We met adam at the station and all got on the train... i fell asleep lol... u woke me up at barnham so that i was ready for chi. wen we got off the train i met my mates u gave me a hug and kiss on the cheek said C'YA laters meet me outside my block at lunch... well... lunch came... we ate junk and laughed with adam and that i went bk to my class and that was that!!! i never knew that a boring day at college would be part of a history of memorys i have stored....i miss you everyday but today much much more. I never thought the only way i could let you kno all of this would be on ur own web page... instead of a text of phone call

Hey!/ Eric Noga (brother in spirit )
I don't know who you are or anything about you but I found your facebook group randomly.
I thought I would stop by on here and leave you a note saying that from what I have read you were an amazing kid! I'm happy your spirit is in heaven with the God of Creation. I hope and pray that God's glory, mercy, and grace continue to blast through you and change many lives and souls here on the earth. Continue to be an apostolic witness to the glory in which God has planned for you brother. Continue to motivate people as you so have seemingly done.
May love and grace rest with you; and may the spirit of God fill you with his fiery love!
With compassion and my condolences,
Eric M. Noga Close

Was it you in that BMW ? / Dave (Brother in Law )Read >>
Was it you in that BMW ? / Dave (Brother in Law ) Hello mate it's been a while since I last spoke to you, I saw the weirdess thing on the way to work the other day I saw a parked car in distance and I am sure that I saw someone sitting in the BMW on their mobile phone, when I got up close to it was no-one there which is weird as I swear there was definately someone in the car.. It was very strange, maybe it was you and if it was you could have aleast been driving a Z3 !!!Close
Our darling Joshua Although we are far away in Dallas with Neil JoAnn and Laura our thoughts of you will not be any less. It is still so hard for all of us and we think of you constantly. As Emma has told you we are a bit spread out this year but nevertheless we are all still together in spirit. Have a super Christmas with all your mates and watch over us all.
Remember when we sneaked out early on christmas morning 2003 to escape the madness at home?
We took Louis for a walk along the river adur. It was cold but sunny. That little king charles spaniel attacked louis (who was only a puppy back then) and you kicked it! We laughed so much. It was a bit naughty but Louis was whimpering and you got mad that the woman didn't stop her dog. Didn't seem to bother him too much though because he soon started running along the banks with you.
By the time we got back, everyone was at home and it was a nightmare, everyone in the kitchen trying to do dinner so we me, you, wendy and Louis all went in the front room. The calls soon came from the kitchen, "would you kids pack it in and stop making such a racket" How boring ;-) we were only play wrestling ha ha. Of course, louis kept trying to join in in a "naughty way" ha ha.
Christmas just isn't the same now, you're not here and its so hard. Just read Dad's note to you, has it really been 4 christmas's? Thats not right at all.
We will all try and get through yet another one but doing something different. Its not christmas day anymore, it "duvet day"
I sent you a letter up with my birthday balloons last week, did you get it? Don't forget, me, you and Louis, Christmas day morning tradition. I will see you nice and early :-) if only in person and not just in spirit!
Love you always & forever and miss you more and more each day. I know you've got your work cut out this year with seeing Nannie & Grandpa in Dallas, Wendy in Boston and us left back in England but please stay close to us all xxxxx
Dodgy Mistletoe / Daddua
Our fourth Christmas without you..........
I know you just love this time of the year Josh and if I close my eyes I can see you armed with a dodgy sprig of mistletoe, puckering your lips, ready to pounce on just one of your many unsuspecting girlies!
Me and Mummy have put a snow man in you bedroom window and when the night falls he lights up, I can see him from right across the other side of the park when I’m bringing Louis home from his evening walk and I often wish that light would guide you home. We haven’t had any snow this winter yet Josh, perhaps you could arrange some?! You did send snow in April and I recon you was having a bit of a laugh there mate!! I did try to build a snow man like we did together that time Wil but Louis wasn’t having any of it, all he wanted to do was demolish any attempt I made…… Bless.
This is our fourth without you mate but when I say ‘without you’ I only mean that in the physical sense. No one is closer to me than you in my soul Josh, Christmas day or any other. I will always keep talking to you mate and if I manage to pluck up the courage to ware a Christmas cracker hat on the day it will be because you allow it.
Well it was Emma's 27th birthday yesterday and we all went out to Limings for a meal. Kelli came too along with some of Emma's work friends. You were so sadly missing Josh especially as Dad and Dave were the only men, they really need more men to boost their numbers. they said they felt that they were on a hen night. They started playing very silly games with all of the party poppers and table confetti, sticking it on people. You used to have such fun with that, sticking numbers and 'Happy Retirement' on every one's forehead.
As always just 9 days to go until Christmas, Emma's birthday is just so close. This year we are having a duvet day on Christmas Day(apart from walking Louis) and then it is steak and chips all round on boxing day. Wish you could be here with us so much.
