Joshua James Bernard

Thank you so much for your kind words and heartfelt tribute that you wrote to us.  Your son reminds me so much of my own son (Alexis'Dad).  He has the same humor as your son had.  I read some of your tributes and they were so beautiful about Josh.  His cousins' and friends.  I feel good just knowing that he is in Heaven with my little Lexi.  God bless you all and please write often as I will try and write to you.  We have had another death in our family. A step-son Jamie, 31 years old to a drug overdose.  It was on July 19 and he left a 16 year old son Patrick.  So very sad and we are heartbroken.  I have found that family become strangers and that strangers become family.  Josh will always be in our hearts.  Love to you all,  Maw Maw Bonnie

Mart, thank you so much for your sweet note on Dee's web site.  I know your pain is as intense as mine and my wife's  Nothing can prepare us for such devastation, yet we have our Savior's promise that this is not the end for those who trust him.  Josh is a very handsome young man.  And such a friendly face! Love does not die or lessen for a loved one that has been called home, especially our children.  Sometimes it is the overwhelming love for them that makes our eyes wet, not our grief.  May Jesus bring you a blessing of peace in your heart over time.  Your Josh will not be forgotten.

 

Love,

 

Tom Kidwell

Aunt Mary,

 

I think of you all so often.  I am so sorry I do not call more... life moves too fast.  It is so hard for me when I think of you all to think of how much hurt is still in your hearts.  You have always been one of the most warm, sincere, loving people I have or will ever know.  Tam and David I miss you so much! XXXOOO

thanks 4 the beautiful note u left on chris site. josh seems as if he is a wonderful and much loved young man. there are no words to take way your hurt and pain but please know that you are not alone in this journey, there are many of us traveling this same lonesome and rocky road but the road will get smoother with time because our loved ones are there waiting for us when we reach the end. my chris is beside me always just as I know josh is beside you always. I hope the 2 boys have met and became great friends.your Josh probably knows alot to teach my chris and I am sure that my chris is getting them into all kinds of trouble. lol that is how I go on each day, knowing my angel can at last run and play and get into trouble. I wonder if God has a time out cloud?

Mar,

You are amazing!!!  Josh is so proud of you for all you do and all you are and for making this awesome website in his memory.  I love you so much and I am truly sorry for the pain you feel.  When I look into your eyes, I wish I could say or do something to make you feel better.  You smile so big when you speak of Josh.   You loved one another so much and you will always have the memories and he lives forever in your heart, and mine as well. You and Josh are always in my thoughts and paryers.  When I'm scared at times, I ask Josh and my grandma to be with me and watch over me and my family.  He always hears when I whisper to him.  I love you Mar.  Stay strong.

Love,

Sneaky

Mamie,

   I miss him so much and i know you do to, but everyday I see things and hear songs on the radio that remind me of him and it makes me smile. So I know he is always around us. He especially knows when you are the saddest because when you are he always lets me know to call you and cheer you up. I Love you Mamie and Josh loves you to ( he tells me so all the time). So when your extra sad just wait for the phone to ring because me and Candy and josh will be calling. I love you Mamie.

Hey Mamie,  I love this !! What a wonderful way to memorialize Josh!! We miss him so much!! But he is always giving us signs that he is still here , isn't he?!  Everytime Nig and I see those two doves land under our tree in the front yard I always think it's Josh and Thad.   Thank you for doing this. It gives us all a chance to tell the world how much we love and miss Josh!!

We love you,

Nig and Danis

Mamie,

I wish every day that there would be something I could say or do for you that would take away all the pain and heartache that you have, but I know that there is nothing in this world that could ever be said or done to make it any better. Sometimes when I talk to you I can tell in your voice how very sad you are and it breaks my heart. I pray every day for you, Uncle Dale, and all the family to be happy and safe. I hope Wyatt loves me as much as Josh loves you. If I turn out to be half the mom that you are, that would be my greatest accomplishment.  You are always in my prayers.

I love you!!!!

 

Love,

Kim

 

Mary,

I am so sorry for your loss and the pain you have enudured the last 4 years.  I know that nothing will ever take that pain and emptiness away.  You are an inspiration to so many.  You truly live to keep Josh's memory alive.  He loved you so much.  I hope to share that same closeness with my boys that you and Josh share.  You are the strongest person I know!  You and Josh are forever in my prayers!  I love you both!!

Love,

Angela
