'Actual Housewives' Star Lauri Peterson's Son Josh Waring Lifeless at 35

LP adds, “Thank you to all of the people that have tried to help Josh along the way. I am witness to many Angels on earth. Not everyone understands those suffering from substance abuse disorder, but I am forever grateful for your understanding and the impact you made on his life.” She also thanks parents whose kids were similarly situated for sharing their stories.

Lauri finishes by saying … “Josh I love you so much and I will miss you terribly! I will forever be your ‘Mama Bear & Mama Dukes’ and every time the clock turns to 11:11, I will expect your call to tell me to make a wish! … Heaven has gained the coolest angel and you have gained your freedom at last sweet boy.”

Like we said, Josh had experienced significant difficulty in his life, much of which pertained to the substance abuse Lauri references here. He’d also had run-ins with the law through the years … all of which was well-documented. His issues had been covered on ‘RHOC’ too.

Josh was only 35.
