Daddy,
It's been almost four years since you passed away. I can't even believe it sometimes, it still seems too unreal. We had Thanksgiving dinner at Grandma's house on Thursday and I couldn't stop thinking about how you should have been there. Every time I walk into that house, I'm overwhelmed with memories. I feel like a lot of things fell apart when you passed away and nothing is really the same. I miss you more than you could ever know and I love you so much. You were a great father and I will never forget you. I hope I'm making you proud.
I love you, that'll never change

Joe - It is 2 years since you left us. Your father and I think of you often. I told Joanna that If she or Jamie need anything to please call us.
They are so grown and beautiful and you would be very proud of them.
I wish that there was more I can do to let them know we are here for them. We miss you so much. The holidays are not the same without you and Elaine.
Love you always
Mom & Dad

Dad...so many images come to mind
whenever I speak your name;
It seems without you in my life
things have never been the same.
What happened to those lazy days
when I was just a child;
When my life was consumed in you
in your love, and in your smile.
What happened to all those times
when I always looked to you;
No matter what happened in my life
you could make my gray skies blue.
Dad, some days I hear your voice
and turn to see your face;
Yet in my turning...it seems
the sound has been erased.
Dad, who will I turn to for answers
when life does not make sense;
Who will be there to hold me close
when the pieces just don't fit.
Oh, Dad, if I could turn back time
and once more hear your voice;
I'd tell you that out of all the dads
you would still be my choice.
Please always know I love you
and no one can take your place;
Years may come and go
but your memory will never be erased.
It's almost been two years and I miss you more each day. I'm finally close to the end of high school, going to be out in the big world soon and I wish you were here to see it. I love you so much, rest in peace.

Words cannot describe how much I miss you - I know because I have tried.
Tears cannot express how much either - I know because I've cried.
You are truly missed & will never be forgotten. I think of you everyday & I am glad you are alright. May you rest in peace and until we meet again, I will remember you.
Love always.
December 18, 2008
You will always live in our hearts and prayers.

I have finished school now daddy.
I didn't do as well as I could have I miss you. I will try harder next year.
Mom is OK, she is sad sometimes, but she is taking good care of us. Casey is sad and Maddie is lost without you. This summer is long, but we are moving. I will take your picture and put it in my room.
Miss you Joanna

Thinking of Joe today, remembering who he was involved with Mass on his front lawn, with friends. He invited me to imagine that I was there with him, and I did. A special song, entitled "Stand Amazed in the Presence of Jesus the Nazarene" reminds me of Joe, as he, too, is amazed in the Presence of Jesus, too.

Happy Valentine's Day Joe. The girls missed the flowers and balloons you sent to them at school, and the cards you picked up at the last minute that always said the right thing.
We would have been married 21 years ago today at 7:30. Today, Joe, we really miss you

Mary Clark called me today. She got to know Joe in conversations with him as he was on his walks. She told me of their friendship, and reminded me of how Jow had a way of making people feel special and appreciated. He was in tremendous pain, but he remained optimistic and
upbeat as he went on with his struggle.
I miss Joe, more so today, as I hear another recall how much they miss him.
Mary, he is at peace nowm out of pain and into another journey. Thank you for helping him by comforting him and being his friend.
It meant alot to him.

Our daughter is 16 tomorrow. Joe wanted so much to be with her on this special day. He is. I see him in Joanna's eyes, her speech, her mannerisms, her sense of humor, her inability to sit still, and more.
Joe was a wonderful and loving father. Joanna and Jaime will always know how much he loved them by the memories he left them with.
Joanna is a wonderful legacy to Joe.
He was very proud to be her dad, and she is proud to be his daughter.

This year is ending on a sad note. Joe will be missed beyond measure, but as the sun comes up tomorrow morning, let's all try to smile for Joe. He is beyond pain, transformed and enjoying his reward for a life well lived.
Joe did not die, he passed into a new life. He is with us now, I can sense that.
As the new year comes, let's make Joe proud. Honor Joe's memory with
laughter, great conversation, empathy for each other, and do what he did so well, hold each other up.
Joe, Happy New Year. We Love you and miss your physical presence, Help us remember to be kind to each other and ourselves.

Merry Christmas Joe. I know how badly you wanted to be here, and you are. We can sense your spirit all around us.
The girls and I went over the Ken's house last night, and people smiled when they spoke of you and the memories they have of your life. You touched so many lives, and you didn't even know it. You are loved now and always

Joe has been in Heaven for two weeks and two days now. I miss his sense of humor, his presence, I know he is in a better place and is enjoying the conversations, totally pain free. It will take some time for the color to come back to our lives, right now everything seems so very monochrome I will never understand why Joe was picked for this journey,
but knowing he is without the horrible cancer brings me some comfort.

Joe is now in his heavenly home, surrounded by God's Love, Peace, and Joy. God is with us here too filling us with His Love, Peace and Joy. Through God, we have this wonderful connection to Joe now...and will be drawn back together when we too pass into the wonderful eternal home that awaits us. Thank you Lord for creating Joe and sharing him with us!

Having Joseph as a son was one of the best things that happened to us. Elaine was the other. Now Joseph and his sister are together. The pain of losing them is almost unbearable but they left us with their legacy, their children. They are a source of comfort to us. Joe helped us a lot after Elaine left us and was always there to help. We will miss him so much but he must know how proud he made us for the time he was here.
We will love you always,
Mom & Dad

Daddy. I miss you more than I could ever explain in words. I regret not showing you how much you ment to me in the time we had together. I knew this would happen someday, but never in my wildest dreams did I ever imagine you passing away so soon. Dad, you will never be forgotten, I will always love you, not one single human being on the face of this earth will ever, or can ever replace you. You ment and still mean so much to me, I love you always and forever, You're in a better place now. And I know, even though I may not see you, or hear you, you'll always be right next to me.
I love you daddy,
I'll never let the memories fade.

I only got to know Joe this past summer. He was a strong man to go through what he did. Whenever i saw him he was always in a good mood and came out to chat with me. He was a great guy. He is at rest and in a better place. Rest in peace Joe.

I had the privilege of sharing the life of this wonderful man for 22 years. He is by far the bravest person I will ever know. The love he felt for his daughters, his family, and friends was limitedless. He told me he was going home, and he did. The cancer took his body, but never his spirit. He is with us today and always, and the gift of the lessons he taught my daughters and I will be remembered for a life time and beyond.
Know that he loved each of you, and he is with you now, I can sense that
Love each other for Joe. Watch Notre Dame and ignore the losing season, bet horses based the the name, talk about food, throw the ball to your dog when you are too tired to move, have random acts of kindness, that would make Joe happy.
