Not sure what to say?

I am signing this guest book again.
I am the cousin of J.D and Joe, I have a story to tell you all and whether you believe it or not is your choice but it is true! At the Service for J.D and Joe we were all listening to this song and it made all the tears i had held in come out, so here i was bawling when i felt someone touch my face, I was looking all around but no one had touched my face, i know it was one of my cousins, then after i told my sister Jenny she said she had felt someone...

I have signed this guestbook once and im signing it again. I have just attended the memorial at salvation army yesterday. To me, the memorail was a great experience for me. Everyone there was crying and sometimes laughing at the memories they had wil JD and Joey. I was glad to see all the faces there that knew JD and Joey and to see how mch they cared for them by going to the memorial. I remember all the GOOD times we had together with JD. I remember when we were in White Castle and my sister...

I'm so sorry to everyone who knew and lost Joe, and J.D. I knew and loved Joe. We went to school normally on January 26, and during science, Mrs. Maebane got called dowt to the office and after a while she came back crying, I asked her if everything was ok and she said 'No'. We were just sitting in our class room after lunch when we saw the 6th and 8th gaders running down the halls crying. Some of the people who I have never and would never expect to cry were bawling. When the social workers...

I knew JD since freshman year, I'm a junior now. I remember him as the crazy kid at the lughthouse cafe. I liked JD for the longest time. He dated one of my friends and they both caem to my sweet 16th party. When him and his girlfriend at the time broke up we started to like eachother and though things didn't work out we talked and JD was such an awesome guy. I talked to his brother joey once or twice and its sad to see him and his younger brother nick also go. I'll never forget JD the way he...

At this time we can only trust in God's love, wisdom,and mercy.May the good memories of Dan, J.D., Joey, and Nicholas ease the pain of this tremendous loss. I have such fond memories of Dan growing up with my sons (his cousins) and of seeing Dan as a father to his sons.
Love, Aunt Juanita

i got to know JD for only a fairly short time that he was with us. i met him through mutual friends, JD was a great friend and as far as im concerned an up-and-comming musican. he and i played in a small group based out of my friends basement and we had big plans for what we wanted to do with our music. loosing him was loosing a fire that lit the band up at times. i will always retain that fire inside. rest in peace JD.

JD was a great guy and I will truly miss him. He was my brother's best friend and a good friend of mine. You will always stay in my heart. I remember the first time I met you and your crazy silly ways singing your heart out in our basement. And remember the time you wanted to leave Steven's birthday party to come with me to the clubs but you were too young to party with the big kids. It hurts so much to know that you are gone but please watch over me and my brothers and everyone else. I also...

I am very sorry for your losses, all 4 of them were very great people and they did not deserve what happened. We will NEVER forget them and i no that they will always be in my heart. I remember all the good times i had with JD and some of times with Joey, i loved them soo much i still cannot belive that they are gone. And Nicholas was adorable, he was 2 and he had hopes and dreams for his future along with joey and jd. I am just very happy that Wanda survived i no that she has a hard life to...

I met JD through my cousin when she was going out with him and I always had a crush him. After they broke up, we became really close and talked alot. I got to know quite a bit about him and he knew alot about me also. I was able to tell him anything and it meant so much to me for him to be able to listen. I remember being at his house when he and his friends were playing pool. Great memories with that kid. I always had a crush on him and after awhile, I was told that he had a crush on me...
