This will be placed on my brothers, Joe and Dave's, Memories sites.

Don't think of him as gone away -
his journey's just begun,
life holds so many facets -
this earth is only one.

Just think of him as resting
from the sorrows and the tears
in a place of warmth and comfort
where there are no days and years.

Think how he must be wishing
that we could know today
how nothing but our sadness
can really pass away.

And think of him as living
in the hearts of those he touched...
for nothing loved is ever lost -
and he was loved so much.
E. Brennsman

Missing you so much,
Tom

In Memory of UNCLE JOE:

God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be. So He put His arms around you and whispered “come to me.” With tearful eyes we watched you, and saw you pass away. Although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands at rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best (U R THE BESTEST)!!!
YOU ARE GREATLY MISSED & GLAD YOUR OUT OF PAIN!!
LOVE YOU,
KASSY
JUDY & GIRLS,
I AM SOOO DEEPLY SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS, YOUR ARE FOREVER IN OUR PRAYERS!!
LOVE YOU,
MIKE,KASSY AND KIDS

Judy and family, I still can't believe Joe is gone. I know how sad you all are, but relieved at the same time that he is finally at peace. Joe always made me laugh. I keep looking back on all the fun times we all had together, and the rough exterior he tried to put on, but he loved you so much.

I remember him making sure Collins Street was shoveled out after that major Valentine's Day snow storm because you were going to have Missy at any minute, and having your wedding reception at our house, and emptying out the living room to set up tables...and the card games, Joe loved to play, but wasn't a very good loser, and he made us all laugh. Mom would be yelling at us from two doors down to "play nice" and the kids would be telling us from the living room not to fight, like we always told them.

Joe is gone, but all the good memories will always live on. In your sadness, please try to remember all the good times you all shared together. You guys are a great family, and your love will keep you all strong for each other.

I'll always be here if you ever need anything. No matter what time of day or night, I am just a phone call away.
I've been truly blessed to be such a part of a wonderful family and to have known Joe. He will be sadly missed, but fondly remembered.

Steve sends his condolences as well. He didn't know Joe for very long, but loved talking to him. He feels as though they had alot in common, and Joe always made him laugh.

May God Bless all of you, and help you to find comfort and strength, and a smile when you look back on the wonderful life you all shared.

Love, Denise & Steve

I may have not seen him all that often, but the many memories I do have of Joe all are great. He was always so laid back, and fun to be around. If there was one thing I knew about Joe, its that he loved his family more than anything. It saddens my heart to see him go, but he is now another one of god greatest angels. It is never easy to loose a loved one, but we must try to remember all the good times and know that Joe is now in a better place.

To the McMahon family, my heart aches for you in this time of loss. Keep in mind that you are surrounded by a great family that loves you and will be here to support you in your time of need.

To Alicia, you are more than just family to me, you are a best friend. I am here for you always, no matter what. Your dad is in heaven hanging out with the rest of the family we love so dearly. You know I am always a phone call away if you ever need anything.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
