Another Christmas without my beautiful son. I love you and know that you are having the greatest time of all. You are with me every single second. I haven’t had a dream visit lately but it would be great if you would come visit me again. Your uncle says hello and your cousins miss you. I’m one day closer to you. I’m so proud that you chose me to be your mom, that is the best gift I ever received. I’m so proud of you and all the good that you’ve been doing. You’ve been all over the country and seen so many people and helping to make a difference in the world. I know you’re happy that Red has come home to you and Dixie, it was so hard to have him go but he’s happy and healthy now. I love you to infinity. See you on the other side.

Hello son, Just an update on things here on earth. Tyler is doing well and graduated this year. Cody is engaged to Nicole now and has turned out to be a man you would be proud of. Tyler still struggles with you being gone. We all do. He looks just like you to me, just more hair. I love you and not a day goes by that I don't think of you. Grandma misses you so much, pawpaw as well. I will see you again one day I hope, all other family is well except Peewee and Kay. Getting old sucks. Look after your brother here, he needs a sign that everything will be ok. Love ya!!!!! Dad

Joshua I do not know what to do with myself since you left me all alone. I miss your text and phone calls just to say hey what are you doing. I miss your beautiful face and smile. I don’t know why you left me so soon. I think of you every waking minute and pray that I see you in my dreams. You left a huge hole in my heart that will never be filled. I hope you are with Johnnie catching up on lost times. I pray that you give me a sign that you are ok and happy. Can’t wait to see you again. Love Always Mom

I never personaly got to meet Josh, but I remember seeing him at school one day when I was picking my daughter up, I asked her was his last name Holland and she said yes. AMAZING, he looked so much like Terry and Mark. Yes and the the times that I did see him, he always had the biggest smile.
God bless you all, Love always Jennifer Byrd-McClees

Tina, I'm so very sorry for your loss. I only met Josh one time when I was at your house with one of the many, many animals you rescued, but I can't remember a single time that I talked to you that you didn't mention him. I know he was your life, your pride and joy. May God bless you in this terrible, trying time and grant you the peace that passeth all understanding. Josh is with God now and is watching down over you each and every second.

From a cute, friendly, little boy to an intelligent, handsome, young man I had the privilege to watch you grow. Your smile was always warm and you would always take the time to stop and speak whenever I saw you! I know heaven is a little brighter today with you there. I believe you were welcomed by Johnny and are catching up on lost time. Prayers for comfort and strength for all of the family during this difficult time. Matthew 5:4

Sure hope you are fishing right now in the most amazing waters ever seen, and pretty sure if you are your smile is as beautiful as the heavens.
Josh, glad I had the privilege of meeting you years ago and sure did enjoy your visits to the house (on Roberts Chapel) fishing with my boys. Will miss running into you and seeing that bigger than life smile.
Prayers to your family and thanking them for sharing such a sweet young man with us...YOU

I was shocked and sad to hear of Josh's passing. As a little boy he was always smiling and happy. I know he will be sincerely missed by his friends and family. I am thankful I took the opportunity to encourage him last year after it seemed he was going through a hard time in his life. I am happy that I took that time to do so and I hope it was of help to him. I pray that his friends and family will find peace and comfort during this difficult time.

Josh, I have never had the pleasure to meet you, but I got to know you and to love you thru your wonderful mom, Tina. She told me so many great things about you, I know you are a wonderful young man that just made your mom's life every day with your smile and wit! You left this place too soon, but with so much accomplished in so little time, especially in the last few months. When you went to visit your mom a couple of weekends ago, she texted me you were there and I could just feel her joy and pride! She said you looked so good and so happy!!! I know you made her day that Saturday. She will cherish that last visit with you for ever! love you Josh! Robi and Pete

Tina, I wish I had words to take your pain away. As long as the girls and I have known you and Josh we became like family. We have been through so much together and I hope you know we will always be here for you. Josh worked so hard to get where he was and he couldn't have done it with out you. He knows how proud you are of him and how much you love him just as much as we all know how much he loved you. I promise you we are here for you as long as you need us. Love you

Joshua moma misses you. Its so hard for me to think of you not ever walking thru the door, calling me or texting me just to see what im doing. I cannot imagine the rest of my life without you in it. This feels like a bad dream that I cannot wake from. I remember your sweet smile and gentle soul, I remember us going to the mountains with your friends and all the fun y'all had riding go carts and going to the caves. You were the best baby I could of had, never cried always happy. We were two of a kind always together. Always love for one another you were always respectful of others and put them before yourself. You taught me so much. I never thought that I could love someone as much and completely as I loved you. You were my heart and soul and always will be. You are not gone but just in the other room or around the corner. I will see you in my dreams and in time we will be together on the other side. I will speak your name freely without sorrow. Death is nothing at all it does not count . You have only slipped into the next room. I will see you again. Never forget my child. I love you.

Josh !
When I was told sunday that you had passed away my heart literally dropped to my stomach. I told you that if I ever lost you I wouldn’t know what to do. I’ve done lost you and I hate it. I just wanna wake up and all this be a dream. If I were to know that Thursday would’ve been my last time talking to you I definitely would have told I loved you. You’ll forever hold a BIG spot in my heart, which you already know you do. I’m gonna miss terribly josh. Rest in complete peace honey. I love you❤️
