Not sure what to say?

You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

oh my goodness, I just re-looked at the photo gallery...what a handsome/fun man you were! However, there is one picture that is engraved in my mindseye: of you at Retreat with LifeTeen as the teen group leader of my small group! doing the Christ the King pose. Joey, you were a leader and an inspiration to those who knew you clear to the end of your Earthly life. My prayers continue for your family for strength, courage and understanding. love you all...

I love you BIG GUY!!!!!!

I never had the chance to met Jo-Jo but I know you were a very special person by having met your mother and brother. Life isn't the same for either of them but memories of you allow them to function every day! You will never be forgotten by either of them and they do both know they will see you again years ahead. God has taken you in his arms and continues to comfort your mom, brother and family.

It has been 3 years this month. I miss you so much Joey. Not a day goes by that your brother and I speak about you.. It truly upsets me (saying that in a nice way) what you had to go through. I am sorry son you had to deal with such a horrid disease. I don't know why God takes the great people from us first but I intend to ask him when I get there. I love you and miss you JO-JO.

Still hard for me to believe that you are gone. You are so missed by not only me, but my family. It was a pleasure taking care of you! You always made me smile and today you did it again! I hope you are preparing Heaven for me! Make sure they have plenty of Kit-Kats ;0)! You are forever in my heart.

You are never forgotten in our minds, hearts and souls Joey! You are loved and missed each and every day. Say hello to John for me... until we meet again my friend.

Unbelievable how time passes us so quickly. You are missed very much, Joey watch over your family as I know you are with God. I think of you often, and say a prayer when I do. Christ IS the King! I will never ever forget that Retreat...and how special you were!!

Hey there Big Guy...been thinking bout you alot lately!! My daughter made me a dvd for my birthday and she made sure to put pictures of you and me when you were younger and pics of jus you as well!!! She did such a good job and it made me smile and cry all at the same time!! I really wish she had a chance to know you better!! I love you!!

Love Aunt Traci
