Reflections for Trooper Joshua Daniel Miller

Angie,
I am Mark's sister. I was in Laceyville today and was able to visit Josh's grave for the first time. What a wonderful tribute to a wonderful man. I shed tears not only for Josh but for you and the girls as well. It saddens me that you have to face this journey.

I think of you and Josh and the girls often. Especially today in the wake of yet another tragedy for the PSP.
I hope that you all find the strength that you need to find your new normal.

Please know that you are never far from my thoughts and prayers.

If you ever need someone to listen, I am here for you.

What a hero this man was.

Josh was an amazing person!! He was my best friend, my husband, and the best father one could only wish for. I could write for days about the love that we had for one another or the wonderful life we shared together and never coming close to giving it justice. My life is one that before June 7th, was truely a dream come true. Everyday since the 7th I awake with sadden heart and emptiness no one would envy. I have a wonderful family and amazing friends that are helping me and the girls through these challenging times. These posts that I have been able to start reading are words of empowerment as well, to know there are so many good people left in the world. So from the bottom of my heart; I thank all of you that are keeping my family in your thoughts and prayers. Words will never be able to express the gratitude I have for the amazing support we have been given.


And to My love:

The holidays were even harder than I had expected they would be. I did my best to stay strong however I don't think I quite did that. I am empty without you and I am stuggling here without you. Time is going on for everyone and I can't get out of June. The girls and I miss you so so much, we talk about you all of the time to keep you here with us. Until we meet again my love I will be here with the kids and keeping you alive in spirit. I love you with all of my heart and soul.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year there in heaven.

Love, Sweetness

I thought of you today as your family had to go through the first Christmas holiday without you. I remember going through that and my heart aches and what they have to feel.

We will never make sense of why things had to happen. Only know is that you are a hero.

I will always look over your family and help them in any way I can.

Keep watch over them Angel in Blue!

As I sit here on Christmas Eve I think of you and your family.I was just outside looking at a garden I was working on the night I heard all the sirens a half mile away that terrible night.Every time I look at it I think of you Josh.The garden is just some rocks piled up around an oak stump with a whiskey barrel on top.The flowers I planted in it last June will always be a tribute to the sacrifice you made.I know it's kind of corny bud but I miss you.Merry Christmas Trooper Joshua Miller.R.I.P

Dear Angela and girls,

I sit here tonight thinking of you. I just wanted you to know that you and the kids are still in are thoughts and prayers. I hope as time goes on that the pain in your heart will ease. My husband went to the PA State Police Academy with Josh and of course only had wonderful things to say about him. My husband has all of Josh's memorial shirts and wears them proudly at least twice a week. Again just wanted to let you know that we will never forget you and the kids and you are in my thoughts.

Mrs. Miller,
My husband had the honor of working along side your husband when a young officer from NY, Russell Timoshenko was murdered.
I am so truly sorry for your loss. I cannot even begin to understand your grief.
Trooper Joshua D. Miller is a person we will tell our children about. The kind of hero who has given everything to do his job. Your husband is a true hero.
I believe that there is a special place in Heaven for each fallen officer where they continue to protect us all, always.
You remain in our prayers. My husband is a better man having met him.

Mrs Miller, family and Coworkers. My heart aches for your lost, I can't begin to imagine the pain that has cut through you losing this hero from your lives. The possibility of this happening is always there yet Trooper Miller got dressed every day and answered the call fully knowing that his number may be called next. That in itself shows how special of an individual he was. May you find comfort in knowing that your loved one is a hero in the eyes of so many people, even those of us who never got the honor of meeting him. My Thoughts and prayers are with you.

Mrs Miller I would like to also extend Deepest Sympathies from all the women at Policewives.org . We are terribly sorry for your loss and know that you will be in our thoughts and prayers through this difficult time.
