Joe
My best friend, supporter and second father.
I cannot even think of you without crying. For once, I do not know what to say.
You are forever in my heart and I truly wouldn't know what my life would have been without you.
See you soon my favorite brother in law xoxoxo

Hello Susan, Jennifer and Joseph, Jr,
First, my sincere condolences on the loss of your husband and father. I am so very sorry. I attended Kenmore West with Joe and we played football together. Our 1967 team when 8-0 and won the Niagara Frontier League Championship. Well, on October 13th, our ENTIRE 1967 Team is being inducted into the Kenmore West Hall of Fame. So, Joe will officially be a Hall of Famer! If you'd like, you can call me on my cell phone (317-258-6372) and I can direct...

Daddy,
You went to Heaven just over one year ago, but the emptiness in my heart continues to be more and more. We love you soooo much and miss you soooo much! Life is very different without you.

Daddy,
You have been the constant in my life. The ONLY MAN that was true, loving, strong, so giving, and just PERFECT! A horrible disease afflicted you and caused you to lose so much of yourself - no eating, no drinking, not being able to swallow, choking, not being able to speak, much difficulty breathing, relying on machines to help you all day. That was not you- you were so active - always going, always helping Joey & Me and ANYONE else that needed anything. You always put yourself...
