Joseph S. Burgess

It's been almost 12 years, and I still can't believe you're gone. I can't believe you'll never know my sons, or the wonderful man I ended up with.

I can't believe it's been almost 12 years of Joey and Rhi missing you, needing you, never forgetting you.

Uncle Joe, you are gone but never EVER forgotten. I will always love, and miss, and remember you, for being the amazing uncle you were to me and my sisters. Thank you.

It's hard to believe it has been more than a year. You are missed more than you could ever have known you would be. Joey and Rhiannon are getting big. Rhiannon is just like you!

Dear Daddy, You are with God in heaven now but we miss you here. We love you Daddy.

Dear Family,

Please accept my sympathy. I only knew Joe one day in the 1980s, when I enjoyed swimming and playing tennis with the very young, Disney-World-bound man. The occasion was a picnic of the First Baptist Church of Trenton. I have a photo or two of Jersey Joe and me on the court. I don't know if he had ever played before or did since. He seemed so healthy and athletic on that one day that it is hard for me to imagine him passing at such a tender age.

My Darling Kyle, I believe that you are hurting most of all. Joe is only gone physically from you. His soul rests with the Lord and he watches you. Remember that he loved you and he will be in your heart forever. Mom

My dearest Joey and Rhiannon, Daddy had to leave us. God called him to His arms. I want you to know that your daddy loved you very much and he always will. He watches over you from heaven now and although our hearts break, Daddy is better now. We will be there for you always. Mema and Pop-Pop
