My Dearest Joe, 15yrs ago today God took you Home. My Life will never be the Same. Brandon turned 29 yesterday, he was only 14 when you passed, and it hasn't been good for him. Or any of us for that matter, you were such a big part of our lives, and will continue to be, even though your not here with us. You have two more Granddaughters also, Renzci was so young back then, and now we have Ciana and Emma. I wish you were here to see how much they have all grown, they also along with our Boys are my whole world. There is not a Day that goes by that you're not on my mind, and in my heart, you're loved and missed more than you know. Please continue to watch over all of us, and mostly Brandon, he's going through a very tough time now Joe . I'm doing my best to take care of him, to make sure he gets through this. Never forget how much you are Loved and Missed by everyone who knows you. Rest in Eternal Peace Joe. Love Forever Your Baby Girl

My Dearest Joe,
Today Is Valentines Day, A day when everyone should be with that "Special Someone" and Even though you are looking Down on Me from Heaven, I wanted to Say Happy Valentines Day To the Only Man I will Truly ever Love...You always brought so much happiness into my Life, Not just on this Day, but Every day... I miss You so much, and My Love for you is neverending.. I'm sitting here of course crying my Eyes out because I wish you were still here with Me and Our Boys..they too Miss you more than you will ever know..but they are handling it, I am to Kind Of..who am I kidding, My Heart is forever Broken.
nothing will ever change that. I do thank you so much for Giving me the Strength I need everyday to go On unfortunately today Isn't one of those Days...I'm very sad and Lonely without You Hon, I'm sitting here thinking about our entire Life together, and I will treasure those memories forever.If you could see me now.If you could look into my eyes You would know I am eternally yours,You would then realize I shall never love another, My heart beats only for you, Each beat echoing my everlasting love
in all I say and do.If two souls were to ever be as one
It's your soul and mine. If forever is everlasting, then so is this love of mine.
Happy Valentines Day!!!
I Love You, & Miss You

Happy Thanksgiving Hon,
But What is so Happy About it? This is our 3rd Thanksgiving without You, and it still hurts so much not having you here with us. I know i havent written anything here for you in awhile but your still very much a part of all of us, especially me, I can feel you with me all the time, but still i am very sad when i think of all the special times we shared and now that the holidays are here, it saddens me more, soon Xmas will be here too and I'm dreading that day just as I have this one, because I know that was your Favorite Holiday..It just isn't the same without you anymore Joe, and It never will be :( Everyday Life will never be the same either , everytime i hear a song, it reminds me of you and I cry, somedays i just sit and think about our life together, and all the special times we shared and I cry...I miss you so much Hon, 26 months and my heart is broken, never to be mended, I know they say it gets easier over time, But when?, when does it get easier? I'm still waiting for that day to arrive..I'm sitting here right now writing to you, and then I pause, and think back of when you were here with us, and tears run down my cheeks,you were always here for me through difficult times, and this is one of those times Hon but the difficulty i am having is because your not here and i have to deal with that without you. It's hard for me sometimes , but then i think to myself what would you do, and it makes thinks somewhat better. The Boys are doing very well, all three of them, I know today is one of those days they too dread, but we as a family are here for each other always and times like this we get through it, Jeff is doing very well with his New Job, Joey is doing very well with his New Life hon, it's for the better, he's much happier now and I get to see him and our grandaughter alot more, which makes me very happy..And Brandon is doing very well in school, he's so grown up Joe,you would be so proud of him and joey and jeffery also, although, we were always so proud of our boys , and always will be, we raised them well. We are going to My sisters house Today for Thanksgiving, and as we all sit around the table, you too will be there with Us Hon... just always remember, We will never forget you, your loved and missed so much by everyone, as for me that goes without saying, I will always love you, and missing you doesn't even begin to desccribe how i feel, but i try to be strong for all of us, becasue i know you would want that. I Love you Joe, I always Will, and I miss you more and more everyday... please continue to watch over me and the boys, And keep giving me the strenght to get through difficult times, such as today.
Forever In My Heart,
Love you & Miss you
Your BabyGirl,

In Loving Memory...2 Year Anniversary
Dear Joe,
Today Sept 27th is 2 years that you were taken from Us...How fast two years have gone by, But It seems like only yesterday, you were here with all of Us Smiling, and Joking, and Just being You...I miss that so much Hon, You always knew how to Brighten up everyones day, even if they were having a difficult day, You knew how to make them Smile..You had a very Possitive attitude and Outlook on Life,and even though it is difficult at times, more times than you can Imagine, I Too have learned to be the same way thanks to you. We are All pretty much doing Ok for the most part, Brandon started his Sophomore Year In HS, he loves it, he promised to continue to make us proud of him, and He is doing just that by doing very Good in School, Jeffery has started a New Job, same Industry, but he furthered his career, by going 2 steps ahead of what he was doing, the oppurtunity came along and he went for it, Very proud of Him, as I know you would be too. Joey is still doing very well in his Job also, he too is furthering his career, and He has Made a New Life for Himself, I wont go into details here , I will come talk to you about it at your grave, Just know that it was for the Better, He Is Much Happier and I see him and Our beautiful little Grandaughter Renzci more now than I ever Have, and I wouldn't have it any other way..Our 3 sons and Our Grandaughter are My Life Joe.. I love them all so much, as I know you do too. I give Our Sons the Best Advice I can, and I know today for them is a Reminder of what was 2 years ago, but they are dealing with it, probably better than I am. It's very hard for me Joe, I have My Good days and Bad, today is Not a Good Day...I'm sitting here crying My Eyes out because I miss you so Much, 2 years gone by, and My heart is still Broken..The Emptiness I feel, the Lonliness, will never go away, It saddens me so much that I have to grow Old without you. Never forget You are with me every minute of every hour of everyday that goes By...You will Always have that 'Special" place in My Heart. I love You Joe, and Miss you more and more everyday.
Forever Your Baby Girl

Happy Birthday Hon!!
Dear Joe,
I'm writing to you to wish you a Happy Birthday, I wish so much you were here with us celebrating your special day, instead of me writing here. I dreaded this day for the past 2 weeks because I knew it was coming Up...Miss you so much Joe, It's been tough, but i do manage to get thru the day, soon it will be 2 years that you were taken from Me/Us, and It hurts as Much as it did then as it does now, probably even more...I hate being alone, I hate not having you here with me, so much is going on Now Joe in My Life and Our childrens lives..alot of changes, I'm trying to deal with one Inparticular and it is very difficult for me. I try not to dwell on the negative and Look forward to the positive, but the more i think about my life and how I ended up without you by my side..It tears me apart :( Does it ever get any better? does the knife in my heart feeling ever go away? How can I possibly move on with my Life, when the Only man I ever Loved is gone...but truly never forgotten..Your with me every minute of every day, and that's how it will always be. I love you so much Joe,and Missing you?, that goes without saying, I feel such an emptiness inside, a void that would never, nor could ever be filled, I finaly realized that my lonliness will never subside, and That i really believe that when a person loses their Spouse, the other Dies from a broken Heart...My Heart is very Much Broken,more to the point totally destroyed,Please continue to give Me the Strength to go on. I love you Hon, and Miss you more and more everyday.
Happy Birthday Joe!
Forever in My Heart,
Always on My Mind
I LOVE YOU

Happy Fathers Day...
To My dearest Joe, The best Husband anyone could ever ask for.
No words I write could ever say, How much I miss you everyday. As time goes by, the Lonliness grows, How I miss you no one knows. I think of you in silence, I often speak your name..But all I have have are Memories, and Photos in a Frame. No one knows my sorry No one sees me weep, The Love that I have for you Is in my heart to keep. I've never stopped Loving you, I know I never will, Deep inside My Broken Heart,You are with me still. Heartaches in this world are many, But mine is so much worse than any. My Heart still aches, as I whisper Low, I need you here, How I miss you so. The things we feel so deeply are often the hardest to say, But I just can't keep quiet, so I'll tell you anyway. There is a Special place in My Heart, that No one else can Fill...I love you so much Hon, And I always will.
I know your watching over Us all the time, I can feel you with me, when I need you the most...thank you so much for giving me your strength hon, without it I don't know what I would do...You will never know how much your loved and missed.
Forever in My Heart, Always on my Mind,
I love you Hon,
Your Baby Girl xoxoxo

My Dearest Joe,This message should of been written Yesterday, but it was very difficult for me to do, Yesterday was not only 19 months that you were taken from Us, but it was also Our 36th wedding Anniversary..this is the 2nd year I've dreaded this day because you are not here with me,I really thought it would be a little easier as time went by to be able to cope, but it really isn't any better than the day I watched you slip away from our lives..Will it ever get any better? will I ever get over this feeling of Having my Heart destroyed? You were the One I always turned to for Comfort when I needed it, you were always there for me hon..Now I have No One.. Yes Our three Boys are here for me and I love them dearly, but its just not the same, You were their Father, but YOU were MY Husband, big difference. Everyone tells me I need to move on and be happy because thats what you would of wanted, and I know in My heart thats true, but I dont want to be made to feel guilty, and sometimes thats how I feel. You are the Only man I have ever Loved hon, No one could ever replace what we had, we shared a very special and Unique relationship and I will cherish those memories forever, but I'm always sad, always lonely, and I don't know what to do with Myself. Even after 19 months I still try to be strong, but then i stop and think of that dreadful day and I fall apart. The kids think I'm doing ok..little do they know I'm dying inside of a lonely broken Heart. I miss you so much hon, we all do, but I need to be alot stronger and try to bring some sanity to my life, I need to be Happy, I need to Smile again, not everyone is as accepting as you and I are, and its very difficult for me to move forward. You will always have a special place in my heart Joe,and I will always Love you no matter what the future Holds. You're on my mind every minute of every day, everything around me reminds me of You, especially the kids, they all remind me of certain things about you.. things they say, things they do, their mannerisms, Everything is You.. we raised 3 wonderful kids hon, very repectful, well mannered,And Very Successful.I know you are as proud of them as I am. Brandon is almost done with his freshman year in High School. I can't believe how fast it went by, Our Little guy is Growing up so fast Joe, I shouldn't say little he's over 6ft tall and he's not even 16 yet, and he's doing very good in school like he promised you he would. Never forget that you we will always love you, and we will never forget all the wonderful memories we have of you, forever you shall remain in our hearts.
Happy Anniversary Hon!
Love Always,
Your Baby Girl

Hi Hon..I know i haven't written to you since Xmas, but today is one of those days that your on my mind more than the usual every minute of every hour of every day since god took you from Us...This is very hard for me Joe, time has not healed anything..My heart is still shattered, and your not here to pick up the pieces..I miss you so much hon..what can I say that hasnt already been said a hundred times over?My life will never be the same without you.The boys are doing good..Joey and Jeff working hard Like you always did, and Brandon is doing good in school like he promised you he would, he's so grown up hon, you wouldn't believe how tall he is now. I look like a little half pint standing next to him, And you would be proud of him as you are of Joey and Jeff,, We raised 3 wonderful sons hon. They all remind me so much of you in their own way..their mannerisms, the way they talk about anything and everything like you did, the jokes and the laughter they bring are so you...Brandon is Just like you, and he sounds exactly like you also. sometimes when I hear him talking I think its you, then reality hits and I know that it's impossible, but I do know your watching over us..I feel you with me all the time, giving me the strength to go on..the boys do too, they dont have to look for signs, they just know..Everyone in my family has told me about different dreams they have been having of you..they know it and I know that your still with us in our everyday life and you always will be.The snow has finally melted, so i will be taking all the xmas decorations off your grave and also the tree I decorated, so i can decorate your grave for Valentines day. the windchimes will stay as always...thats how I know your around me when I visit your grave I can hear them and the wind isn't blowing...I know its you, Joey told me the last time he visited you he was standing at your grave and he could hear the windchimes and the xmas decoration on the tree clanging , and there was no wind at all..not even a gentle breeze but he knew it was you.Just always know hon that we all love and miss you so much,your a constant reminder of the wonderful Life we shared, and I will never forget the love you had given me for so many years. Please give your mom and dad my Love and all My family members too. Miss You Alot hon.

My Dearest Joe, I wanted to wish you a Merry Xmas, And I know its the Day After, but the truth is hon, I just couldn't do it...I know all to well how Important Xmas Eve and Xmas Day were to You, Your favorite Holiday, and You not being here with us made me very Sad, This was our second Xmas without You, and I still feel a huge void in My Life, and I know I always will. Xmas Morning I drove To your gravesite to tell you how much I love and Miss You, and I cleared the snow off your gravestone...I was up to my knees in snow , but I didn't care I had to be there for you...It is still very difficult for me Joe to deal with this, One day I am ok, the next I am so sad, even decorating our tree this year, just wasnt the same...you always use to tease me how many decorations I used..I decorated the whole house in your memory,,Xmas Eve we weent To Joey's House, as ususal I spoiled our grandaughter and bought here a bunch of stuff she wanted...I also bought her a Christmas Whispers from Heaven Teddy Bear, it has your picture inside the book. the bear is holding and a beautiful poem written almost as if you are talking right to her, so when she thinks about you and how much she loves and misses you , she can hold the teddy bear close to her heart. Xmas Day I had Everyone here, I needed to be with My whole family Hon, of course it wasn't the same without you, It never will be , but the memories we have of all the past Xmas's, will always remain in our hearts. You are truly Loved and Missed hon, more than you will ever know...Merry Xmas Hon

My Dearest Joe,
The Holidays are upon us Once again, and the pain of you not being here is still with us..This will be our second Thanksgiving without you. I'm still trying to be strong for the Kids, but in reality they are alot stronger than me...We all love and miss you so much hon, Our life just isn't the same...I know it's been over a year since you passed away, but Everyday I still cry asking God why he took you from me and the kids. My life is so Empty without you..I have this huge hole in my heart that can never be mended, I just Love you and miss you so much Joe. This weekend I will be decorating your grave for Xmas , Another dreaded Holiday without you, We made it thru the first Thanksgiving and Xmas, it was very hard for All of us but we managed..To be honest, This year to me I feel even worse, and it's because it has finally hit me, after all this time has gone by, I finally realized you are never coming back to us...I had accepted the fact that you had died, that took awhile also but up until now I couldn't and didn't want to accept the fact that you wouldnt be returning and now that I have. The pain and suffering I feel without you will always be with me. It doesn't get any better Hon...My heart has been completely shattered...The boys are doing good hon...Brandon loves High School, I thought it might be hard for him to get use to being his first year and all , but he's just like you hon, Strong willed, he's like an adult at 15 he's grown up alot this past year and I am so proud of him as I know you would be too...I'm proud of all 3 of our Sons Joe we raised them well, Renzci is getting so big now too ..shes our little princess hon..I still give her money, when i see her and tell her its from papa..I know she misses you too. shes such a sweetheart, heidi and joey are doing good, I couldnt of asked for a better daughter-in-law- shes not only a wonderful daughter-in-law shes a very good wife to joey and a fantastic mother to Renzci. she's the daughter we never had. Jeffrey is also doing very well for himself , he too is just like you joe...doesn't procrastinate, gets whatever has to be done, finished, works very hard as does Joey..I'm very proud of them too Joe. as i know you always have been, You taught them well. This year again for thanksgiving I will be giving thanks to the Wondeful Life You and I shared for 34 years. Our 3 boys who I know you loved very much, They Love You and miss you so much too, but just always know that you are in every conversation we all have , no matter where we are or what we are doing,You are with us and always will be. I love you and miss you more and more everyday Joe... Please Help keep me strong for the kids, they don't need to have me fall apart on them...
Forever In My Heart,
Always On My Mind
All my Love,
Your Baby Girl

Hi Dad,
Well today it has been exactly one year since you have left us. I cant believe how time flew by. Things have changed alot in the past year. I started a new business. Brandon started High School. Joey is working harder at work and school and Mommy is doing her thing. But the sad part is you are not here to advise us on things. All we can do is just remember what you taught us. I still cant believe I didnt catch it. I pick up on everything but I couldnt tell you were sick. But like mommy said would have it changed anything. Only god can answer that one. They say everything happens for a reason I guess Im still waiting to see the resoning you passed away. So we made it thru one year and we all dealt with it in different ways. Now we just have to make it thru many more. I just ask that you watch over us and protect us from any evil. I have alot on my plate with the family, my business and my own personal life but I can handle it. Im just as strong as you but any help you can send down would be ok :) I love you dad and miss you everyday. Talk to you soon.....

September 27th, One Year Ago Today.............
My Dearest Joe, One Year Ago Today God Saw Fit To Bring You Home with him to live in Eternal Peace...He Knew How Sick you were and How Much You Suffered, And ever Since That Day, Our Family Has Never Been The Same...You are Loved and Missed so Much Hon, I can't believe It's already A year you have been gone from our lIves...The pain of Losing you is still with us All ...I dread getting out of Bed everyday Because I know you wont be there.. I'm still having a difficult time accepting all of this, No One truly knows How this is killing me inside....But I know I must be strong for the Kids and Myself,. and try to keep some sort of balance in My Life...Everyday I ask myself why, Why you...I often blame myself for all of this ...I should've seen it, I should of realized something wasn't right, and when i finally did it was to late, You were good at keeping things from us Joe...God Only knows how Long you were sick and if You yourself knew that that you were, and kept it from us...You always worried about everyone else Hon, but never about yourself, would it had made a difference had you known and told Us...would we of been able to help you sooner? thats something that we will never know , but it upsets me so much to think that if you did know why didnt you seek help sooner...This is very difficult for me Joe....You were My whole world and now all i have left is precious memories..Why did you have to go and die on us Joe....It hurts so much to know that you wont ever be here with us for the holidays, birthdays, anniversarys just everyday Life, but we keep your memory alive in everything we do ...Just always know hon that you will forever hold a special place in our hearts and that you are Loved and truly missed more than you know.
I awake every morning with thoughts of you,
smiling inwardly at the things you use to do
Feeling thankful for all that we shared,
Missing you deeply, wishing you were here
I can't help but ask within my soul,
what had i done to deserve such a Love
How was i chosen for a bond such as this
A warm tender love with a magnificent kiss
A Love that enthrawled me the way it was done
a love with whom I was totally One
A Love that unleashed so many feelings in Me
with so very little effort set me totally free
A love that took me to heights I'd not known
A Love that I could call my very own
A Love that could console me when my world fell apart
and mend every piece of a torn apart heart
A love who's smile brought joy to my Life
whose melodious voice sent chills up my spine
A Love who's arms made me feel so secure
could take away tensions, and calm every fear
a love who stuck by me through thick and thin
And one I will love forever, My love has no end
In A Lovely Song, Or the Murmer Of a breeze,
A Sweet blossoms fragrance, drifting from the trees
I Still see your smile, I canl feel your Care
wherever there is laughter, I can hear you there
Morning to Evening, Day after Day
Sweet memories of you, In my mind still play
The joy we shared has turned to pain
But someday we'll be together again
And Love will sustain me, while we are apart
For you Live right here....Within My heart
All My Love,
Forever Your BabyGirl
I Love You and Miss You

It is already almost eleven months since you have passed. I cant believe how quickly it goes by. There is so many things that I want to tell you thats been going on but it just isnt the same when I talk to you at your grave. But I know your watching. I see the signs everyday from you when I have to make decisions. The loss of you has not subsided yet it actually hasnt gotten sadder. Probably because its goes by so fast. Well dad keep watching over us I know your always around. HAPPY BIRTHDAY...LOVE YOU

Wishing You A Happy Birthday....
My Dearest Joe....Happy Birthday Hon...One Year Ago Today We Celebrated
Your Birthday At The Hospital.And As Sick As You Were, You Managed To Get Through It.A Year Later I'm Writing
Happy Birthday To You Here. It Breaks My Heart That Your Not Here With Us To
Celebrate With You. We All Miss & Love You So Much Hon. Our Lives Will Never Be The Same. It Isn't Getting Any Easier For Me Joe, If Anything,It's Worse. I Want So Much To Smile Again, And I Can't Do That Without You Here By My Side. My Heart Is So Sad And Lonely Hon, And I'm Trying So Hard To Be Strong Around The Boys. But When I'm Alone I Just Sit And Cry. This Void In My Life, The Emptiness In My Heart, Just Hurts So Much. It's Almost Eleven Months Since You Were Taken From Us..And I Still Can't Let Go Of The Fact, That You're Gone From Our Lives And Not Coming Back, Everything
Around Us Reminds Me So Much Of You, When I feel Your Presense Around
Me..Those Are My Good Days...When I Don't, Those Are The Days I feel So All Alone And Just Sit And Cry. You Will Forever Be In My Heart Hon. I will Never Forget You, Or The Love, Life And Happiness That We Shared. 34 Years Of Pure Bliss. I Love You Hon, And I Always Will.
Dear God....
Send him a message,
Let him know of my
continued love.
Let the wind carry
my heart to him above.
Assure him that our
bond will ever be strong.
And that my heart will
forever, sing his song.
Tell him I miss him,
but that I've placed
our love in your trust.
Let him know we'll meet
again for my soul knows
we must.
Remind him that our
parting is only temporary,
And that my love for him
will never grow weary.
Forever In My Heart,
Always On My Mind
Love You And Miss You

Dear Joe,
Tenth Months ago today God saw fit
to bring you to him, and all that I wanted to tell you, I wasn't able to do, I wanted to write in the hope that somewhere, sometime, you could read all that I should have told you while we were together.The light of my day dims because your not around. My nights are filled with a haunting echo of your wonderful presence. A shudder of cold fear leaps through me, I try hard to get up in the morning, thinking of ten reasons to keep going.You were everything to me. You filled my day with a purpose I had never had before. You gave my life meaning, and in your uncanny and fantastic way, you made me feel that life was just you and me.When you entered a room, it was as if the
world stopped. Everyone else just disappeared. My heart missed several beats, I became breathless and overcome. When you spoke, your calm words made so much sense and they brought joy to me and those around us.My Life is very different now that you are gone. Nothing is, as nothing was, the same. My Sweet precious Joe, I wish so much that you were here with me, here with us. The Kids miss you so much. I miss you so much. we Reminise about all the wonderful times we had when you were here, we talk about you in the present , not the past as if you were still with us. You'll always be in Our Hearts, and You will never be forgotten,,,You truly were an amazing man..The past ten months have been very hard for me, Unless you go through it, No One can ever understand How much I'm hurting..to have My whole life destroyed and Our dreams shattered. we were suppose to grow old together hon, Now i will have to do that by myself. I often wonder, What is it like where you are Hon? Are the trees and flowers in Bloom? Do you have peace and quiet? Can you see when i cry , when i cry so hard i can't breathe because your gone? Do you know how much pain i feel, because your no longer here with me...My heart is broken hon..and it can never be mended.
Forever In My Heart, Always
On My Mind. I Miss You So Much
Forever Your Baby Girl
I Love You xoxoxoxoxo

my special day with me.
Although, It isn't special
Anymore :( I miss you so

of losing you go away?? when
will I smile again? You always
knew how to make me Smile,
and I miss that so much. I
will always hold the fondest
memories of our life together
in my Heart, It is something I
think about everday, I always
wonder what If? what if you
weren't gone from ou lives.
What if you Never got sick?
I question it all the time hon,
Why didn't we realize something
was wrong long before it was to
late. It tears me apart wondering
If i could of done more to make
your life on earth last longer.
My Heart is Broken, and Nothing
will ever Heal it. I do everything
I Can to keep your memory Alive,
I just wish I had One more day
to tell you how Much I Love you.

Hi Dad,
This is my third attempt to post something. hopefully it goes thru. It has been almost 9 months since you have passed and the other day was fathers day. It is crazy how times flies by. It makes me think of a specific fathers day. It was 15 years ago and we were at a karate tournament. I was fighting a kid bigger than me. I remember you yelling from the stands come on Jeff you can beat him you can win. And you know what I beat him. It was because you made us so strong to take on anything. And 15 years later im even stronger so I say why not take on even bigger things. Sometimes I wish I could call you and tell you about my day like I used to. In my phone it stull says DAD next to your number. I just dont want to change it. Every one is doing ok but I know some days we could be doing better. Well Happy Father Day I can only hope someday to be the father that you were to all of us. I miss you dad and love you. Talk to you soon.....

Dear Joe......
Today is Fathers Day, A Day that
Our 3 sons will miss you very much.
I just want to let you know that
they love and admire you for being such a loving caring dad to them for all those years.They always looked up to you for strength and guidance, and you were always there for them when they needed you most.Joey & Jeffrey are very successful in their Jobs..They learned an awful lot from you hon. Brandon, isn't old enough for a job yet, but he soon will be and I know he will be just as successful as his brothers as he gets older , It is something you instilled in them growing up and it is something they will never forget. Brandon is starting high school in Sept, How I wish you were still here with us, You would be so proud of him Joe, He is a very good student, He gets good grades, and he is Just an all around good Kid.They all are hon, we raised them well..Not only were you a "Special" Dad to them but you were also a very "Special" Husband to Me,
I will never forget you..I miss you so much Joe, In a week it will be 9 months since you passed away and I am still trying to deal with losing you in my own way.. I'm not doing a very good job :( This pain Of Losing you will never go away, I know that in my heart and I will someday have to accept it, but for now i am not able to. It just hurts so much. We still visit your Grave everday hon, and will continue to do so. It is so beautiful up there now, Everything is in bloom.. And its so peaceful and Serene there, that's why I always come to talk to you, and tell you my feelings and tell you about Our life as it is now in general. It is certainly not the same, Nor will it ever be. Give me the strength to be strong for our boys hon. I need it more than ever.Somedays I think I can handle life without you, other days I just breakdown and cry, and realize your not coming back ever again. I don't know how long it will take me to accept the fact that your gone..But everyday that goes by, doesn't feel Any better...I try to pretend I'm ok, but in reality I'm not. I'm Just so sad and lonely with out you hon. You will always hold a special place in my heart forever and I will always love you, don't ever forget that...The boys Love and miss you as much as I do...They are handling it a little better than me, or at least I think they are, They don't say to much..we all grieve in our own way... To You Joe..A loving caring Husband and Father, who was always there for me and our boys...The Best dad any child could ever ask for and the best husband I found when I found you. Happy Fathers Day Hon, I Miss you more and more Everyday.
Joe you were my entire world,
And I miss you so very much.
I wish I could feel your
loveable cuddle, And your soft
and gentle touch.
But for now I have to wait,
Until we meet again, You will
always be in my heart and thoughts,
My dear Husband and best friend.
Always and Forever,
Our hearts will always
touch. Always and Forever,
Your Baby Girl loves you
so much.
With Sadness & Much Love...

My Beautiful Memory....
The darkness was beginning to overtake me, sadness was all around like shadows on the wall, reminding me of childhood fears, When your face appeared within the doorway.
Your love and energy was the saving grace that always brought me from sadness to hopefulness. Your love
was unconditional, and your warmth
was ever reaching.
You are My beautiful memory, one that carries me through those dark nights, and brings me safely home. You have always touched the light within my soul.
This time you came to me with a message, it was filled with loving encouragement. You know my inner secrets, You know my weaknesses and strengths,
Never did you dwell on the negative, Always filling me with memories of beauty, powerfully supportive, and
gloriously generous. Your presence in my life was fulfilling.
I cling to those beautiful memories, We were always so strong together, and now I am living without you. You are, and always will be a beautiful memory within my soul.
My Dearest Joe....
It is coming up on 8 months since you passed away, and I am missing you and loving you more and more each day.
I am so lonely without you here hon :(
I try to keep busy, but my thoughts always revolve around you. Thank god for our kids and family or I don't know what i would do. They all Love and miss you very much too. It just isn't the same without you here with us Joe, And it never will be.. I just want you to know how much I think about you all the time, I know you are here watching over us, I still visit your grave everyday. I have to, It's just something I need to do, so I can be a little closer to you, And tell you my thoughts and feelings. The headstone is Beautiful Joe, I know you would love it, because you know how fussy I am , And I have to have everything perfect. I miss you terribly hon, You will forever be in my heart.
All My Love,
Always & Forever
Your Baby Girl xoxoxox
Happy 35th Anniversary Hon
Jeanie Cairo
April 25, 2009
My Dearest Joe,
Seven months ago Today you were taken from us, And My shattered Heart is not getting any better,The Pain of losing you is still with me so much, I have such a Void in My Life, I feel so Empty inside..I have dreaded this day more than anything because your not with me to celebrate this special day, Not Only is it 7 Months that you passed away, it is Also our 35th Weddding Anniversary, And you not being here with me..is tearing me apart :( but i want you to know that i am so thankful for the years we were together and raised 3 wonderful boys that i know you are so proud of as am I. I will never forget the day you asked me to marry you, i was still in high school when we got engaged, and it was a time in my life that i knew in my heart of hearts that Our life together would be wonderful. I remember Our Wedding day like it was yesterday, It was so beautiful and So perfect ..As i write to you. I'm sitting here wiping the tears from my eyes, I miss you so much Hon and i will always Love you...This is the worst thing in My life that i have ever had to deal with, Losing a loved one, Especially a Spouse, it's so hard to comprehend, at least for me. Never in my Life did i expect to lose you at such a young age. I keep asking myself Why? Why You? the only man i ever loved is gone from my Life, And as Much as I know our boys and family are here for me...My Life will never be the same. This is very very difficult for me Joe, no one knows how much i am hurting inside. I cry a lot when i am by myself, but when i am around our family and our friends, we always talk about you, your always in every conversation, And it makes me feel a little better, We reminise about the past and all the fun times we shared...It will be the little things that I will remember, the quiet moments, the Love, the laughter.And although it is Difficult right now, it will be the memories of these little things that i hope help to push away the pain and bring the smiles back again.The Love of My Life, that's what you are to me. Years ago when we met, I fell in love with you .Nothing has changed even now that your not with us, I love you still...more than ever. I Know you're not near me, and I feel such an emptiness, that I can't seem to fill. I cherished your love and companionship and always hoped to please you. I always wished nothing but happiness for you, And just to see the sparkle in your eyes, I never imagined that someone could be as important as you were to me. and loved me as I loved you. You were the best, Most dearest thing to ever come into my life Like an angel from out of the sky. And I know now, one things for sure: Now You truly are an Angel, and Looking down on us from Heaven watching over us. Every year that i was with you was better than the year before; It was hard for me to imagine, How I could love you more. Every year that you've graced my life Has been full of happiness. I loved your caring face, your voice,
Your tender and sweet caress. 35 five years ago, my dearest Joe You made my world complete. You became my perfect partner in life, We've worked hard and made us a home That filled Us with pleasure and pride, And it's all because of the wonderful man Who has lived through the years,Always by my side. Thank you my Love and cherished Husband, You made all my dreams come true. Your loving and caring made our marriage A blissful adventure for two! Our wedding anniversary brings to mind The happiness and joy you’ve brought to me all these years, Sweet memories-the laughter and the tears, Such Devoted love you gave abundantly. Of all the people in this world, you're the one I always ran to for comfort and guidance. Your name had been inscribed in my heart before I even knew you. The moment we met all those years ago, I knew you were the one. I whisper your name each morning when I wake, and each night to the stars. Thank You for being there when I needed a shoulder to lean on, for patiently listening to my personal problems. I just want you to know how happy I was to have you in my life and I thank God for that. Thank you for all the love and the joy you brought to our family. You taught me how to handle life seriously, you taught me how to solve my problems and to face it without any fear...when I was with you, I felt no fear, I am who I am today because of you, and there is no one else I would ever want to be. You have taught me so much about this world, and even through the times when darkness covered my world, you were always my bright shining light. I will love you for the rest of my life, You have given me so much within the last 35 years You have been my guiding light when I was lost. You have been my comforter through all my trials and sorrow. And you have been my rock. I love you more than words could ever express. From the moment I saw you I knew you were the one. Although I was only a young girl you taught me how to express myself as a true woman. You taught me everything I know about loving someone. You molded me into something rare and beautiful. Now that 35 years was upon us, our love had only grown more and more. Everyone looked at our relationship and knew how special it was because we were a true example of pure love. I don't think I have ever told you how I felt the first time we met. I knew then ,what love at first sight felt like; our eyes met and there was a connection, like a bond I felt uniting our heart. I have been in love with you sincce then, and always will be, though you're far away from me now . You will always be my first and greatest love. and You will always live in my memory for all eternity. It is just so hard to be away from you. I am usually okay, but at times like this (especially today) Our 35th Aniversary, it just becomes too much to bear. I can not sleep most nights because i am always thinking of you . I carry you with me through all my days and I miss you more than I can say. It has been seven long months since you passed, but I still remember everything. I miss your kiss and the way you made me feel so safe. I never thought we would ever be apart, I just want to hear your voice. I miss the way you could hold me so tight. The way I feel for you doesn't go away. I thought after you passed away the pain of losing you would fade away a little at a time, but still everyday I wake up dreaming of our time together. I will never forget you. I hope you still think of me too. I love you with all that I am, all that I was and all that I will ever be. when i come to visit you, Remember how I always tell you, I have a million thoughts going through my head at every second of every day? Well, you are always my main thought and every other thought in my head revolves around you. I think of "our" life together 35 years, every second of every day. I can't honestly tell you where I'd be right now if I didn't have you. Since the day I met you, I've been so happy. You were my world, you consumed my every thought, word and whisper. You're there, And you're here and always will be. I will never let you go. I've never felt a hurt like this where it feels as though someone had stuck a knife through my heart. I can barely breathe from crying so much knowing that I can't hold you, hug you, and kiss you. The fact that you are not within a distance to me that I can easily reach, hurts so much. I've missed you so badly joe. the moment you passed. I choked on trying to hold back the tears and could not manage to breathe. I do not know how I am going to live without you here to hold me. I love you so much that neither words nor actions could express my feelings for you. I could spend the rest of my life describing how much I love you and it still would not come close to the way I really feel. I finally recognized the heavy feeling of dread. This feeling became more embedded as time went on, , the sensation increasingly became more intense. And my worst fears, my fear of losing you, had become a reality. And it hurts, tears constantly blur my vision. I do not know how to handle this pain - this "knife in the heart" feeling of loss. Without you I feel alone . I feel helpless. The fears that I now have is that I will forget the little things, though I pray I never will. The little things that I loved so much about you, Now I know why we are here. I know why we live. It's because once you find someone you love and care for so dearly, where you would give up anything and everything for them, you found purpose in your life that makes it worth living. You were my purpose and I do not know what to do without you. How a few months could change a life! I continue to cry, and I will continue for a long time, and when my eyes cease to produce more tears, my heart will continue to cry for you every day, forever, because I will think of you every day, every hour, every second within a minute. I do not think I could prevent that if I wanted to. I cannot stop my heart from crying , It crys because of the pain I feel from losing you. But, I know that I will never really lose you because you will always be in my heart, but that does not stop me from missing you. And feeling desperate with the need to hug and kiss you and be in your arms. . You will always have a permanent place in my heart. I will never forget you, How could I? I needed you more than anything. You were my life support. I will always be happy for the time I had with you. I will treasure each moment in my heart and be thankful for the precious times we had together. I love you so much, so very much and I always will. Please do not forget that. It is important to me that you never forget that. I miss you so much. And I know that it is only going to get worse with time, not better. I do not know if my heart will ever heal. It has been shattered too badly. I can never repay the feelings you gave me with your love or the happiness you brought me, but I can, and will, love you with all my heart forever. All These words have not been written down in any particular order so it might be hard for you to understand what I am trying to say, but know this, without you, I feel hollow and unfinished. I still needed you here with me hon, You completed me.
Today's a very special day
Reserved for just us two
This comes with deepest
fondest love From your
wife and best friend too
Happy Anniversary Hon,
I love and miss you,
more an more everyday
Love Always,

Hi Dad,
Its been about six months or so since you have passed and today is Easter. We will be having all your favorite foods but my favorite was having us all together and you will not be here unfortunetly. I still visit you for me to tell you about whats going on and I see the signs to tell me what I should do. Its funny everytime I talk or do something or make a decision it is proven that I am my fathers son. We are all doing good. We are all closer now that you have left us and we will continue to be. You would be proud of mommy. Even though she is grieving she is stronger now. I ask that you continue to watch over us as we continue on with our lifes. I myself have become more spiritual and becoming stronger as I take on my new endevors. You will never be forgotten and will be remembered as you have lived. I love you dad, Happy Easter....

Easter in Heaven....
Dear Joe,
Tommorrow is Easter, Another Holiday without you, The family will be here with me and the kids, but again it wont be the same with you not being here. We miss you so much Hon, It's Just so hard for us. Joey, Heidi & Laurenzcia came today...I made her a Huge Easter Basket like I do every Year, And i also gave her an Easter card with Money in it from you. I brought your Baskets To Your Grave today filled with a beautiful arrangement of Flowers Just for you.Of course I went overboard again...I think your grave is the Most decorated, but i want it to be special, as it should be...Your headstone arrived the other day, they will be putting it in about a week from now. It's beautiful hon, I designed it the way i knew you would like it and well for me too when its my time...It's not like any of the others around you, I wanted it different, and they did a beautiful job on it..the Inscription on it is something I wanted special and they did it for me. I wanted to write to YOU here to wish you a Happy Easter Hon, I know your looking down on us and watch over us everyday....I know this because even at my weakest moment when I need you the most , I can feel you here with me giving me courage and strength to go on. I love you will all my heart Hon. Don't ever forget that. This is Just A little Something for you For Easter In Heaven.
Dear Mr Easter Bunny,
I just had to write today...
To see if you stop in Heaven...
As you hop along your way?
You see, a part of me is up there,
That I miss with all my heart...
You see, my Husband lost his battle
With a disease that tore our lives apart.
So, I wanted to know if you
go there??? And if I could ask a favor of you? Can you take Him a basket to heaven? Filled with colored eggs and lots of Love Too.
And could you please add a green egg for me? They says green means new life and rest, For my husband is now resting in heaven, No more pain and no more tests.
And could you also add an orange egg for me? Orange for the color of a candles flame, For my husbands light will always shine, Although our lives will never be the same.
And could you add an egg so blue?
For blue is the color of a cloudless sky, And when I see the Birds flying over me, I'll know its a sign from
him way up high.
And we cant forget a yellow egg too...
For yellow is the color of the rising sun, And my Husbands love will shine down on me, For all my days and nights to come.
And we also need a rainbow colored egg...For the rainbow way up high in the sky,For I know he will always live within me, And his spirit will never die.
And last but not least a red egg
if you could? For we all know red
means the color of love, And I love my Husband so much...Please send my love to Him above.
Thank you Mr Easter Bunny, I really appreciate your time today, And I will say a prayer for you too As you hop to Heaven for me on Easter day.
When you take his basket up to the Heavens, Can you please whisper in his ear? And wish him the happiest Easter From me and the Kids,For we miss him being here.
Happy Easter Joe,
I Love and Miss you
More & More everyday
Love You Forever,
Your Baby Girl xoxox

Dear Joe,
Today is the 6th month Anniversary Of your passing. Things haven't been any better for me, I am still Not able to deal with losing you, It's very difficult... Yes I do Have Good Days, but they are Only Followed By Bad days..Everytime I look at your pictures, I cry....Everytime I see or hear something that reminds me of you, I Cry. Life as it was just isn't the same. I try so hard to be strong hon. but its not easy. I wish so much that you were here with us. I loved you so deeply, I loved you so much, the sound of your voice,and the way that we touched, I loved your warm smile, And your kind, thoughtful ways,The joy that you brought To my life everyday, I love you today, As I have from the start,And I'll love you forever,With all of my heart. And if all were brought together So that we, could compare The brightest gem could not outshine The true love that we shared. You know how much I love you, And i'm sure you must know too, That the happiest moments in my Life, were those I spent with you. For when We were Together, And now that we're apart, You're always first in my thoughts, And forever in my heart. Thank you for all The countless, caring ways You've filled my life with love.
I Love You So Much Hon,

Dear Joe,
Today is 5 months since God took you from Us...what can i say that hasn't already been said...I Love You, I Miss You, I thought In time I would not feel so much pain and be able to Live My Life Remembering How special you were and Keep your memories Alive, well i am doing that ..but the Pain is still there, it hasn't subsided at all, and I'm afraid it never will hon...somedays its just to unbearable...I cry so much, wishing you were still here with me/us...when i visit your grave everyday...I talk to you, and even though you can't answer me, I know you know, how much we All love and Miss you..I can't believe its already 5 months...It seems like only yesterday that you were here with Us, No pain, No sickness, just all of us as a family spending time together, and when i think back to the time you had to go to the hospital and all you went through, and how much you suffered..I know now, in my heart of hearts you spared us from you already knowing how sick you really were. It happened to fast Joe, I Know You kept it from us until it was to late. and then we tried to help you as best we could...the best doctors, the best of everything you needed but sadly it wasn't meant to be :( You were always the strong one in our family. I drew my strength from you, Now I need you more than ever, to help me with all of this, help me be strong for our boys. Everyday I wake Up, and I still feel like your suppose to be here and we'd have our coffee and our heart to heart talks before you went off to work..I miss that so much hon..I miss everthing about you, but i keep you deep inside my heart and it does help a little to get me through the day. When I look up at the sky at night, I always notice a single star, A Star shining so bright, I know it could only be you. I stare at you for a while hoping for a reason, Then realize at that very moment that your Not gone at all, In fact you are and always will be alive in our hearts and memories, Your love is strong Joe, So strong in fact that it burns a hole in the fog, Just so that the light of you can keep us warm and protected at night. Though night shall fade and day shall come, I know that you will not have abandoned me, For you are now my shadow that guides and protects my day, I know now that I shall never walk alone again, For you will always be there holding my hand. One would not think to ever hurt me, For they will see my Husband at my side, And know that a man of great stature and power protects me. I will sleep easy tonight, Knowing that you are there beside me. When I feel that extra bit of warmth and security at night, I know it is but your arms wrapped around me. I am Never Alone, And You Are Never Forgotten.
You will always be My one True Love, You shall forever remain In My Heart and in the hearts of Those who also Love You.
My Dearest Joe,
Forever & Always You shall remain
A Part Of Me, as I know I shall remain A Part Of you..The "Special" Love we shared will stay with me forever, And Never forget how Much you are Loved and Missed By Your Family.
Forever In My Heart,
Always On My Mind
Much Love XOXOX

Dear Joe,
It's 5:30am. and I am sitting here writing to you, I haven't been To bed yet...It's One of Those times, That my heart is aching. This is very difficult for me..I'm really having a hard time with this, you being gone from our lives...As I look back on all that's happened..growing up, growing together, changing you, changing me, there were times when we dreamed together, when we laughed and cried together. And As I look back on those days, I realize how much I truly miss you and how much I truly love you. The past may be gone , But our yesterdays make the memories of my tomorrows. So, it is with all my heart that I send you my love, hoping that you'll always carry my smile with you, for all we have meant to each other and for whatever the future may hold.”I miss you when something really good happens, because you were the one I wanted to share it with. I miss you when something is troubling me, because you were the one who understood me so well. I miss you when I laugh and cry because i know that you were the one that made my laughter grow, and my tears disappear. I miss you all the time, but I miss you most when i lay awake at night and think of all the wonderful times we spent with each other, for those were the best times of my life. I've learned that last good-byes will always hurt, pictures will never replace having you here, memories good and bad will always bring tears, and words can never replace Ones feelings. There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. They are messengers of overwhelming grief...and unspeakable love.”You learn to like someone when you find out what makes them laugh, but you can never truly love someone until you find out what makes them cry. And what makes me Cry is Remembering the day God called you Home...In the morning when I wake up And I open up my eyes, I feel an aching in my heart That's when I realize. How much I really miss you, And long to have you near. My heart is filled with sadness, And my eyes are filled with tears. At different times throughout the day, I find I'm missing you. And I wonder if, perhaps a bit, Maybe you miss me too. I miss you in the morning When I'm here all alone. And when I think I hear your voice, I listen by the phone I can't help it that I feel this way. I think by now it's safe to say, That I miss you very much, And my Life will never be the same , without your Warm & gentle Loving touch. Never forget how much we all Love and Miss you Hon...and please watch over us and give me the strenght to be strong for our boys...I try not to let them see me crying, thats why i can't sleep at night, I'm still not comprehending all of this, It's almost 5 months since you passed and It still feels like a dream..I can still picture you in my mind the Night that God took you from us..and im
crushed...It's 6:00am now...i'm exhausted...I'm going to try and get some sleep..G'night Hon!
I love You Joe,
Sadly Missed 4-Ever

Dear Papa,
Thank you for my Valentine's gift. I love you and I'm blowing you kisses up to heaven. I see your picture everyday and me and my mom say a prayer for you almost every night. Sometimes I forget, not because I forget you Papa, but because my little eyes close before I can fold my little hands to pray. In that case, my mom says my prayers. Nanny is having a special birthday party for me this year and it won't be the same without you. I know that you are with me all of the time, so it's OK. I hear my mom ask for your help when she can't find something or if she's aggrovated and needs your special help. I think it works! I love you Papa. happy Valentine's Day.
Love,
Renzci

To My ~Forever Valentine~
My Dearest Joe, Feb 14th, Valentines Day, a day in which I wanted To Say Happy Valentines Day To You, Although it won't be A very Happy One For Me :( This is the first time in 38 years I will be without you, As i think back of all the Special Valentines we spent together , it reminds me of the special love we had for each other. The love we shared was more than ordinary love. We did things for each other that made our love so much fun. Giving to you, and making you happy, always made me feel happy, too. You were truly a wonderful man. You had such a loving and gentle heart, I treasured our openness and our heart-to-heart talks, They were Always so special to me. I had shared with you all that I truly am, I had given you my truest feelings, and Above all, I cherished Us, knowing that you were a part of me and I was a part of you. I was very fortunate to have you in my life. You are the one person I will never forget, the man I shared special times with, and the man I will love forever. You always worked so hard Joe, never taking time out for yourself.. You didn't realize how much you were appreciated, or how much you always gave of yourself to others. what a wonderful husband you were to me, and what a perfect father you were to our children. I am thankful for the way you were, as I realize it is the only way you could be. I want you to know that I respected you so much and I thank you for being the best man in the world in every way. You and I took a special chance the first time we met. We were both so young, but we knew enough of love, and life, to understand that there was something between us from the beginning, a unique harmony that made us take that chance. You and I took a special chance the first time we said, "I love you" Also... we knew that we would share stormy as well as sunny times, laughter and tears, some dreams that would come beautifully true, and others that would fade in our memories..and we knew in our hearts that our love deserved all the effort we could make to fulfill our life together....for we took that special chance...and found a very special love. I knew from the start that our love was meant to be. The special sharing we knew couldn't be as it was if we had not met exactly when we did. If our lives hadn't touched when they did, I might have lived today loving one less person, But not just any person...a very special one..Thank you for being you, and for helping me to understand the joys to be found in life. In my heart I feel the warmth of your smile, and I know that we shared something special that many people only dream of. I want to thank you for always being there to embrace me when life sometimes became difficult, for warming my spirit and returning my strength. I thank you for filling my life, my heart, and my dreams with unending love. Something about us just seemed so natural and complete, like we knew we were always meant to be together and nothing could ever change the way we felt. Maybe it's the way we knew what the other was thinking, Maybe it's how our moods, and emotions complemented each other so well. Or maybe it's that we dreamt the same dreams and shared the same values. Whatever it was, it grew stronger and deeper every day. This is from My Heart with Love to You. This is for every hour We have ever spent together, For every kiss We shared, Each and every embrace, And every tear shed for one another. This is for every precious moment We have created Just by being together, For all the times we managed to Work through our anger and our tears. This is for all those simple Little things you have done for me That over time have added up to be So wonderful. This is for every time that you Were there when I needed you, For all the personal sacrifices You made for me, For all the times when you understood me, And for all the support that you Have always given me. This is for all the beautiful memories Of the love we shared And gave to each other, For all the tenderness and love That you have shown to me. Most of all, this is for you from me To show you just how special you really were. This is from my heart To thank you for Everything you have done for me, And For all the times I may have forgot to tell you Exactly how I felt about you. And This is to remind you That I will always love you. They say everyone has a Twin, well you Hon are My Hearts Twin, my first thought in the morning, and my last thought at night. You are my soul's mirror, the only one who truly understood how it is with me. I wish I could put into words the depth of my feelings for you. When I think about Our Life, the good times we've shared, and yes, the difficult ones too, I am so greatful to have found you. when i was growing up i guess I wondered if I would ever find the man of my dreams. I didn't know who he might be, or when it might happen, but I did know this: the man of my dreams couldn't be just anyone. He had to be someone "special"...I knew he wouldn't be easy to find. He had to be a lot of things, someone with whom I was able to be sincere and communicative and completely honest with, just the way I wanted him to be with me. Sometimes he would be outrageous and funny and wonderful, and yet he would be gentle and genuine and always there , in good times and bad. I think thats what made Our Life so Special, Good ,Bad or Indifferent, we could always count on US being there for each other. He would also be very reassuring and supportive. He had to have a warm heart and a sensitive soul and be full of fun and friendship and shared feelings. It was a lot to ask for and It seemed like the man of my dreams was just something out of a Fairy Tale, until you came along. And then..when you did...I discovered that you were EVEN MORE WONDERFUL than I could ever imagine anyone could ever be. We were Only in our teens when we Met Hon, and when we decided to get married, I knew from that day Our Life would be Blessed, We have three wonderful, Beautiful sons, a Beautiful Daughter in law, and Our precious Grandaughter Renzci, "Our Little Princess" to prove it, I am so proud of all of them , as I know you are Too, They are My Life , I Love them all so much, They are all I have left to remind me of You. A reminder that will stay with me forever. Everything I've longed for You've made my dreams come true. But the greatest gift of all was being loved by you. I'm sending this Valentine Wish To you in Heaven, Filled with so much Love, Hugs and Kisses too. Because there will always be a special place, Within my heart for you. Thank you for all The countless, caring ways You've filled my life with love, And Although Your Not here..Forever In My Heart, You Will Always Be My Husband.
Happy Valentines Day Hon...
I love you and miss you more
and more everyday.
Forever In My Heart,
Always On My Mind
Love Always,
Your BabyGirl

My Dearest Joe, Today is the
4 month Anniversary Of your Passing, I am no better today
than the day God took you from US... I am so heartbroken without you, I can't seem to come to grips with me being without you for the rest of my life, I know i have Our kids and the rest of Our family,and of course Our dearest friends, But Still it will never be the same, I love and Miss you so much, I wish the pain would just go away, but it
hurts so much. Everyday I think
it will get A Little better , then something I see or hear or do reminds me of You and I fall apart..I'm just so Lonely without you hon. I try to keep busy, but everthing is a reminder. I lost (You) The Only Man I ever Loved..I try to keep my feelings from the Kids ,
but they know how much i am hurting, And i know they keep
theirs from me. Joey our first born,
I know this is killing him inside ,
you did everything with him when he was little, but when i see him he is so quiet, and looks so sad. its like he is still in shock..Jeffery Misses you alot too you always gave him the strength and courage to become whatever you want to be in Life and just reach for that brass ring....I try to guide him, as you did in his decisions on whatever he sets his mind to do to become even more successful. I know he looks for a sign from you to help him...I try but you are better at it. As for Brandon It goes without saying, he is our Youngest, but he has grown up so much, he Also misses you terribly....He is doing very well in school, as he promised you he would in your final days with us... The 3 of them Love and miss you so much and their so proud to say you were their dad. They Looked Up To You, you always gave them good advice, and they have grown up to be true gentelman Because we raised them Well....I am so proud of all 3 of them as i know you are too. All Our lives there is nothing you wouldnt do for me and the kids...You always put yourself Last...You will never be forgotten Joe...You have a special place in all of our hearts, a Place that shall remain Full of wonderful loving memories of the Life You and I shared, and when Our kids were born , watching them growing up we shared so many more beautiful memories. They are surely 3 wonderful sons to be proud of...I am as i know you are. As i sit here and type, i know you are with me. as always i feel your presence around me and i want you to know that.

Dear Joe...I felt the need to write to you right now because as i sit here thinking, i am totally distraught...It's 1:25am and Of course i am up cause i can't sleep....I saw alot of our friends Saturday, and they all asked how me and the boys were doing, People ask every week, and every week i tell them the boys are OK...As for me One would think I am doing ok, but Inside I'm really Not...Everytime i see them they all tell me how much they miss you and what a great guy you were, Always smiling, always being there for anyone in need and i tell them..you were a special person to everyone, and that anyone you ever met, they always had something good to say about you...Thats whats good friends do hon...they stand by each other in times of sorrow, and anything they can do to help, they are always there for you..thats the kind of friends we have hon...But i don't have to tell you that...they watch over me like our family does as if they were a part of our family, also...Its almost four months since you passed and people still talk to me about you and tell me what a great guy you were, every week i see someone different and they come up to me and ask how me and the boys are doing and then they go on to tell me how much you are truly missed, you were a very unique person, everyone knew it, and it gives me a good feeling knowing that you have touched so many lives and so many people admired you, but ive known that for years.....I can't even begin to tell you how much i love you and miss you. it hurts so much, not having you here with me and the boys. Joey, Heidi, and Renzci came for dinner yesterday, shes getting so big joe , she lost her first tooth, so when she came today i gave her some money and told her that was from the tooth fairy, and then i gave her $20 and said this is money from Papa, because that is something you always did everytime you saw her and i promised to continue to do so...Heidi told me she sleeps with your picture next to her pillow, i had to do everything i could to hold back the tears when i heard that...I know she misses you hon, we all do so much. I know people say it time it will get easier, how can it possibly get easier if your not here with me... I lost (You) my best friend. Everytime I open our closet to take out my clothes i see yours hanging there and i cry, they will be there for a very long time, because if i put them away, then i will feel like another part of you will be gone from my Life and its hard enough to deal with losing you as it is...there are so many things i need to tell you, so many things I've been told, i will save it for when i visit your grave, for now i will just let it go. No words could ever describe the emptiness that has been in my heart since the day you passed Away. Many thoughts flood my mind about the precious moments we had together, but I would rather have you here with me alive and well, ,than just being alive in my heart. you were the center of my world, and the joy you brought to my life was wonderful. Remembering your eyes shining back at me, and the sweetness that was displayed in your smile, was the ultimate example of the love we shared. I miss hearing the laughter, and your words of cheerfulness you were the perfect gift that God created just for me!
There is nothing that could ever fill this void in my life and heart! These past four months has been very difficult without you being in my life. Each passing day is a constant struggle to let my life move forward, because stopping time would be so much easier, than to face another day without you. I will never forget the amazing person and husband you were For 38 years. God gave me the most treasured Gift of all...He gave me You. My dearest Joe 'I love you', I think of you each day. I feel your arms around me, that's how I get through my days. Your looking down upon me, to guide me on my way, but its very hard without you,
each and every day. People always tell me, the grieving will subside.
But how can it get better, without you by my side. No matter how hard they try to help me with this pain,
I am all consumed by thinking, It will never be the same. I know one day we'll meet, in the Heavens up above.
It's the one thing that helps me, to never forget your love. My dearest Joe, I love you, Your with me every day. I will keep this love within me, until my dying day...
Forever In My Heart,
Always On My Mind,
I Love You & Miss You

Hi Dad:
I signed your guestbook on Christmas but I didn't get published. It was sad that you weren't there with us but we made it thru it. Today is New Years Days so Happy New Year Dad. Today I turn a new leaf. All the stresses of 2008 are gone. But the pain of losing you will carry over. But its ok it makes me stronger. As you know thru our talks at your grave site I'm workin on things to reach the next level of success. All I ask is you watch over me and give me the signs to guide me to make it work. Everyones doin good but we all miss you. I miss us all sitting down at dinner every weekend. Even though we always laughed because we always had a lot of the same stuff its proven now that those times were precious together as a family no matter what we were eating. Last nite when I was playing with the band I felt your presence there. That's why when the ball dropped I raised my glass and said Happy New Year to you first. I hope 2009 will be a good year for the Cairo family. Please watch over us Dad. I love you. Talk to you soon...

Dear Joe...I wanted To Wish You A Happy New Year, although starting a New Year without you in my life is going to be very difficult...We had so much to look forward to Hon..with Our Boys, Our Family and Our precious Little Grandaughter Renzci. Now It is Just me and ALL Of them, but you will never be forgotten, You will always hold a very special Place in their Hearts and Most of All mine...No one really knows how much i truly miss you Hon...It really hurts not having you here, but i take each day one step at a time , I know your watching over Us, and that gives me some comfort . but it still isn't the same. All our friends ask me, how the Boys and i am doing when i see them..I tell them it isn't the same but we are managing as best we can...And then they go on to say what a great guy you were , always pleasant, always good to everyone, they all miss you Joe...You were a good friend to everyone who knew you. To Me You were My whole Life, My Soulmate, My Best Friend..and I miss you terribly :( As i sit here and write to you and think to the future of this New Year, there will be different occasions, birthdays, our Wedding Anniversary, Fathers Day, Etc...that will be difficult, but you will be lovingly remembered for the Special person that you were and And forever hold a very Special Place in each and every one of our Hearts. Its been three months since you passed, but to me it seems like only yesterday that YOU were right here with us, A Very big Part of Our family, Someone who we could turn to when we needed advice, someone who held this family together, and most of all someone we all Loved More than you will ever know. Looking back on the months gone by, As a new year starts and an old one ends, We contemplate what brought us joy, And we think of our loved ones, especially YOU Recalling all the happy times, Remembering how You enriched our lives, And reflect upon what really counts.
As the fresh and bright new year arrives. And when I/we ponder those that do, I/we immediately think of you. Thank You for being the reasons there was so much Love and Happiness in Our Lives, and even though you are Not with Us..The Love and Happiness made us stronger and brought us closer as a family...a Bond was formed ...A Bond Like no other , and that is Something that will remain with us forever. I love You Hon, And Miss you So Much.. Happy New Year To You In Heaven, Watch over Us as I know you always Do, And when i sleep at night,,the gentle breeze i feel, I know will be You Kissing me G'Night.
With Much Love & Much Sadness
Love you Always and Forever,

Dear Joe... Merry Christmas Joe, it is now three monthes since you have passed. I still can not beleive that this had all happened suddenly, it's like a bad dream. I want you to know that I celebrated xmas eve in honor of you, with the family, just seeing Joe,Heidi jeff and brandon, Jean & laurenzcia on xmas eve with out you there, just broke my heart,I tried so hard to hold back the tears. I ask god every Day, Why my Precious brother Joe, A man with a herat of gold That would put himself last for anyone You were a great family man a loving Father husband, brother&son. This was my first xmas with out you and it was so Difficult, because I hold so many beautiful memories of all the holidays we spent together with Mom & Dad, and family. I still have such a diffucult time with mom & Dad gone and now you, it is so paineful that my whole family is gone. I watched each and every one of you suffer, but you are not all set free from pain. I beleive thiis so hard to accept because I had a very unique family, with so much love and kindness a family that people would envey because of the love we had for each other. I have a family bond that will Live on forever, and this helps me emmensley. Joe remember I worked With you mom & Dad for so many years, I have so many fond memories & good times I remember all all the laughter, jokes that you and dad would tell, The memories are so precious to me. I will miss talking to you just to ask how everone was doing, just to know how everone was. I know that your spirit lives on and you will shine down on each and every one of us... I want to Thank you Joe for being my brother,I was truley blessed to have you in my life, & for listning to me, and help me get threw with mom & dad being gone. I remember one day in THe hospital you said if mom & dad knew i was here. They would be sleeping in the same room with me, I really miss them, but I am glad that they would not have to see me like this. you said to me that we were so luckey to have them in our life, the best parents ever. You said if someone neede one hundred dollars they woud give you 99 dollars and that was so true I beleive Joe it makes it more difficult because we were brought up with so much love, that it was a very unique & special Gift... I know jean misses you terribley, and the boys and I talk to her all the time, and try to tell her to think if you went on with suffering and pain, It would be very diffcult to witness. So we will live on with the beautiful memories of you... Joe please give Mom & dad a big hug for me, I miss them so much, I know now that all three of you are now in peace together Joe. I miss and Love you so much. Love you with all my heart.... LoveYour Sister debbie

Dear Joe....
Tonight is Xmas Eve, A Night that i Know was always your Favorite Time of Year, And although You wont be with All of us physically, Just know you will be in Our thoughts, and Most of all In our Hearts. It's Not going to be easy, but We as a Family will fondly remember the Special Xmas's over the years That you were right here with us. We Miss You so much Hon...Life as it was, just isn't the same, Every Day when I visit your grave...I stand there and ask myself Why...Why You? Why Did God take you from Us....It wasn't your Time hon...We need you here...I Need you here...There is such a void in My Life Now, An emptiness I can't Explain...I Lost (You) My Best Friend. I try to Take each Day, One Day at a Time..I really am trying to be strong..But there are days that i am overwhelmed with such Lonliness, that i just sit here and Cry :( The Boys watch over me, they know how much i am hurting, as much as i know they are too, They just hide their feelings better than i do. Everyday Your sister and i are like two crybabys when we talk on the phone...but thats only because we love and miss you so much. So Tonight as we Gather Together, We will be Thinking Of You, and Know that you are with us...We wont be Mourning Your passing, We will be Remembering The "Special" person that you are , The things about You...that made you who You were and always will be...When I look up at the Twinkling Stars Tonight, I will know that the One That shines the "Brightest" is You watching over us. I love and Miss you more and more Everyday.
Merry Xmas Hon...
Forever In My Heart,
Always On My Mind
Much Love, Your BabyGirl

Hi Hon...
It's been a couple of weeks since I have written to you. We managed to get thru Thanksgiving, but It wasn't
the same without you there, Now Xmas is two weeks away and Knowing that was your favorite time of year, It's going to be a little harder to handle :( All of us...Me, Brandon, Jeff, Joey & Heidi, and of course our precious grandaughter Renzci will be spending Xmas Eve, With Debbie & Pete. I/we know in our hearts that you will be with us, and i know this is something you would of wanted us to do..We miss you alot hon...I Love you and miss you more than you will ever know, Life just isn't the same anymore without you by my side..It breaks My heart, but your in my thoughts constantly and forever you shall remain there. Its been almost three months since you passed and still everytime the phone rings, i reach for it thinking it is you. I'm still waiting for you to walk thru the door like you always did and say Hi Hon, I'm Home, Then i snap back to Reality and Realize this will never be, so i keep those memories close to my heart as well as Our Lifetime of Love and Happiness that we shared for so many years. I am really doing the best i can for the kids, under the circumstances, but they too love and miss you so much.. How could we Not, You were Our whole Life Hon. They say time heals all pain, but for me it will be a very long time, We had a very special relationship hon, and No one but you and I know how special it was, Not Only were you My soulmate, You were My Best friend too. We built a whole life of Love and Happiness for our kids and Our Family, and those Memories will be with us forever. This weekend they are having a lighting of the tree ceremony, The place in which you are layed to rest, and I have 2 special Ornaments that i bought for you, and your Mom and dad in Loving memory and they will be put on the Xmas tree, we also decorated your grave with xmas greenery, Poinsettias, Etc, you know how i am hon, i am a fanatic when it comes to stuff like that and I want everything to be special, You as a Person have Touched so many Lives, would do anything you could for anyone in need and that in itself made you who you were and because of that, YOU are Very special, not only to us as a family but to everyone who has ever known you friends and family alike. I know sometimes i probably write to much here, more than i should, some things should be private, but this is My way of grieving, through words, you always use to kid me and say i make a short story even longer, it's my way of expressing myself, When i talk to people, whoever it may be, I know what i want to say. but its easier for me to write it in words, and this is my way of expressing myself so i can talk to you. Always remember Hon, that you are with us every second of every minute of everyday...And we love you and Miss you more and more as each day passes...As i sit here alone looking at your picture. Knowing you wont be a part of my future, Uncontrolable tears stream down my face, Asking god why he took you from my life, I still needed you here. you were the one to make everythng so clear. you are apart of me and I am apart of you...when you died a part of me died too. I never knew how hard it was to lose someone you love, until the day you were called to heaven. And Even though I can't see you, I know your up there watching over me and the kids, All of Us. Our hearts are broken forever, People tell us that in time the pieces will eventually come back together, If this is true, though hard to believe now, there will always be a space, The piece to which has your name on its place. Tears have been falling for awhile now When we think of your beautiful Smile, it all seems so wrong. You had so much to look forward to and so much left to do. But God needed somebody in heaven who is as special as YOU.
Nothing is the same now and we doubt it ever will be, You have been released from pain and suffering,
you have been set free. On the night you were taken from us, from life as we knew it, it was time for you to take your final bow. We miss your voice, your infectious laugh and hearing your stories. you are always around us, engulfing us with your love Giving us strength, keeping us close and watching over us from Up
above. In Our Hearts you Shall Remain Forever
I miss you so much :(
With Much Love,
Your BabyGirl

Dearest Joe,
Today is Thanksgiving and it is 2 months since you passed...It doesn't feel the same without you here...We all love and miss you so much. This Morning as i was cooking i was thinking of you and how much you enjoyed artichokes, stuffed peppers too, And Brandon helped me make the Antipasto, that was something you always did for me, but now he wants to do it...You would be so proud of brandon Hon...he has grown up so much since all this happened, and he is Handling it better than i thought he would, because He nor the other boys didn't want to see you suffer anymore...None of us Did...they miss you more than you will ever know. I want so much for you to be here with us Joe, but i know you are at peace and to see you go through all that pain and suffering is something i will never forget.... Joey and Renzci came over yesterday...I gave her all new Ornaments to put on her Own Xmas Tree and i also gave her $20...That is something you always did , everytime you saw her, and i will continue to do so..She went to visit your grave yesterday and she made you a beautiful Xmas frame that says I love Papa, And it has her Handprint on it. she made it all by herself and attached to it was a Xmas Ornament for you...i'm not sure if she fully understands your not being with us anymore. but i know she is sad and misses you, i can see it in her eyes..Joe I will always Love You, please always know that...You were My whole Life and I've never missed anyone in my whole Life, as Much as I miss you... It feels different you not actually being here with us on Thanksgiving, but i know in spirit you are and always will be...And knowing that is such a comfort for me...Your in My heart today more than ever ...and i know you will continue to watch over us.
Happy Thanksgiving Joe,
Love you Always & Forever

Hi Dad,
Today is Thanksgiving and it has been 2 months since you passed away. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think of you. I'm gonna miss you bein at the head of the table while we eat your favorites today. I also miss your calls everyday to see how I was sometimes when things happen at work I sometimes pick up the phone and start dialing you but remember quickly that you will not be answering. I got a tattoo last nite to pay tribute to you as I was goin thru the pain of it I was lying there thinking of the pain you were goin thru. I'd rather have you at peace than be suffering. You will always be here with us forever. I love you dad Happy Thanksgiving....

Dear Joe,
As Thanksgiving approaches, I want you to know that on that day you will be with each and everyone of us. It certainly won't be the same as it has always been over the years but you will be in our hearts. We will be going to Debbie & Pete's. I am making your favorite, Artichokes, & stuff peppers, You always made the Antipasto, Brandon wants to help me with it this year, he said i think daddy would like that, I told him you would for sure. Your sister didn't want me to make anything, but i needed to, i have been doing it for so many years , i need to keep busy...I know this isn't the place to write all this stuff , but i need to Hon...if i hold it in , it only makes it worse, and this is my way of communicating with you...I miss you so much Joe :( we have spent so many Wonderful Thanksgivings together with family, its going to be very hard for me to get thru this but i know everyone will be there for me , including you, i always feel you by my side hon, and i know i always will. The weather is starting to get really cold now.. and we still visit your grave Every single day rain or shine...Next week we will be decorating your grave with beautiful baskets and Xmas greenery, I know Xmas was your favorite time of year, Especially Xmas Eve..The family, will all be together then too. Your sister and i talk 2 or 3 times a day everyday , we reminise about you and all the years growing up with our boys, and then we cry. It will eventually get better i know, but you shall forever remain in our hearts...
Thanksgiving is the appointed time for focusing on the good in our lives.
In each of our days, we can find small blessings, but too often we overlook them, choosing instead to spend our time paying attention to problems. We give our energy to those who bring peace. Starting now,
let’s be on the lookout for the bits of pleasure in each hour,and appreciate the people who bring love and light to everyone who is blessed to know them. You are one of those people Joe
My "Thanks" is in YOU "Giving" ME The best 38 years of my Life hon...i will cherish those memories forever.
Happy Thanksgiving Hon,
I Miss you more and more everyday.
Love, Always & Forever

My Dearest Joe...Another week has gone By since you passed, Everyone tells me things will get better in time, but to be honest..I am so lonely without you, I will never be the same without you here by my side...Everyday i say..why You, why did it have to be you?...I think this is the worst, No it is The worst thing i've ever had to face...Losing the Only man I ever Loved...This is Killing me hon...I am trying so hard to be strong for the Boys when they are here with me, but when i am alone I fall apart....I sit here and cry My eyes out wishing you were still with us...It hurts so much, i feel like my heart has been broken in a million pieces, to know i will never ever see you again, and for you Not to be with All of us on special occasions, You know you will never ever be forgotten hon..You will forever be In Our Hearts...I told you some days I'm ok...Some days I'm Not...Today is One of those days, that i am a mess, i feel so Empty inside...I need you here with me Joe, Why did God have to take you? Didn't he know how Special you are to your family and that you needed to be here with us...I know you were suffering terribly Hon, and I wished to God you never ever Got that dreaded disease, It took you to soon from Us...Brandon said to me the other day, that Daddy wont be here to see me Graduate 8th Grade or High School either, It broke my heart to see the look on his face but he Knows and Understands that you are in a Better Place Now, and even though we ALL rather you be with us, we know you truly are at peace now...to see the way you were suffering Was awful...No one should ever have to go through what you did...I know you are watching over Us Hon....i do feel your presence with me , And I want you to Know How Much I truly Love You and Always Will..Our relationship was Very Special Joe, and I will never ever forget the Most Beautiful 38 years we were together...With Much Love & Much Sadness ..Your BabyGirl xoxoxo
The lonely days and lonely
nights, Just seem to linger on,
One day turns in to the next,
Now that you are gone.
You were such a part of me,
I failed to realize, Just how
empty one could feel, When
part of one of Us dies.
As I lay awake at night
while others are asleep
I take a trip down memory
lane with tears upon my
cheek.
No one knows the heartache
I've tried so long to hide
no one knows how many times
I've broken down and cried
I've cried because i love you
I've cried because i care
I've cried because when i wake
I know You Won't be there :(
Forever In My Heart,
Always On My Mind....
I Love You Hon,
Jeanie~ xoxoxo

Dear Dad....
It has been (5) weeks
now since we Lost You.
It is hard for me to accept
the fact that you are gone,
But i am not the Only One,
Mommy, Jeffrey, Joey and
Auntie Debbie..The whole
family misses you so much.
I am still doing good in school,
as i promised you I Would. 2nd
Quarter i will do even Better, I
know that is one thing you wanted
me to be was a good student.
I know you are watching over
Me...I feel your Presence All
around me all the time, I've
seen things so i know that
you are there.
People may say it's my
imagination, but i know what
i see, and i know what i feel,
and i feel you by my side
everday, mommy does also.
I hated so much to see you
suffering in the hospital, and
I am glad your at Peace now.
I will miss you taking me to
breakfast every saturday,
and i will also miss you taking
me to play pool, we use to
have alot of fun, You were very
special to me dad, No one could
ever ask for a better father,
than i had in you.
Mommy and I Go everyday
to visit you, Its sad to know that you wont be with us during special times in our lives but your memory will live on forever. and i just want you to know how much i love you and miss you.
If I could write a story
It would be the greatest
ever told Of a kind and loving
father Who had a heart of gold
If could write a million pages
But still be unable to say,
just how Much I love and
miss him Every single day
I will remember all he
taught me I'm hurt but
won't be sad ‘cos he'll send
me down the answers
And he'll always be MY DAD
Love Brandon

My dearest Joe, It has been 1 month and 4 days Since you passed. It is still very hard for me to comprehend that you won't be with us here anymore , only in Spirit and always in Our Hearts...Everday i think of all the special times we spent together with our friends and family...Life just isn't the same without you here....I cry everday asking God why did he have to take you. We were suppose to grow old together, now i can only do that by myself.:(..I know i have the kids and our Precious little grandaughter, And my family and of course Debbie & Pete, if i need them , but without You, It wont be the same...The Holidays will be here soon, and as Much as i dread it, I know you always Loved Xmas and Especially Xmas Eve, so we as a family talked about it and decided to go through with xmas Eve at your sisters house..the boys told me Mom dad would want it this way, so we have to do it..we are also going to debbies for Thanksgiving..I wasn't sure at first if i could even deal with the holidays without you, but knowing the kind of person you are hon.. i know you would want us to go ahead with it, as i said it will never be the same without you, but you will be in our hearts always and forever.
I Give You (4) Candles, The first candle represents our grief.
The pain of losing you is intense.
It reminds us of the depth of our love for you.
This second candle represents our courage.To confront our sorrow,
To comfort each other,To change our lives.
This third candle we light in your memory.For the times we laughed,
The times we cried,The times we were angry with each other,
The silly things you did,
The caring and joy you gave us.
This fourth candle we light for our love. We light this candle that your light will always shine.As we enter this holiday season and share these nights of remembrance with our family and friends.
We cherish the special place in our hearts that will always be reserved for you. We thank you for the gift
your living brought to each of us.
We love you.
We remember you.
Forever & Always
I feel such an emptyness in my Life now...You were always here for me, we could talk about anything and everything, and we always liked to tease each other. i think thats what made our life so special Joe, we were always there for each other no matter what. and i thanked god everyday for having you in my Life...Now it's Gods turn to take care of you Hon...He knew you were suffering so much and now you Rest in eternal peace...It was very hard for all of us to see you go, it Still doesn't seem real...I want to wake up and have someone tell me it was only a bad dream..You were always so healthy Joe, Never ever sick, Never had to be in a Hospital for anything...then out of nowhere, Our whole world came crashing down on us...in a matter of 7 weeks you were gone,,It killed me to see you go thru all those operations , The Tests, you name it , and still you suffered terribly...It was the worst thing i have ever seen anyone go through, But now your resting peacefully, Give your mom and dad a hug & kiss from all of us...Also My Aunts and Uncles and My Grandparents, some you never got to meet because they passed before i met you, but i know they would all welcome you with open Arms...One person i do know was a very good friend of ours, Unfortunately he too has passed and I know you are with him now, tell him "Daisy" said hello...Just remember Hon...you will live in all our Hearts forever, There isn't a minute that goes by , that you are not in our thoughts, I love and Miss you so much hon...
All My Love,
Your BabyGirl

Hi Hon...It's already 3 weeks today that you have passed, and not a day, hour, or minute goes by, that your not in My thoughts and Most of all My Heart....I Love & miss you so Much, I'm still waiting for you to walk through our front door as you did everday on your way home from work and say Hi Hon, I'm Home. I always loved when you did that,It gave me such a good feeling, Even when the phone Rings, It's like I'm expecting it to be you :( I know in My Heart that you are In a Better place Now, you suffered so much Joe,..But Why couldn't God have spared You?, Why did you have to Get so sick. It breaks my heart to know i will never see you, never hear your voice or feel your touch..The boys Love and Miss you alot also, but they are pretty much dealing with it in their own way. You were everthing to them, and to me, that goes without saying You were My Whole Life Joe, You were always there for me, If i was scared or worried about anything, you always were by my side telling me Jeanie, It's ok I'm here for You, and Now your Not :( All i have is memories of all the special times we shared and also with our kids..they will always be very special memories that i will hold in my heart forever.Your sister and I talk everday, sometimes 3 or 4 times a day and We talk about you and How good you were to Everyone and then we cry. You always put everyone ahead of yourself and made sure everyone was ok, and then we remember the good times we all had , it helps alot...But still you are missed so much, It's like a dream, It's doesn't seem Real. I still visit your grave everyday, even in the rain, I don't feel right if i miss even one day...The grass is starting to grow over the Dirt Now, Brandon and I wrote In the Dirt, and then Put in colored Mozaic stones. Mine says I Love You Hon, Brandon wrote We Miss You Dad. the headstone takes 12 weeks to make, by then the ground will be frozen so they cant put it in till spring, But we still decorate your grave and make sure It looks neat, Even that i'm a fanatic about I want it to be special because Your special Hon and always remember you will never be forgotten, and we will always Love You.
Foreve In My Heart,
Always On My Mind
I Love You Hon....

My Dearest Joe.....It's been 8 days since You passed away, and I was the First one to write in your guestbook...I found a poem that had alot of meaning to it, But now it's Time to write to you from My Broken Heart. I'm still in shock over this, I can't believe that you are gone from my life, but always know you will never be gone from my heart...I love and miss you so much it hurts. I never in my life ever imagined myself being without you...we have been together for so many years, we did everthing together..we shared so many special times together and when our kids were born..we spent many more....You were always there when i needed you for whatever reason. you were my strength..My Love, My whole Life...The Best husband anyone could ever ask for...When it came to Our 3 boys You had a special bond with all of them, all different , but still a bond nonetheless...they love and miss you alot too...You were their Dad, someone they looked up to and someone they were very proud of and always will be...You gave them your All and never asked for anything in return...As for me, what can i say..there was nothing you wouldn't do for me as i wouldnt do for you...we also had a very special Bond, a Bond like no other..your kind and gentle ways made you very special to not only us as a family, but everyone around you..You had a heart of gold and would help anyone in need and never wanted anything in return..Everyone whoever met you always had a kind word to say..You were very Unique hon...Someone who will never be forgotten...I Know your with your Mom & Dad now, and i want to thank them so much for having a Son like you, who i was fortunate to meet when we were only kids and eventually ended up marrying...Thanks Mom & Dad for Giving me Your Very Special Son to marry, and I'm glad i was fortunate enough to spend a total of 38 years with him..Please take care of him for us Now..we miss him so much...And I promise to always be here for Debbie too..we have become alot closer since all of this happened, we both tried so hard to help in anyway we could to make you get better Joe,,,It was so hard for all of us to see you so sick, but God only takes the Best and your at peace now, No more suffering.. I would give anything to have you sitting next to me right now, I know it's impossible...but i do feel your presence all around me, and that makes me feel better...The Boys i must say are handling this alot better than me. either that or they are trying their best to be strong for me so i wont fall apart...and i in return am doing the same for them..I visit your grave everyday Hon, I hope you like the spot i picked out for you..it is so peaceful there, and so beautiful..when i saw the tiny hill surrounded by big beautiful trees and colorful shrubs and that magnificent brick wall...I said, thats the Place i want him layed to rest. When it is my time , i will be right there with you.. Please Don't worry about the boys Joe, we all need to take care of each other more now than ever..Never forget how much we all love You, You will forever hold a special place in Our hearts...With Much sadness & Much Love..Gone but Never forgotten.. Rest In Peace Hon

I'm very sorry for your loss. Although I hadn't seen Joe in years, I've thought of him from time to time. Joe was always kind to me way back to the days at the jewelry shop on Killingly St. right up until he helped me get my job at Uvex. I will always be thankful to him for reaching out and helping me when I needed it. The one thing that sticks in my mind about Joe was his deep affection and loyalty to his family and friends. He will be remembered fondly.

Mr.C
I know we haven't spoke in a long time, and it's to bad I have to tell you how I feel like this. I always looked up to as a friend of the same age, even though you could have been my father. I remember coming over and playing hockey on the play station with you for hours. You were the funniest and you mad me laugh. I want to thank you for the time when I was playing Junior A hockey and things were not working out for me in Iowa, and you found me a team near home so I could continue playing. It was real easy to quit at that time, but I stuck with it and ended up having a pretty decent Pro carreer. I'm sorry that we grew apart for what ever reasons. I want you to know that you will be greatly missed. I also want Mrs C and the rest of the family to know how sorry I am and if you need me for anything please call me anytime. Mr C, I hope that they have a TV up there in heaven with NESN so you can watch the Bruins whenever you want. Love Ralph Marziale

Dear Papa,
Why did you have to go so soon? I will miss you looking into my big blue eyes. I will miss climbing into your recliner with you and resting my little baby head on your shoulders. I will miss eating Nanny's pasta with you and all of the special birthday parties that you and Nanny had for me. I will think of you every time I play with the toys that you bought for me. I will listen every time my mom and dad tell me a story about you before I go to bed. Papa, I will pray for you every night with my little hands, that God is keeping you safe and loved. I love you Papa.
Love,
Your Grandbaby Renzci
P.S. I promise to take good care of my daddy for you.

Auntie Jeanie, Joe, Jeff, and Brandon,
I wanted to tell you how sorry I am for your loss. I have many fond memories of Uncle Joe. He always made me laugh. I used to call him the walking infomercial. I remember how much time we used to spend together when we were little. The beach, Fourth of July, cookouts, parties, and Christmas. I remember Uncle and my Dad would be on the phone for every Bruins game on TV and I remember Uncle bringing us home goodie bags when we slept over your house. You guys have been a big part of my life and Uncle Joe will surely be missed. Auntie, you and Uncle were always so sweet and loving to me. I love you both and smile when I remember our times together. I pray for you all and wish for you peace during this difficult time. All our love and condolences, Patti, Jason, Mia, and Jason

Hi Dad,
This is the hardest thing I ever thought Id have to deal with. I feel such a void now that you are gone. All I can do now is remember what a wonderful father you were to us. You gave and gave went without so we can have everything. You were my mentor, my friend and my dad. It pains me that you wont get to see me give you another grandchild but when I do have one I will teach them the same wisdom you gave me for the last 30 years. You always taught me to be strong and protect your family. Dont worry Ill protect Mommy and Brandon plus I know you will be watching over us. I know your proud of all the accomplishments I achieved and I will never ever stop reaching the next level of success. I love you Dad and I will never forget you....
