I´m sorry, for so many things. Regret and guilt eat at me on a daily basis. I wish with every fiber in my being I could go back in time and re-do things, make different decisions , knowing what i know now. You were my best friend, my rock, my light house in a storm.... And still, almost 15 years after your passing I still feel like I´m lost at sea, aimlessly meandering... barely able to not drown amongst the giant waves. I´m hoping I can handle all of this and prevail through it.... But hope is like a candle. And a candle can only burn for so long before the wick is burnt out. All I know is I love you, and I would do anything give anything to be able to make things right with you. I´ll always love you.

I am friends with Joe and after the last few months I really started to sit down and talk to his dad. He was/is agreat man and was taken way before his time.

I went to school at St. Mary's with Joe. Knowing him was a privilege. He will always be in my heart. May God bless his family. Stay strong.

I grew up with Joey Koller , we had such great times together. He was always so much fun to be around. Years later I was thrilled that I got to see him everyday when he became my mailman. After all those years and all the growing and changing he did, we never lost the light in his eyes that said, I am up for anything! To Mrs. Koller, Mary and his family, I am really sorry for your loss. Joe was a great guy and all of our lives are better for knowing him. I love you all like family. love, Leslie Gilbert
