Don't know what to say, could not believe it when i heard it. Joshua i remember when me and Drew used to take you home so you did not have to stand up on a bus stop in these dangerous streets. You were funny,loving and just a clown. All i can do is cry.If they have not found your killer already god knows who this person is and the ones they love will feel the same pain your friends and family feel. No evil deed is left unpunished and that's a proven fact, your grandmother and uncle tried there best but the devil had his plans. Remembering you always with love.

i will love you and miss you . the time that ive spent with you was over welling , and i thank god for blessing me with you . Having you as a Boyfriend really hit me hard, because i was amazed at the fact that you did not need a father figure to teach you how to be a man, it came as you grown, and we always use too say 4409 till death do us apart, i may be young but you were for me and i knew what i wanted. untill this day i still wear the ring you bought me when we went to long beach , and i kiss it everyday . its still kinda hard knowing your gone , but your in a way better place, your with your mom. and even though this is the worst birthday gift for me , being the fact that i wanted you right next to me , your above me , and not just that day but everyday. and the the dream i had right after you past made me feel better . "we were in heaven on the bed and you were infront of me and i was just sitting there silent looking at you , then you finally looked back and said im okay lisia". i really wanted to kiss you one last time but i seen you too fast and the emotion, thought hit me . even just looking at your brother , i see you in him :* you will always remain in my heart untill we meet again.
