I've always been a shy person and only knew you for a short time, but I wanted to thank you for making me feel welcome into your home, life, and family. I wish you could be here; I wanted to ask you a question in the future that would mean alot to me, but time was not on our side.

Please know this Joe; I love your daughter and grand-daughter very very much, and I will, with all my heart, protect, support, and love these two wonderful girls. I love and miss you.

The words never seem to come out right in a time of sorrow, no one can ever say what you need to hear to feel better. Dad was a great man, I may never be able to hear your voice on earth again but i will never forget your face or the way you made me feel. I love you and miss you a lot. I can't wait to see you again someday.

We knew little that morning that god would call your name.In life we loved you dearly,In death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you, But you didn't go alone. Part of us went with you the day god called you home. You left us beautiful memories,Your love is still our guide. Though we can no longer see you we know you're always by our side.Our family chain is broken, and nothing feels the same.But as god calls us one by one,the chain will link again.

I miss you dad and I hope you knew how much we love you.
