Dear Joey,
I will never forget the kind and loving way that you comforted me when I first came into the program, nor will I forget the instant connection that we had(thanks to Isaiah).The endless rides, the countless talks, the many fellowshiping activities that we enjoyed going to together will always remain beautiful memories that will live on in my heart. Braxton will miss your silly jokes and your rides on the back of the bike. I will miss your love and compassion for life. Have no fear for you are welcomed by your loving family and mine as well. May you live on now content and painfree. I await the day that I will see your face again, when you will WELCOME me with open arms once again. We love you dearly and will miss you emensly but i now know that there is one more ANGEL watching over me. God bless.

Joey My Loving Cousin,
Where to start..with the crazy jokes you always told (you could make anyone laugh regardless of their mood!)? The motorcycle rides? Your caring nature; always there to help someone in need, lend an ear when someone needed to talk, lend a shoulder when someone needed to cry. Regardless of what you were doing at the time you always made sure that you were available when someone you cared about needed you. I am "overwhelmed" by the sadness i feel in my heart but then i think about the memories, the time we spent together, the secrets we share and i will have them now and forever and that is what will make me smile every time your name is mentioned. Destiny has changed the course of your life for a reason and i am certain it is to continue your work in Heaven as one of "God's Angels". Rest in Peace My Dearest Cousin I love You xoxo

Joey, it's hard for me to put in to words how much it meant to me each time I saw you and you yelled out "Here's Johnny" when we met. You always had a big smile and so many laughs. I'm sorry we didn't know each other longer but I feel like we had been friends forever. You truly were an inspiration to me! I will miss you my friend. Rest well and god bless.
