Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Dear Mrs. Miller,
Thinking of you with sadness in my heart. I just wanted to share with you my genuine appreciation for the sacrifices your husband and family have made on the behalf of Pennsylvania. As a mother of 4 young children, I do not take it for granted that there are people who are willing to sacrifice their lives in order for us to be safe. Thank you,

We lost another today, Trooper Paul Richey may he be resting with you.
As I am thinking of his wife Carrie and their children today’s tragedy is forcing me to re-live June 7th as I know and feel the pain they are having. I don’t reflect often on that day, there were so many days in our lives with joyous memories that there is no need to think of that one. I have cried all day since hearing the tragic news and it feels like this has tore open that deep wound again. I keep going over the day again and again; going to Lehigh, being at Lehigh, leaving Lehigh without you. Remembering that you went to work that day and everything was fine then; just like Paul today I’m sure. You kissed me goodbye, hugged me and say I love you like always- how was I to know that was the last time. Should I have known somehow? I miss you so much, the girls miss you so much, I can’t be right without you. You were everything to me, and I can’t seem to get how that is gonna work without you here. It breaks my heart that you are not here to enjoy the kids with me. Justine is going to get her permit soon, Breana is getting great grades- plus being her goofy self. Joslyn is really coming off with some funny sayings and gestures I wish I could hear you laughing at them- and blaming them on me ;)
I know Carrie is heading for some of the same experiences that I have had, she and Paul have 2 children a son and daughter. My heart is breaking for them all, and I wish I had the answers to make it easier for her.
You, Daddy and now Paul watch over us from up above and help guide us with your knowledge please.

I love you with every breath that I take until we meet again I will be here waiting.
Love, Angie

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.

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.
