Josh, When it comes to memories I don't even know where to start. I guess all the weekends hanging out by the pool. Never failed you could not wait to jump in and that's just what you did. Someone always had to come to your rescue. Maybe the time you got into my make up bag half ended up on you - I guess what you did not like you threw in the toilet! How you never met a stranger. How you always were a happy kid. How you loved everyone and had to touch them. How you danced to Britney. And most of all on facebook HEY WHAT UP... You sure will be missed. Love always.
