We only knew Joey for a very short time when he would come to visit his dad in the park where my husband's brother lived, he was a very sweet kid. He and my daughter became quick friends. He will be greatly missed. Joey, you are God's brightest angel now. God bless your family in this hard time.

Joe...he always brightened my day. None shall forget you Joe. I love him and miss him. Remember he is still with us in a way.

Joey is going to be forever missed. He was a great cousin and all around great person. He was always there when I needed him. I could always joke around with him and we would spend some nights talking on the computer. I have alot of great memorys of me and Joey. Joey will always be in my heart and not a day will go by when I won't be thinking about him.

I love you JOEY!

Aunt Kathy,
I love you very much! Everyone is very proud of you.

Words cannot express the sympathy and sorrow we feel for the loss of Joey. To his mom, dad, brother, sisters, grandparents, aunt, uncles and cousins, we send our prayers.

I am going to miss Joe. Joe was a very good friend after all this time. I am very sick at heart that he has passed away. Why is it time for him to go? He's too young. I just can't stand the 2nd friend to die. Joe, I am really going to miss you. I wanted to see you at school the beginning of this year. But now that you have gone to a better place. :'( I am very sorry for Joe's family. I care for you all and I hope everything goes ok.

Joey was one of my closest friends, I was really going to take him to Ozzfest and throw him a birthday party for all the awesome, thoughtful, generous things he has done for me. All his family and friends who are taking this hard, just know that you aren't alone, because I know the feeling, and that you are in my prayers and thoughts night and day. It was the hardest thing I have ever done to carve a few simple words into that tree for him and Brandi, but I know that they got the message and...

We will be keeping you in our thoughts and prayers.

Jody, Kim, Dana and David Sellinger

My condolences to the family and friends of Joe. I was just sick at heart when I heard about this tragedy because I too,recently lost two members of my family in an automobile accident. No words can truly take away your pain, but just know that you are in my prayers.
