lights & all. I hustled everyone to grab,their things & get in the house, before the police came and found out what they did. Well...they never found out who did it, but...I learned through the local newspaper that they not only blew out the power in OUR neighborhood, but the WNTIRE city lost electricity. I told,everyone not to breathe a word. I guess its safe to tell people 20 years later.

Condolence: To my best friend,
You were always with me. It hurts that you are not here. Your genuine love for everyone is how I will I remember you, and how I will impact the lives of those around me. My best memory of us is finding out about Giana. You reassured me that everything was how it was meant to be and then we hit up all the major islands of Hawaii. You will be in my heart forever friend.

Condolence: If someone would have told me 14 years ago i would be writing this message i wouldnt believe them for a second because i really feel like josh had alot of untapped potential that would have propelled him to big things , the loss of him truly makes me miss a simple time where we would run around taco bell with a video camera looking for something to do , josh def had the ability to brighten up a room wirh his personality or comedy and was always helping me discover new music , sad to see him go so soon , god speed my friend , you will be missed .
