These pictures are how I most remember Josh! I hadn't seen him in a few years and had no idea the cute, smiley Joshie I grew up with grew up himself to become such a handsome and athletic ladies man :)
I have only the best memories of him as Lauren's little brother...Lauren would hug him and play with his hair and say "Oh Joshieeee!" It's also true that whenever we wanted to watch a movie, we'd yell for Josh upstairs and he always came down to help his sister and her incompetent friends work the tv.
He was such a caring, selfless, and considerate little brother. Let his compassion and kind heart live on through us and our actions towards eachother.
Love,
Marisa
Josh was a precious baby. My first memory of him was when he was just a week or two old, sleeping in a carrier with his mom and dad the very first day I met them. Over the following few years, the Anderson home became my second home and I babysat Josh on many ocassions.
I learned "family" and how to be a mom from Josh and Tim and Sue and Tyler and Gillian and Lauren. I have modeled my family around much of what I learned from them and will continue to do so. I have nothing but respect for Tim and Sue and how they have raised their amazing family.

Sue,
Thanks for sharing all those beautiful pictures. It reminds me of the love that Josh was surrounded with by both immediate and extended family. He had a very rich life full of love and positive experiences. I am so sorry for your loss. What you are sharing with others through your grief is nothing short of amazing and it is obvious by all the posts that you are using your pain and loss to help others. I applaud you and honestly am in awe of you. You and your whole family are continually in my thoughts and prayers.
Love,Joyce
I have GOT to get our picture of Josh in the Barney hat scanned! :)
