In our minds and hearts we always knew,
this time would come to pass.
But knowing it, and living it,
has come and gone so fast.

Goodbyes are always hard to say,
they hurt so very much.
Though you are now gone.
You will still remain,
in the minds, hearts, and lives you've touched.
Rest In Peace Joey,
Your cousin, Susan
