Donna;
I think the hardest thing that Uncle Dick and I had to do was to visit you and Joe after learning what the Dr.said.We had mixed emotions about going but we will be forever thankful that we were able to tell Joe just how much he means to us.
Very rare do we get to tell someone how much we care for them before it is to late .Joe left this earth far to early but he left knowing how much he was loved.Donna we will always be there for you.
Love
Aunt Doris & Uncle Dick

Dear Donna, Joey, Krystal and Debbie,
The numerous lives that Joe touched in his short 55 years will forever be changed. We have suffered a tremendous loss in the passing of this wonderful man.
Be comforted in the fact that all of you were the loves of his life. You brought him great joy. You were always guaranteed a smile from him as soon as you mentioned "Little Baby Joey" or Baby Sebastian. He will always watch over and protect them.
He has left us with a legacy of love and happy memories to cherish forever.
Donna, you will find the strength to get through this. We are here for you always.
Joey and Krystal, your father gave you the gift of each other, You will get through this together. For you also we will always be here.
Everyone who knew Joe, loved him. He will be greatly missed.
Love and Prayers,
Cousins Beverly, Russ and Family

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Dear Donna,
Uncle Sal & I wanted to express our deepest sympathy on the passing of your beloved husband, Joe.
Although we didn't get to know him well, he touched our lives and all those who knew him - we will never forget of few conversations with Joe , Joanne Hill and his wonderful Italian receipes.
Our hearts go out to you and your family - he was too young to leave you.
Love Uncle Sal & Auntie Barbara

Donna...My Buzzin' Cousin....
Where do I begin? As I sit to write this I find myself with a very heavy heart. I want to say so many things... Like thank you for being not only a wonderful cousin but also the best friend a person could ever want or need. You have been always there to lend a helping hand and you open your heart and your home to every one who enters...
I also want to say thank you for bringing Joe into our family and into my life... He was someone who was always there with a kind word, encouragement, a smile... You and Joe graciously accepted me and Daniel into your lives and into your home when we were in our time of need... Thank you from the bottom of my heart...
I have so many wonderful memories of time we have spent together... I will never be able to hear "Who let the dogs out" with out shedding a tear...
I love you ... Thank you for being such a special person....
