Reflections for Police Officer Joshuah Patrick Broadway
Josh, I never had the honor of meeting you. Yet, our paths have crossed for years. Your family lived in my neighborhood, I played at your graduation, and prayed for you at the time of your accident. I never knew seeing that on the news, what an impact you'd have on my life. Through your sacrifice, I met your older brother who has changed my life completely. He talks about you often, and not with sadness but with pride and always with a smile on his face. I can tell you were a great person who has done many great things. I've seen this page many times and even read your mother's comments before ever knowing one day I would call her my mother in law. So thank you for your sacrifice that ultimately brought me my husband and soon to be bringing us a son. We are naming him after you. I couldn't think of a better name for our first and I know he'll make us as happy as you've made your family. RIP

Hello sweetheart.. for some reason you have been on my mind all day..Ive cried, laughed and even got mad once. oh well thats just the way it is some days. Sami is ready to pop. Josh is so ready to come meet us all. It has been very exciting to see her grow with that baby. It has also been great to see Jamie grow as a man husband and father. I don't think he fully understands yet but it wont been much longer.
Son, I miss you so much it hurts.....love mom

ok I didnt get to finish. Anyway OB told me that he was on site of your accident soon after it happened and he never left your side. It didnt dawn on me at the time how important that means to me. I guess I have still kinda been in shock. For some reason I cant seem to find the words to tell him and all the other officers who were there for us and still are 24/7 how thankful we are. Watch over all of them baby. Times are hard they need my blue eyed angel watching their backs. I miss you baby and love you..mom

Josh has been 2 long years now. You are still missed and thought of every day. I know you are looking down from heaven on your family and your extended brothers and sisters in blue. I still think about you every day that passes and will never forget the times that we spent together at work. Your family will always be in my prayers. Till we meet again my brother.

Our most loved Josh, we miss you so much and the day of your passing is approching on 2 years now. Your mom is staying strong, but often calls crying because she does miss you so much. The pain of the loss of a child is great.And the life that was so valuable to us was cut to short.I cannot feel her pain but I see her pain and hear it in her voice. It is usually easy to say to some one that you know how they feel, but do we truly know how this pain feels, unless you have lost a child. I have read thur the many reflections you have received and many people are so kind to leave such great uplifing messages. We continue to keep you in our daily thoughts and hope you are watching over all of us.I miss you playing cards and cheating so you could win. I miss your dry, funny humor, and I truly miss more than anything, the big bear hugs you always gave me.You are truly missed, but we have some of the best memories ever that will always make us smile. We love you Josh.

Josh, I never had the honor of meeting you, but not a day goes by that I don't think of you. We're the same age and came on the job at about the same time, so when I read of your untimely passing, it hit close to home. Know that you are in the hearts and minds of those who loved you, and even of those who never had the privilege of meeting you. Rest in peace, my brother.
Susan, as I sit here and read your comments, I can't help but feel your pain. Nothing will bring Josh back, but he will live on forever in those of us who wear the uniform. Josh became a part of a brotherhood the day he swore that oath, and that brotherhood will always be there for you. You will forever be a part of our family. Stay strong.
