My heart is heavy with the news of my Cousin, Josh’s passing. Although we have not spoken or communicated for some time I still have fond memories of Josh. His genuine and infectious smile will always be remembered; Such a kind soul. I will always have the utmost respect for Josh in his service to our country.
It tears a hole through me whenever somebody I love dies, no matter the circumstances. I don't want it to be something that just passes. The tears that roll from my face and onto my chest are worn proudly, I refuse to hide them. My scars are a testament to the love and the relationship that I had for and with that person and if the scar is deep, so was the love. So be it.
To Martha, my Uncle, Josh’s mother Lydia and Josh’s brothers Peter, Benjamin, Nicholas & Sebastian; my prayers are that you can find some comfort and peace in these dark days. I will raise a toast to Josh and wish him good journey and safe passage in this new chapter of his life.
God Bless.

Like so many, I was so saddened to hear of your passing. I can not believe today is the day you will be laid to rest. We met in nursing school. It was a very intense and stressful time for us all but, we were there for each other. I will always remember your smile and how happy and accomplished you felt when we graduated. I am sure you touched the lives of your patients in a very special and caring way. I think of your mother and how you had nothing but good things to say about her. May she continue to be strong through this difficult time. My deepest sympathies to your wife, family and friends. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Josh,
The table of my mind is less festive, less thoughtful, and has another empty chair. Your kindness, your laughter, your sneakered feet darting into adolescence ahead of my brother and me -- the last of our band of brothers -- showed me there was a path there, somewhere. We saw each other about once a year, then less, then not for years, but the kindness, the closeness, the sense that we belonged to each other and to our families' customs -- that we belonged in a yard with a ball or around a table with too much dessert, some jokes, and maybe even some wine -- that never left. It remains tucked safely beside my love and youthful admiration.
You and your family are loved by me and my family. Wishing you the peace you so deserve,
Seth Peterson

Hello my friend, I know I expressed this before but now it's my greatest memory. Back on 5 East you and I quit smoking. You said it was your first time trying from numerous of years. I remove the small set back but you kept going and that was my longest quit and it's because of you! You were my venting buddy. I appreciate tht support other than being a fine nurse.
Sleep peacefully my old friend.
My prayers go out to all who's hurting!

To Josh's family and friends,
I am so very sorry for your loss. I went to nursing school with Josh and he was such a wonderful person. We were a close knit group of students (mostly women) and I remember him always making us laugh, even through the toughest days of nursing school. I'm sure he made an extraordinary nurse after graduation. And I have no doubt that he was an extraordinary husband, son, and brother. My deepest condolences,
Carrie Fijal
