Joey, i miss you so very much and i will always miss you. i guess im the lucky one because you spent a year and a half with me. you always came to the house at around 9:00 pm . joey i didn't understand why you left us. but today i know why you left us. joey i will always remember that you loved me as much as i loved you and no matter what you knew how much i loved you and i knew how much you loved me like you said were brother's - and blood is thicker than water and it will always be that way. and no matter what that can't be changed joey i love you and i will always keep you in my heart always. love you your brother Vince
February 7, 2011
Joe, its amazing that since you have left us nothing has been the same accept for one person. That will never change. You once said that a picture is worth a thousand words. I believe that to be true. When will one change. Probably never. I remember you saying how you felt that life is what you make of it and that how can you not do anything with it. You also said that a leopard will never change its spots. I definately know that is true. RIP Joe

A PRAYER FOR JOSEPH:
LET US PRAY
Almighty God, through the death of Your Son on the cross, you have overcome death for us. through his burial and resurrection from the dead you have made the grave a holy place and restored to us eternal life. We pray for those who died believing in Jesus and are buried with him in the hope of rising again. God of the living snd the dead, may those who faithfully believed in you on earth praise you for ever in the joy of heaven. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen
