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 you to Rob Santa Maria who was Captain of our 1967 Team. Rob is handling most of the details on this.
Your husband/Dad was such a great guy in high school. Always smiling, laughing and just an all around great guy. I am so sad to learn he is gone from this world. My prayers are with you all.

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, I will always be your little girl even at 42,
I need you and miss you just like Mom and Joey. There is no sunshine in our lives anymore. Living without you DOES NOT get easier, it is harder everyday. You are too young to be taken from us. My God, I hope you suffering has stopped and you re-United with your Mother & Father and the rest of family. I told you that I wished I could take that awful disease from you and switch it from you to me,
Why couldn't that have happened? Daddy you mean so very much to so many people- the world is a much colder place without you, your wisdom, and your strong safe hugs. We all miss you and love you,
Forever & Ever☮❤PEACE BABY☮❤

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 last. As long as Mom, Joey& his Family, and Me were okay , then you were happy! Daddy now it's time for you to REST, time to BREATHE EASY, time for you to enjoy and do for YOU!
I WILL LOVE YOU FOREVER YOU ARE WITH ME EVERYDAY!!! DONT WORRY ABOUT US WE WILL BE OKAY- I WILL TAKE CARE OF MOM AND JOEY WHATEVER THEY NEED I AM HERE FOR THEM-I PROMISED YOU THAT! Peace Baby! I Love You Daddy!
