Another year... I'm not really sure what to say but know that I feel you everyday. Joey please keep guiding me and shining your light down my path. This thing called life aint easy but knowing I have you as my ANGEL helps me get through. Wishing you were still walking this earth with that smile and sparkle in your eye but GOD had other plans. 12 years later A.P.S.

To: My Love,
Your about to be 30... Another mile stone and this one you wont be here for. My Heart is so heavy... how I wish you were still here. My whole life is so different Joey. I feel so lost at times, so empty! I spend so much time thinking of you, visiting you wondering what if. I know Ma gets upset with me because I don't go see her as I should but its just hard. I used to sit in your house for hours on hours with her just waiting for you to walk through that door so I could just see your face! That will never happen again and its just a reminder when I sit there that your never coming back; your not going to walk through that door with that shine in your eyes from seeing my face. My heart is forever broken Joel and I feel no one will ever love me the way you did! I know I need to let go and after 9 years I thought I would be able to but its so much harder than I thought. It was supposed to be me and you you and me and now its just me! I know your with me, watching me, guiding me, keeping me safe... I FEEL you! But I cant see you, hold you, kiss you, hear you, touch you, Nothing! All I can do is look at your pictures, read your letters and visit you in the last place I ever thought I would have too. You left a hole in me and it needs to be filled but until we meet again that hole is there to stay! I miss you Joel I don't even know how to express it; I just know that in this life time we will never be and it is one of the most painful most emptiest feelings I have ever had to endure. I LOVE YOU JOEL REYES!
In 10 days we will celebrate you like we have for the past 8 years! You will forever be kept alive in our hearts because although life is not forever, LOVE IS! My Angel! My FOREVER Love! Keep Shining! A.P.S. * 12-15-2001 * Forever & A Day!!
From: Your Love <3

Joey, 9 years since I saw that handsome face, or heard your voice. I miss you more this year than ever. So many good things are happening and I know you would be here with me letting me know how proud you was to call me Titi. I can't bring myself to mourn your passing. Maybe because to me it would mean I have accepted that you are no longer able to walk this Earth or that I would forget you. Which believe me that could and would never happen. Your trophy along with a picture of you sits in my living room with my other two babies. You have been and always will be my baby. I love you Joey more than words could ever express. Happy Early Birthday! (Forever 21)

Today should be a day to celebrate but instead it's a day which a broken heart is trying to mend is ripped open again!!! I can't say Happy Birthday because there's nothing to be happy about. It's almost been a year nephew and still there's days that past that I question if your really gone or are you in one of your many trips away from home. I do have to thankful for the years that I did have you physically in my life. I know in my heart that you might not be here physically but you are here in spirit. I wish I could tell you how much you mean to me but I know you knew how much I cared for you and still do. I will never ever forget you my beloved nephew because everyday I look at my daughter I think about you. It was years that I never had a child and you went to heaven. Then two weeks later I had a miracle growing inside me. Thank you for sending me the best gift in the world. Joey I love you mucho mucho.

I am so sorry for your loss. As a sister I know what it is like to lose a brother,It really hurts. In my eyes god had plans for these boys and saved them from any more harm that this place can bring. Remember the smiles the good times replay and remember that one day we will all meet again. until that day hold him in your heart and keep the memory of Joey alive. For Wanda and Jose my prayers are with you both, no one could ever know what its like unless they went through it themselves your boy was a great kid full of life keep him close and remember he's with you all the time, Heaven got another ANGEL that morning.
I love you guys.

I don't even know where to begin...
Joey,
You may not have know this but I always thought of you like my little brother too. That smile of yours, so mischievous. : ) I still remember when Kat told me you was gonna be a Dad - oh my goodness. Jari is so beautiful. Your dreams (& smile) truly live on through her.
Wanda, Jose, Joseph, Yvette, Isaiah... my other fam. I remember hear'n I'm sorry so much I wanted to scream. So I won't even say it. Just know that you're in my prayers & that I love you.
Kathy & Jacob,
Like I've told you Kat, I'm not gonna begin to say that I know what you're go'n through. Everybody deals w/ things differently. But know that w/ me you don't always have to be brave. I got you always. I love you.

Kathy is a close friend of mine and I am sorry for your loss Kat, but right now I am speaking directly to Wanda. I understand exactly what you are going through. The worst pain in the world is losing a child it doesn't seem right a parent burying their child. I miss my son everyday it doesn't get easier you just learn to live with the cruel fact that your child is no longer here. You don't want to hear he is in a better place because you want him to be here with you. I am so sorry for your loss. My heart goes out to the entire family but especially to Wanda you are Joey's mother the woman that gave Joey life. Your loss and pain is the worst many people may not understand that but I do. Remember all the times Joey made you happy, mad, cry, and smile so that you will always have Joey around. May God bless you and the family. I love you Kathy

Hey Bro,
Things will never be the same without you. I love you with all my heart. You filled my heart with joy,love and sometimes worries but you have always been there for Isaiah and me. You are his Nino! Your missed very much but always remembered. I know you will guide Isaiah and me for the rest of our lives.
If we could have a life time wish and one dream that could come true. We would pray to God with all our hearts just to see and speak to you. A 1,000 words won't bring you back we know because we tried. Neither will a million tears we know because we have cried. You left behind our broken hearts and precious memories too. But we never wanted memories..We only wanted you!!!
I love you Joey "Nino"

You are now the sun that brightens the sky,
The moon that shines over us at night.

You are the rainbow after rain from the heavens high..
You are the shadow beside me to keep me from danger,
A beautiful part of gods wonderful nature,
You are the love in my heart, a gaurdian angel,
i'll stay strong for you, always remaining stable...

~Reminiscing~
I remember how it used to be
When I had you by my side.
I remember the nights you kept me warm
And I still feel the love that never died.
I remember the smile you wore
That always made my heart race.
I remember the smoothness of your skin,
And every single line of your face.
I remember the comfort of your presence
When I had nowhere else to go.
I remember the warm spring memories
And watching all the flowers grow.
I remember the cold winter days
When even the ice melted at your touch.
I remember the autumn drives,
And watching the leaves change...you enjoyed it so much.
I remember the long summer evenings
When your laughter filled the air.
I remember the love I have for you,
but now you're gone...and it's just not fair.
Joel Kno always that i love u ur going to be missed so much... From Ur First Love Sense Middle School Jadelisse Rivera...
