Hey sweetie you were such a sweet person 💗 gonna miss ur sweet face lil cuzin RIP

Cyntheress Thomas Nicky

Josh ("Seven"), it's hard to believe you're really gone. We had just shared a long heart-to-heart conversation, and I never imagined it would be our last.

Thank you for trusting me enough to open up and for allowing me to do the same. Those conversations will always stay with me. You weren't just my son's best friend—you became someone I genuinely cared about like a son, and I'll always remember your heart, your smile, and the person you were.

My heart breaks for your family, your friends, and especially for my son, who lost a brother in friendship. I pray that God gives everyone who loved you the strength to carry this unimaginable loss.

Rest easy, Josh. You may be gone from this world, but you'll never be forgotten. Your memory and the impact you had on those around you will live on forever. 🕊️💙

Josh you have always been such a kind and respectful young man since you were just a little boy. I remember having big sleepovers with plenty of kids. You would always be the one child to stop playing just to come and ask if there was anything I needed help with. Thank you for always being the voice of reason to my son Kaelin. He will never forget the positive impact you left on his life. To your mother, Celia, I won't pretend to be able to imagine how hard this must be for you. My only hope is that you can find some peace in knowing that you raised an amazing young man. Job well done.

With Love,

Shanta

To My Son Seven, My Right Hand Man

From the day you came into my life, you became my son—not by blood, but by love. Being your stepfather was never just a title; it was one of the greatest honors of my life.

You welcomed me, trusted me, and allowed us to build a bond that grew stronger with every passing year. Thank you for the memories, the laughter, the conversations, and the moments we shared. I will always cherish them.

You were an incredible son—kind, respectful, compassionate, and full of strength. I admired the man you became and the way you cared for those around you. You had a way of encouraging others, making people smile, and reminding everyone that love and kindness still exist.

I hope you always knew how proud I was of you. You brought joy into my life in ways I can never fully describe. Though I may not have given you life, you gave my life greater purpose, and for that I will be forever grateful.

The pain of losing you is beyond words, but so is the love I will always have for you. You will forever be my son, and nothing—not even death—can change that. Your memory will forever live on in my heart, in the stories I tell, and in the love you left behind.

Until we meet again, know that you were deeply loved, you made a lasting difference in my life, and I will carry you with me always.

With all my love,

Your Stepfather Moolah

My Dearest Son, Joshua McArthur (Itty Bitty)

There are no words that can truly express the depth of the love I have for you or the pride I have always felt in being your mother. You have been so much more than a son—you have been my best friend, my greatest encourager, my confidant, and one of life's greatest blessings.

Thank you for every laugh we shared, every conversation that lifted my spirits, every hug that reminded me I was never alone, and every act of kindness that reflected the beautiful heart you carried. You brought strength when I felt weak, hope when I needed it most, and joy simply by being yourself.

You have always been a wonderful son—loving, compassionate, selfless, and faithful. The way you cared for others, offered encouragement, and stood by the people you loved is something I will forever admire. You made my life richer than you will ever know.

Though I can no longer hold your hand, you will forever hold my heart. The memories we made together will remain my greatest treasures, and your love will continue to guide me every day.

Until we meet again, know that you will always be my precious son, my best friend, and a gift I will cherish for all eternity.

With all my love, now and forever more
