Joe,
I know it has been four months since we lost you. However, there is not a day that goes by that I don't think about you. Wishing I could have done more for you. It has been so hard to deal with your loss and seems to get harder as the days go by. Just so hard to find a way to continue. Jay and I had so many dreams and future plans that included you and now all of that has been destroyed. How many times did we talk about finish college and heading out to Edmonds to live with you and so much more that included you. I know one thing that we will continue to do and that is to fight for justice for you and it doesn't matter how long it takes to get there. It is something we need to do. Joe, I want you to know that I LOVE YOU and wish so much that I had the power to change all of this. I would give anything to have you back! I love you Joe.
Love, Jackie

Joe was person I did not get to know for very long, but the short time I knew him was long enough to know he was a good man.
My sympathy goes out to Joseph's family. He will be missed, but never forgotten.

The sudden and tragic loss of Joe is very sad. He was a good man who enjoyed riding with his dad and friends. His loss will be felt for a long time by everyone.
My condolences to all of your family. You will be missed.
