Dear Mamaw
Sometimes I still lie in bed crying wondering why he had to go, but i figure Gods must have a purpose for him up there. I know how you feel, sometimes I just wish i could talk to him one more time. I wish i would've spent more time with him when he and mom got a divorce. Still, I know he loved Bishop and I very very much. he loved You and PawPaw awfully much also. I just wish he was still here to see me and Bishop grow up. If you or Paw Paw ever need anything, know that i'm here for you whenever you need me.
Love,
Dakota

Alvin,
So sorry to hear about your son. Mom has always said that it's the worse thing for a person to go thru. I can not imagine what you are going thru. Losing Sue was extremely a hurting time, but I can't imagine losing a child. Take care.

I know there are no words I can say to ease the pain. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry for your loss. He was such a good guy and a good friend. He was one of my best friends through high school and I always tried to come see him when I came home. He will be missed. I'm sorry I couldn't be there, but my heart goes out to the entire family. I'll be praying for you all.

Shiela you know that I have been where you are and time does help but you will think about him every day and that gets easier also. Please take care of yourself and grieve in your own time and place. Julie & I both have been thinking of you and sharing your loss.

Shelia & Alvin I was shocked when Rick told me of Josh's passing. I always thought of him as a nephew also. He was such a sweet boy.

Josh was a wonderful young man. He was a hard worker and loved his family. He will be greatly missed. We used to work with Josh, knew him when he got married and when his first son was born. Our prayers and thoughts are with all the family.

Sheila & Alvin here's a poem I thought you might enjoy.
Please don't keep feeling guilty,
It was just my time to go.
I see you are still feeling sad,
And the tears just won't stop.
We all come to earth for our lifetime,
And for some it's not so many years
I don't want you to keep crying
You are shedding way too many tears.
I haven't left you
though it may seem so.
I have just gone to my heavenly home,
But, I am closer to you now than you will ever know.
Just believe that when you say my name,
I'll be standing right next to you.
I know you want to see me
But there's nothing more I can do.
I promise to still send you messages. And I hope you understand,
That when your time comes to "Cross Over,"
I will be waiting to take your hand.

I am so sorry. I know what you are going through as I lost my only son Jeffrey Fulkerson. There are no words that can even begin to express the hurt and sadness that I know you are feeling. If ever you want to talk I would be happy to listen. I have a friend that had lost her only child at the young age of 18 and when I lost Jeffrey at age 28 she would talk to me and it seemed to help. You can call me anytime 256-437-1327. Josh will be missed by all of us. I last got to visit briefly with Josh in January. He was a dear, sweet young man. Just know that he is in a much better place now with no pain or suffering. He will always be near you no matter where you go. Take care and God Bless you. Cindy Harrison (Dakota & Bishops Aunt from Alabama)
