Joe,
I want to thank you for everything you have done for me. You have done more for me in the past 2 years that I have known you than most people have my entire life. You, among others, have helped me through so much and I wish I would have been there to say goodbye. I found out tonight that you had passed. You were kind of like a father to me. Never pointing me in the wrong direction.
There were so many questions I had. I hoped and prayed for you to be here to help me through more, but God has a different plan for you now. I hope I can as good of a person as you were to me. I will miss you alot Joe. Help me though the tough times ahead of me from up above. Look out for Kelly, Tara, and, of course, your granddaughter.
You certainly showed me your strength over the past couple of months. Again, I will miss you Joe and I will never forget you.
