Wow words can't express how hard it has been to lose a friend that was a childhood friend and someone that you grew up with...So many things to say about Josh he was his own person,difficult,stubborn,hard headed but he cared and forgave everyone. I can remember when him and my brother and Carlos Mejia were best friends...The three amigos...Nothing kept them apart...The Life of growing up n 68th Street...we all played kick ball baseball got into trouble...Then we all moved up to high school still nothing kept us all apart always went to the wresling matches and the baseball games...Nothing like watching Josh play sports...As we all grew into adulthood our lives begin to take a diffent turn and we all begin to have relationships and children of our own and well we never really lost touch but we had our own lives...I will never forget the day I got the phone call that Josh was in the hospital I was driving down 10 Highway in Excelsior Springs, Mo heading home and I went straight to the hospital to see him...it was the worst feeling ever and all the momories that we all had as kids flased thur my mind...he was a great father and a great freind and a great son and brother and husband and he is greatly missed...For those of that knew him were very lucky to know him and there will not be a day that doesn't go by that I won't think of him and won't remember the memories of him and all of us on 68th street growing up and having laughs and smiles and a lot of wonderful times... I love you Joshua and you are greatly missed Take care of all of us and we will see you again someday... DeLacy DeBoard-Barker

This isn't a memory - but a poem - sent by a friend - The Dash -- I read of a man who stood to speak, at the funeral of a friend. He referred to the dates on his tombstone from beginning ….to the end. He noted that first came his date of birth and spoke the following with tears. But he said what mattered most of all, was the dash in between those years. For the dash represents, all the time he spent alive her on this earth. And how only those who loved him know what that little line is worth. For it matters not, how much we own; the cars, the house, the cash, what matters most is how we live and love and how we spend our dash… So think about this long and hard. Are there things you’d like to change? For you never know how much time is left, that can still be rearranged. If we could just slow down enough, to consider what is true and real. And always try to understand, the way other people feel. And be less quick to anger, and show appreciation more, and love the people in our lives like we’ve never loved before. If we treat each other with respect, and more often wear a smile… Remembering that this special dash might only last a little while. So, when your eulogy is being read, with your life’s actions to rehash would you be proud of the things they say and how your spent your dash? by Linda Ellis
