Dear Joshua: I am so sorry about your Dad. I have known your Dad a long time and he was such a cool guy. I see a lot of his best traits in you-sweet, funny, kind, never met a stranger, quick to help someone out. Even though you can't see him Joshua, he can see you. I know how proud he will be to see you grow up. This is a hard time for you and your Mom but I know you will be strong for her. Don't be afraid to cry little man that helps the healing process and is no measure of weakness. No matter what happens in your future, always remember how much your Daddy loved you and still does even though it is from afar. Please know that you have so many people that love you and will be here when you need us. Love you, Kim King

Oh my goodness Rooty, I can hardly believe the news. You were so young! I am just shocked, as I know all must be. Rooty was my buddy when we were kids.Our mommas were best friends growing up, so our families spent so much time together. Our passion was riding our dirt bikes on his property outside his house. He never saw me as a "girl", but a buddy that would match him hill for hill. We would only come in to eat. I also remember how before then, when Pat and Jack lived in the trailor park and it was in the shape of an "L", which I thought was cool. They lived next to a drive in and Rooty and I would sneak and watch movies together while our momma's visited, getting all gussied up for a night on the town. It has been so many decades since I have thought of these childhood memories.Thank you for taking me back, it saddens me that we did not get to stay in touch.We never had all these gadgets to us as a social connection, I wish we would have. You will be dearly missed and my heart goes out to your family. Love, Tammy
