Joey,
I miss you very much, though I was just getting to really know you I could see what an amazing, funny and intelligent soul you are and you will always be in my heart. I am sure you are in a beautiful loving place without any pain and I hope you know you had a wonderful impact on so many people.

Laurie and Claudio,
My thoughts and prayers are with you during this time. You are amazing parents and wonderful people. Please take care of yourselves. HUGS

Hi Joey. I miss you so much. You were such a good person and always had a smile on your face. You were always so positive about everything. I will always remember the year when you came trick-or-treating with all of us. That was one of the most fun Halloweens I've ever had! I'm so happy you came with us. Also I always loved coming to math in 7th grade because you sat in front of me. I hope it's fun up there. I will never forget you.

Love, Rachel

Dear Laurie and Claudio,
I don't know if you remember me. I babysat for Joey in 1997 in The Essex House in New York while you were meeting with Dr. Grifo. I just wanted to tell you how sorry I was to hear of Joey's death and to let you know that I am thinking of you. I remember being amazed at how energetic Joey was and how enthusiastic about life he was. I am so sorry for your loss.

Dear Joey,
I miss you so much. I miss seeing you at school and laughing with you. I miss eating lunch with you, being able to talk to you, and I just plain miss you. I can't wait to see you again. You always could make someone laugh no matter what was going on. You brightened up a room when you walked in and filled many hearts with joy. You changed my life forever. I love you and will never forget you.
Love Hannah

Joey, How is it up there? I can only imagine the view. I miss you with all my heart and can't wait to visit you. You truly touched my heart; and so many others. I will tell everyone hi from you. Good luck with all of your many adventures to come!

dearest joey, everyone misses you here, but we all know you are in a better place now. I am coming to visit you today at st. catherines which should be nice. you have a beautiful soul and we all miss you dearly. It was so nice going to school with you for so many years and I have memories of you and I at graduation. Well have fun flying.
