Joshua R Lynch     ( PD)

    I met PD almost 11 years ago when i first started dating his brother Jere.  He was about eight years old.  He was a little thing, although he could still pick me up.  Jere used to watch him and his brother Marky alot on the weekends.  PD and Marky were a little arnry at times but most kids their age are!  I have always thought of PD as a brother to me.  I worked with PD when he started working a Valley View.  He dish washed there for a while.  PD was always great with children.  When Makayla, Maddison, and Macenzie were born he was soo proud to be there Uncle.  They all thought the world of him.   I know that Jere and i both wish that our daughter could have met him!  We know that he would be great with her.
    When Jere and i got married in July of 2004 we asked PD to be in our wedding.  He seemed very surprised that we wanted him to.  PD always looked up to Jere, so i think it made him feel good that we wanted him to share in our beautiful day.  
   A month before Jere and i got married i had lost my baby at five months!  That same day PD came to stay with me.  He stayed with me for about a month and lived with Jere and i.  He took great care of me and kept me company.  If it was not for him and Jere being my rocks i don't think that i could have gotten through that tragedy.  No other 15 year old boy would stop what he was doing and come take care of his sister in law.  I have the most respect for PD!!  He had soo much compassion for each and every person he knew.  He had such a big heart!
   On June 14th 2005 we lost our dear PD!!  That day i will remember for the rest of my life!  He ment soo much to all of us!  PD had gone down to West Palm Beach, Florida with one of his buddies at the time.  When we got the call that he had passed, no one i think believed it because it had to be someone else.  Not our PD.  Little did we know that day would change the rest of our lives.  The waiting to find out what happened was really hard!!  No one that young is supposed to pass!  
   PD to me was one of the sweetest, kindest, caring, & compassionate people that i will ever know!!
There will never be a day that i will not think of him!!  His memory will never fade!  I look forward to the day i will see him again!
