I miss you so much Joey! I love you from the bottom of my heart! I will see you again soon…,,very soon!! Im so sorry Michelle and kids and to my mom and dad. No one should have to feel this pain. Its like no other. I love you all!
My Dad. There are no words to explain how I lost I feel. I love you , I truly hope one day we can all be together again! Miss you .
I an not able to even put into words yet. Our song was Forever Is As Far As I’ll Go. Forever was supposed to be much longer than this. Way too early and way more life should have been led, more grand children to be had, was hoping even maybe great grandchildren. More travel and life experiences. More of everything. Thirty six years together and now you are just gone. It will definitely be so very difficult, strange, unsettling and such a huge loss for what was supposed to be and what was planned.
I appreciate everyone for their love and support. I could not have made it through this especially without all the family that was there with me that last week and especially the very last night and early morning. You made the absolute impossible process become somehow manageable with love, support, and agreement and the whole while holding us all together to say goodbye. I know Joey felt all your love and felt much easier and safer to let go as he knew we all had him and each other. Thank you all, I know he felt so honored, loved, and treasured. I love each and everyone one of you so much and so did he!
I knew Joe for a short time while I lived out there in Missouri, he was absolutely incredible human being! You will be missed by many rest in peace
