Joe I just to wish you a very happy fathers day as you spend this day along side your father and grandfather. Everyone misses you terribly. We all wonder how it would be had we never had to experience 4-14-11. But knowing that you were chosen to be in a better place brings peace to our hearts. Its the missing you that tears us apart. Your wife and your boys continue to honor you. HAPPY FATHERS DAY!!!

Joseph Quihuis

February 26, 2012

Almost a year already! It flew by so fast. I can still hear your voice and picture you so vivid when I close my eyes. With each day it gets harder but at the same time it gets better, only knowing that the day we meet again nears! Dad I miss you like crazy!!! I still can't believe you are NOT here with us. Julius sees you around him and he let's us know that by saying "Tata" and that gives me a good feeling knowing you are close by. I remember we would stare at each other and say we didn't look alike and now all I want to hear about is how much I look just like you. I love you dad, I miss you, we all miss you! Talk to you later

Son-in law Joe,little did we know that morning God was going to call your name.In life we loved you dearly,in death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you,you did not go alone,for part of us went with you the day God called you home. You left us peaceful memories,your love is still our guide,and though we can not see you,you are always at our side. Our family chain is broken and nothing seems the same,but as God calls us one by one,the chain will link again. May God bless you, and keep a watchful eye on your wife and the boys and all your family.With love your dad-in-law Joe T.

Brother in law ... this thanksgiving was so hard. Arianna went to bed crying for her tio joe and I woke up crying because we all miss you. I never in a million years thought my sister and our family would go through this so early in life. But I know everything happens for a reason. Though your not here in body you will always be here in spirit and in all our memories. RIP JOE QUIHUIS

November 24, 2011

brother..just need to express whats heavy on my heart! everyday is a hard day without u here in physical body.. in spirit im thankful u let me know u walk w me. sometimes im selffish because its not enough. i try n hold myself together but it beats me at my time of weakness! the feeling people say when something is missing,i know now! i never realized how much losing a brother would effect me but its not the same without u. everyday i wanna text u like we used to but instead im talking to u wen i walk past ur memorial at home. it makes me we smile wen i know ur safe w mom n dad n god but its hard not to frown cuz ur body is gone. today is thanksgiving n i'm thankful to call u my big brother! today is our bonding holiday,they day were supposed to be driving to the dunes n having fun. instead i fight to hold my head high n smile but w god on my side n u watching over me,ill do my best brother! "friends by chance,brothers by luck". i'll always remember u told me that. i love u big brother,mom n dad!

21 years seemed like a blink of an eye! 21 years wasn't enough time.. we get caught up in the little things in life and sometimes don't pay attention to what we have right in front of us and most of the time we seem to realize everything when it's too late! the wise words you would preach to us, at the time seemed pointless but now with all this time to reflect back on it I now know what you meant! we miss you dearly Dad. no one will ever ever take your place! thank you for everything you have done for me and the knowledge you gave me and I hope that I can be the father to Julius that you were to me and my brothers! another day without you makes it a day closer to you.. until then... I love you and see ya later Dad

love Julius and Joseph

Hey brother in law, every day I fight back my tears becuz its so hard to accept that your no longer here. I hold back the tears so that I can be strong for the family but everyday in my alone time I think bout how you were taken too soon from your wife and kids. You were such a good person from the inside to the outside. 4 months seems like forever yet seems jus like yesterday. We all miss you dearly and we will keep your memory alive. Never forgotten and forever missed.
