Joshua was 20 years old when his life was ripped from this earth in a matter of seconds. He was killed in a car accident on the 417 and 528. He lost control of his truck which then began to flip. Joshua wasn't wearing his selt belt and was ejected. According to the highway patrol he was killed instantly. My one and only hope in this tragic accident is that they are right because after his accident he was carelessly ran over 5 times. Three of the five vehicles stopped but two heartless souls kept on going. How can you just leave someones son, grandson, brother, cousin, fiance, father and friend laying there on the road like he was meaningless? I will never understand how God could let such tragic thing happen to such an innocent soul. Joshua never hurt anyone. He keep to himself and never bothered you unless you bothered him. Wasn't it bad enough that he took him from us? Why did he have to make it sooooooo bad that the nightmares are unbearable??????
Joshua was the kind of person who liked his space but loved being with family. He loved to sit in his room and play on his X-Box or World of War Craft on the computer.There were many of nights that Josh played his games in the living room and all I could hear was his best friend Billy singing...:) Joshua would look at me and smile his bigh smile and just laugh. I couldn't help but laugh myself. He loved his family deeply. Whenever Zach, Lexi or Alyssa would walk through the door and Josh was home they knew to run to him and give him a hug otherwise he would be yelling "were's my hug"??? He also would seek the kids out when he would get home from work to give them a hug. Joshua loved kids. He was expecting his daughter in March with his fiance, Jayme McDonald, and was counting down the days. Jayme and Joshua were what I would call a match made in heaven. I had never seen two people that were more compatable. If you look at the pictures of the two of them the love just flows from their eyes. I remember one day looking in Joshua's room when he had just gotten home from work and seeing Jayme sitting on the floor in front of him telling him about her day and the look on his face was that there wasn't anything more important then what she had to say. Oh if we all could have a man in our life that just would listen to us. Unfortunatly, Josh didn't get to see his beautiful daughter, Joshanna. Her name was going to be Anna but after the accident Jayme decided to add Josh. What a beautiful tribute to her father to carry on his name.I know he was counting down the days until he could hold her in his arms and look into her eyes. I'm sure he would have told her how beautiful she is and how proud of her he was. Whenever Joshanna is around I see Joshua as if he were still here holding her with his big smile and saying, look mom look and see how beautiful she is. Can't you just see that? I can!!! my hope is that they still hold the ones they love even though they are in heaven. She looks just like her daddy. I just know he would have been so proud of her. My heart is broken for now and until the end of my days. I hope my other children will forgive me for not being the mother that I use to be. I know their home is full of sadness now and for that I'm sorry. I just can't change that right now and I'm not sure that I ever will be able to. To be continued.....
You never said I'm leaving
You never said good-bye
You were gone before I knew it
And only God knew why
A million times we've needed you,
A million times we've cried.
If love alone could've saved you,
You never would have died.
In life we loved you dearly,
In death we love you still.
In our hearts you hold a place,
No one else will ever fill.
It broke our hearts to lose you,
But you didn't go alone.
Part of us went with you,
The day God took you home
The Events you has missed my son.

We had to finance the bench over a 3 year period.Instead of having his last name put on it we had them put JOSHY. They will not put the bench out there until it is paid off. I would rather not wait 3 years to have the bench out there so if anyone would like to donate please contact me at Kartandi@cfl.rr.com. Sorry to be so blunt!!!
BIG HUGS JOSHUA

Recipe Book
Yesterday I felt for one brief moment what it must feel like to find a hidden treasure. Thank you so much for leaving me little treasures that somehow brighten my day even for a brief moment. I don't know how for some many months I have gone to my recipe cabinet to get out the same book I use over and over again and missed seeing the recipe book that you gave me so many years ago. I stop now and even wonder how my hand even began to reach for it yesterday and pull it out of the cabinet. I feel like you must have guided me to it. I opened your book and it just took my breath away to see your hand writing. The brief feeling of pure joy was so quickly replaced with the feeling that someone had just punched me in the stomach. I couldn't breath when I saw your name written on the top of your papers. I traced your name with my finger knowing that you had written that only a short time ago. As I glanced through your papers how ironic that almost every single paper was dated February of 06. Oh Joshy how my heart aches without your big smile in my life. I can remember how you use to bring me home a sample of what you had cooked in school that day. I remember your big smile because you were so proud of what you had done. When you gave me the recipe book I know you felt like you had given me a treasure. I now know what a treasure it is. I'm so proud of you son. You accomplished so many great things in your short life. I'm so very lucky that I was there to share in all of them. You have my heart now and forever.
Thank you for the treasures.
I love you.

when you say nothing at all!!!!!!!!! this was you babe!!!!!
It's amazing how you can speak right to my heart
Without saying a word, you can light up the dark
Try as I may I could never explain
What I hear when you don't say a thing
The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me whenever I fall
You say it best.. when you say nothing at all
All day long I can hear people talking out loud
But when you hold me near, you drown out the crowd (the crowd)
Try as they may they can never define
What's been said between your heart and mine
The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me whenever I fall
You say it best.. when you say nothing at all
The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me whenever I fall
You say it best.. when you say nothing at all
(You say it best when you say nothing at all
You say it best when you say nothing at all..)
The smile on your face
The truth in your eyes
The touch of your hand
Let's me know that you need me..
Angie's party
I talked about you so much tonight that people that never met you before knew you when I was done.
I talked about you to people tonight that knew you, but had no idea what had happened to you.
I talked about you, because you were missing. It was Angie's party, and you weren't there. That was weird, and hard, and awful.
Of course, had you been there I would have asked them to watch you, make sure you didn't drink more than you should...take shots when we weren't looking...
We always tried to watch you Joshua. You broke all the rules. Enjoyed doing it, but you did, every single time.
I think that's why K misses you so much, you are so much alike. You always broke the rules, and smiled. That smile made it all ok. She carries it on, Josh, but her smile holds the pain of losing you, her smile is ...
I missed you tonight nephew. I miss you always, but tonight especially...I love you
