Following the tragic passing of Lauri Peterson’s son, Josh Waring, the public’s outpouring of love has been high. It makes me so happy to see this. When people can see past the drama on Real Housewives of Orange County, realizing that very real lives are at stake, well, it’s a beautiful thing.

In addition to the public’s responses, Lauri’s fellow Bravo stars, including Andy Cohen, are also weighing in, as a supportive family should.
Despite their antics, the Bravo family’s a tight one

Andy was the first Bravo star to post on Lauri’s emotional tribute to Josh. “You tried so hard to save him, and by sharing Josh’s story you would up educating people around the world about the tragedy of addiction for those who are touched by it. May Josh’s memory be a blessing to you always,” he commented.
Likewise, Kelly Dodd also quickly chimed in, writing “My prayers go out to y’all.”
Following this was Slade Smiley. He recently lost a child to cancer, so he knows how dark this road can be. “The one thing that keeps me going is the thought that this is not goodbye, but rather it’s just I’ll see you again soon. Try to stay in the light and know our loved ones are now free of their pain and earthly constraints.” His wife Gretchen Rossi added, “May the Lord surround you with his angels and give you strength.”
As for Lauri’s earlier season costars, they’re all still around as well. Jo De La Rosa expressed that she was “so incredibly sorry,” and that she’s “Here if you need anything.” Likewise, Jeana Keough also commented “My heart breaks for you, I know how hard you worked to be his advocate. Big hug and prayers for your family at this sad time.”
Tamra Judge also supports Lauri, as she shared that her “heart breaks” for her friend, while Eileen Davidson simply wrote ”I am so very sorry Lauri. Love to you and your family.”
Coming in as the final Bravo supporter, for now at least, is Peggy Tanous, who kindly expressed that “Josh is in a beautiful place now, as hard as it is.”
