I can only imagine the pain and grief you are experiencing with the loss of Joey. The memories of him will live on in the hearts and souls of those he touched through friendship, family, and love. Although his time was short, Joey did wonderful things with his life, including reuniting those who have lost so much time together.

Joe & Pat:
I am totally shocked to hear of Joey's death...
I will pray for you often in the next weeks and months.
He is in a better place but that doesn't make it any easier for you both. You will miss him terribly..
Give my love to your family.
