Life w/out You  / Sada Williams (good friend )
Things just haven't been quite the same since you left us.You never know what kind of effect you have on a person until you're gone but you shold know the effect you had on me.Josh I miss you so much and I just wish I was with you now to just look back on all the fun we had together.Just the other day I rode your bus and I sat in the seat that you used to sit in & I said to myself "It just don't seem right without my boy Josh" I'm going to keep holding on to the memories that I have of you & praying that someday we meet again.A lot has changed, some for the good and some for the bad but no matter what you'll ALWAYS BE MY BOY aand I'll ALWAYS remember you.

Man we miss you.  / Unknown Unknown (classmate)
Man Josh you just don't know how crazy it's been without you here. Everybody misses you so much. I remember that day just like it was yesterday when we found out that you were gone. I've never seen so many black and white people join together and start crying over the death of one person. It was at the high school and middle school. You effected everyone with your great personality and smile. Everyone loved you and the one's that didn't love you didn't know you. Stuff is really hitting the class of '09 bad. Man first in 7th grade Kristen died and then you. It's crazy. Well I can't wait until we meet again up in heaven and then I can really tell you about what's been going on. Well I gotta go and continue this long walk of life so until next time. R.I.P.(Rest In Peace) Close

just getting to know you  / LATASHA SNOW (Aunt)
Hello Joshua, I'm sorry it took so long  for me to talk to you butI just learned of this website. Knowing that the words I say now you can't here from me directly,But Iknow the Man of whom hands you rest in so I know that you will get this message.I love you and I always will.Even though i've known you since birth,I haven't been in your life as a Aunt should but I thank God for the wonderful times we did share together.I am so glad that you don't have to face the evil things that are yet to come.And even though i miss you so much I pray that very soon I'll be able to join you in that GREAT!! place. Continue to pray for me and talk to me from time to time. Love always your Aunt Tasha and Family. Close

LIFE ITSELF  / Mersadez (Knikki) McDonald (friend)

Dear Josh,
        It has been 13 months and 6 days since you passed away and let us all with crazy and funny memories. Some people say that time heals wounds but to be honest I don't think all the time in the world can heal this wound of mine. Even though it has been a long time since I last seen or talked to you this still doesn't seem real. To me it seems like you went away on a vacation and that you will send for me later to one day join you. The last time that I saw you was that Friday night at the game, you was leaning on the fence talking to somebody. Never in a million years did I think that I would receive a phone call saying that you had just died in a car accident. And I know that you ain't supposed to quesion God but all I could do was ask the him "WHY?" Why did you have to take Josha Latron Ford Smith on this day? Every time I turn on the T.V. and I see T.I. and I think of you. Sometimes I cry. I cry tears of remorse because I am sad that you are gone, but I think about the fact that you are in a better place and that kind of settles me a little but not a whole lot though. That just goes to show that life itself isnt promised to anybody. I just wanted you to know that not a day goes by when I don't think of you. So until we meet again, I Love You My Friend. Class of 2008 will never be the same without you, but we still gone hold it down as if you were here!!!!

MY CHILD  / SELMA FLYNN BOBBO.MERORY-OF.COM (FRIEND)
"MY child On the day God took you I thought that I would die I wondered where the time went? I asked alot of whys?? With people all around me I felt alone inside From all their words of comfort, I couldn't seem to hide, I thought I might be dreaming That I'd wake and find you here, I thought "This can't be happening." As I wiped another tear. On the day that you were laid to rest My heart broke yet again, I wondered if the pain would end, But mostly, I wondered when?? It's hard to be without you, At times the days seem long, Sometimes I just sit crying, When there's really nothing wrong. I wish we'd had more time, Before your life was done. I hope your resting peacefully, My precious child, Close

To My Family  / Nikkitress Nelson (cousin)

THE BROKEN CHAIN

We little knew that morning that God was going to call your name,

In life we loved you dearly, in death we do the same.

It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone,

For part of us went with you, the day God called you home.

You left us peaceful memories, your love is still our guide,

And though we cannot see you, you are always at our side.

Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same,

But as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again.

MISS MY HOMIE (Ya' Boy CHRIS)  / Chris Chester (Friends)
Josh, I will always remember you and never forget that this is the day that Mrs. Prinda brought you into this world (9/27/89).  Well, Josh, I started the High School and that was so hard without my "BUDDY" along side me, but then I  thought about it, I know I'll see you again!! So until then let's remain "FRIENDS TIL' THE END" !!! Close
