my goodness. this is a time for grieving not fighting. I was very upset cause when my uncle died they didnt include his first wife all because his children and his 2nd wife didnt like her. the fact is they were married and people do family searches online for their ancestors. I feel everyone should be included no matter what. but this is not the place and time to argue. my prayers go out to the whole entire family not just one certain person.

I am Joshua's aunt and I was also Steve's sister-in-law.This is a very difficult time for everyone involved.My heart goes out to all involved but mostly for Josh and Steve. This is not what either of them would have wanted.This is a time to mourn and to heal not send messages to blame each other. this will not bring Steve back .Please think of this family and all the children involved they do not need this.Nor does Steve's wife.This is not the time or place to do this.

I realize people are upset but please for the sake of this family let's pull them together and not apart.I do thank all who have thought of Josh at this time.

To Tim & Peggy Booe, what do you call keeping children from their father for many years and not contacting them when their biological father dies, and leaving them out of his life FOREVER? Josh and his family will never be able to make right what was taken away from his by others choice!

Josh all of our heart go out to you for never getting the chance to meet your real father that you so dearly wanted to meet. The injust that has been served to you and your family is a very sad situation. God will be with you and guide you in your loss for others preventing you and your father to meet on earth, but no one will prevent you for meeting at the "Gates of Heaven!"
