To the surviving fiance of Josh:

I spoke last week with another surviving fiance and wanted to reach out to you and offer my condolences for I know you have a very heavy heart as does Josh's immediate family. Although my earlier reflection didn't make mention directly of your own personal grief, I know the dreams you had of a life with Josh were also shattered.

I pray for solace for all those who love and miss Chad. May you too get the support you need from the law enforcement community.

Rest In Peace, Josh. I am so sorry you were robbed of your life at such a young age. You look so heartbreakingly young in your picture.

Police Officer Joshuah Patrick Broadway I did not know you, but was made aware of you from a geo-travelbug. Your family and freinds miss you dearly I can tell by the reflections. I'm sure if we met we would have been swapping cop stories. It is my honor to know you now and I will never forget your name. Rest easy now brother the watch is on us.

Josh,life has not been the same without you here. I really love you so much and that was taken away from me so early. My heart aches everytime I think that I cannot touch you or hold you ever again. I know that you loved me and you know that I loved you. That bond will always be there.Holding you is what I really miss.I know you feel my pain, because I know you feel the same.But you are watching over all of us.Your mom suffers everyday. I wish I could ease her pain. She is the strongest person I have ever met. Strong like you. I know if your life had not been cut so short we would be together and I would get the chance to see your strength like your moms. She raised a great son, loving, caring, and ready to serve for the police dept. We will meet again one day and I will once again tell you how much I loved you. Until then... RIP my love.

It's taken over 6 months to be able to write to you. It was just too hard to do. We love you and miss you so much. Not a day goes by that we don't think of you, or speak your name. The tears have never stopped, I don't think they ever will. We just take one day at a time. Josh, we are so proud of you, and couldn't wait to see you and Kelly walk down the isle as husband and wife. You are family, our son-in-law, and always will be.

Kelly is so sad, and will never be the same without you. Her grief is overwelming, and breaks my heart. Know that she will never be alone. Her family and friends are always around her, to love and support her. She is staying incredibly strong to carry the baby to full term. I know that you are here, helping us care for them, watching over them, keeping them safe. We are so grateful for this precious gift, your child, a part of you that we will have forever.

Josh not a day goes by that I don't think about you. I will never forget the conversations that we would have at work and the advice that you would ask for. I'm going to miss you at the fair this year, which is just around the corner. God bless and I will see you again one day brother.

Your birthday is tommorow and it will be a hard day for all of us.We miss you so much.I do not take a day for granted any more. I call your brothers everyday just to tell them I love them. I wish I could call you right now. But I know you are watching over us right at this very time. You had such a strong will to be a great police officer and I am proud of you for the short time you had. I am going to remember the great times we had and all the funny things you did, like cheating while we played cards. That always made me laugh. You and your dry humor made me laugh so much. So tommorow, I am going to wish you the best birthday ever because I know God is giving you more than any one could ever give you here on earth. I love you Josh, Happy Birthday.

Its been a while now and it still sucks your not here to talk about how bad we have it on our shift. I stopped by the cemetary the other day and was suprised there wasnt a headstone yet but I believe that your mom has it ordered now. I cant wait to find out what the baby is going to be. I think shell find out in a few days so Ill be calling. Im going to make the trip up north when its born hopefully. You know how they can be with off days around here. Anyways, tomorrow is your 22nd birthday and I will be on the road so I dropped by to say an early happy birhday. Ill drink an extra cold one for you.

DUE TO THE EVENTS IN OAKLAND CA. I DECIDED TO LOOK AT ODMP WHICH I USED TO FREQUENT EARLY IN MY CAREER. BACK THEN I DID IT TO APPRECIATE HOW WE NEED TO CHERISH LIFE AND LOVED ONES AS WE DO NOT KNOW HOW THE DAY WILL END ESPECIALLY IN THIS LINE OF WORK. I DID NOT KNOW OF OFC BROADWAY'S INCIDENT. I WOULD LIKE TO EXTEND MY CONDOLENCE AND PRAYERS TO THE MONTGOMERY POLICE DEPT AND TO OFC BROADWAY'S FAMILY. HE IS IN HEAVEN'S STREETS.
