| For those of you who watched Real Housewives of Orange County from Season 1 - Laurie Peterson’s son, Josh Waring, died recently at age 35. He had one daughter whom I believe Laurie was raising. Very sad. I seem to recall he had issues even in Season 1 with drugs/delinquency. As he moved through adulthood he continued to struggle with drugs and the law. I’m very sad for Laurie. His boyhood pictures were adorable. |

| So sad. Lauri has had custody of Josh’s daughter for a long time. I read that Josh was just released from prison a few days before his death, they believe it was an overdose. Such a sad reminder that you can have all the money and luxury and support and still suffer from substance abuse. So glad Kennady has Lauri! |

Very sad! I remember his 'talking head's from Season 1 and you could tell he was a very sweet person. Unbelievable that he went on to be charged with crimes like Attempted Murder. Substance Abuse is such a nightmare.
May he rest in peace. |

| This is so sad. Lauri and her husband adopted Josh’s daughter sometime back and are raising her. Tragic news. |

| These were the few seasons of RHOC that I watched and I remember her struggling with him and even having to let him go to juvenile detention because she was at such a loss what to do. I felt so much sympathy for all of them. She was very honest and open about it all. Such a shame for that family. |

| I think this happened a few days ago. She REALLY tried with him. I hope she knows in her core there was nothing more she could have done. His poor baby. |

Yes, he died on Easter Sunday. Laurie was so supportive of him. |

| His sister, Ashley, posted a very moving tribute on Instagram I think. It broke my heart about what she said about addiction. |
