Hey Momma's Only Boy:

It's late Xmas Eve and we just got back from Chuckie's. Everybody was there except you and Uncle John. Thank God for Chanel and John John because they make it a little easier to get through the holidays. Christmas will never be the same for us. We miss you and Skinner so much. Merry Christmas to you both and continue to watch over all of us.

Luv, Mom

Hey Joey,
I was just sitting here thinking about you and thought that I would write and talk to you. I can not beleive that Christmas is in a few days. It really does not feel like the holiday season because the weather has been so nice and it really has not been that cold. Another Christmas where the family will be together but not the whole family. The holidays are always hard because so many from the family are not here. You are missed so much and I wish that you were here. None of the holidays are the same we all try to make the best of them but everyone can feel that someone is missing, you can see it in everyones face. Well, I should probably get back to work so I am going to have to say goodbye from now but I will be back again soon. Love you and miss you!!

Love Kelly

Hey Joe--
Christmas and my birthday are next week and I've been crying alot. Your guest book will be offline as of the 29th but I will print all the pages of entries made since you left us 2 years ago. Instead of writing to you, I will talk to you every day for the rest of my life.

We love you and miss you so much.

Love, Mom

Hey,

Not much to say except that I miss you.

It's hard because a lot of times it seems like everything's normal and then it just hits me that you're gone. I don't really know how to describe it but it sucks.

Just wanted to let you know I was thinking about you :) keep watching over everyone <3

Hey Joey,
I can not beleive that it has been two years that you have been gone. I have been thinking about you alot. Thanksgiving used to be one of my favorite holidays now I just pray that I can get through it. It is just not the same anymore. Well, I just wanted to say hello and let you know that I am thinking about you.

love you

Hey Momma's Only Boy:

It's been two years since God took you from us,
This time of year will always be the toughest,
You were so young; I sometimes wonder why,
Especially this morning; all I do is cry,
You're in a better place, I know you're happy,
I'm trying my best, but I still feel crappy,
We're thankful for Chanel; she brightens our days,
And all the shopping, helps me through the haze,
Happy Holidays to you and Uncle John,
We're all trying our hardest to continue on.

Luv, Mom

Hey Joe...

Hey Momma's Only Boy-- Your 2nd benefit was Friday night and I was disappointed with the turnout. I guess I expect too much. Well anyway, everybody seemed to have a good time, but we just made $3000. I had to pay for 200 people, even though only 150 showed up. I'm willing to give it one more try next year, and the band has agreed to perform again.

We luv you and miss you so much.

Hey Momma's Only Boy--

Dad and I took Anne back to school last week and helped her get her apartment together. Right now the house is very quiet and I miss you so much. I'll have Chanel for now on since she starts school next week at Anne Frank. She started Cheerleading practice and looks so cute. I'm a Squad mom and starting all over helping the kids. At least Chanel keeps me busy. We luv you and miss you so much.

Luv Mom

Hey Joey...

It's already September and the summer is almost over, it already feels like it is outside. Well, you would have been 21 now and finally legal, not that there is much of a difference...i mean i still feel the same. So, anyways...I miss you a lot and think about you all the time. I always find myself looking twice at people who resemble you...it's kind of scary but it makes me think of you. We were down Wildwood last weekend and on the boardwalk me and Ashleigh saw someone who looked like you, with the beard thing you had goin for a while and the blond hair. We both just looked at eachother and didn't even have to say what we were thinking.

So, yea...school starts again next week and I am not looking forward to it. I'll be taking the Cheltenham Police test in a couple weeks so I'm nervous about that! Wish me luck and help me get ready for it, I'm going to start at the gym this week too. I need to get crackin if i think I'm gonna be physically ready any time soon.

Well, I miss ya and love ya and can't wait to see your face again!

See ya when I see ya...

Joey,

Happy 21st Birthday!!!!!!! I can not beleive that you are 21 today -- it seems like yesterday you were just a baby. I was cleaning over the weekend and found some pictures of you and me when you were a baby and I used to babysit you. I can not beleive that we are not going to go out and celebrate you birthday. I miss you so much. Have to go back to work so I will talk to you later.

Love you and Miss you

HaPPY 21sT BiRtHdaY JoEY!!!

Hey u...

I'm sure your up there celebrating today, and it made me realize thinking about celebrating our 21st bdays that we kinda did a lot of celebrating up until now...I guess the only difference now is the number. I can't believe that your not here to celebrate you 21st birthday, one that everyone looks forward to but from what I hear, it's not much different. I'll let ya know for sure in 8 days...and counting! I know I can't wait to get out and live a little, but I think of you and what you are missing out on and realize, you have lived while you were here...you had LOTS of fun and left behind lots of memories, so I guess we can be grateful for that!

I hope you continue to watch over all of us that love you down here and enjoy your day :) I'll be by later to see ya, I miss ya and luv ya brO...

See ya when I see ya...

Hey Momma's Only Boy:

Happy Birthday! I can't believe you'd be 21 today. Anne and I are going to Six Flags to celebrate your big day with you. I know you'll be with us on the roller coasters. Don't drink too much up there in heaven. We all miss you so much.

hey u...

Today is a crappy day, it just got done raining like crazy. Last night the power went out at my apartment and it got sooooo hot. I miss you a lot and wish sometimes I can just call you and say whats up. It's hard a lot of the times when I see people we used to chill with in school because when I see them I expect you to be there too.

I's so stressed out lately with a lot of things going on right now. I'm throwing Alberto a suprise party tomorrow and I hope it all turns out good. Your mom and Anne helped by sending me a fake invitation to Anne's fake Bday party. That's what I'm using to get him to my mom's for the bash. It should be fun, but now that we're all turning 21 I wish you were here to celebrate with us. Don't you worry though...I'll do enough celebrating for the both of us! Keep a watch over me cuz I need it...help me get into the police dept. where I wanna go so I can save the world! LOL I know, but I can try.

Well, I'll see you when I see you and remember that even if your not physically here your always with me :)

I love ya and miss ya!

Hey Momma's Only Boy,

We just got back from Cancun. We took Brit with us as a graduation present. We had a great time and Dad wants to go back. Now that Dad and I are certified divers, he loves going to the Caribbean. We really missed you being with us. You would have enjoyed it, too. We know you were with us anyway.

We luv you and miss you so much.

Luv, Mom

I just wanted to say hi and let ya know that I miss ya! I wish there was something I could do to makes things seem more real and to stop this from seeming like a dream. Our birthdays are coming up soon...the big 21, I can't believe it! Finally able to LEGALLY get in bars and all...not much of a change but ya kno. I'll celebrate for you too as long as you keep me safe and out of trouble.

I really like working with the police department and I can't wait to start working with them for real. Well, I gotta go so I'll talk to ya later. I luv ya and miss ya!

Hey Momma's Only Boy:

Things were really hectic the last month. We moved Karlene and Chanel to an apartment on Bustleton Ave.; just a few blocks away. Chanel will be going to Anne Frank for kindergarten in September. She's a trip and makes Daddy and I laugh. Dad, Chris, and Jeffrey put on a new roof (what a job) and as always, Anne and I were the cleanup crew.

Anne made the dean's list this semester -- I know you're proud of her and we are, too.

We love you and miss you so much.

Luv Mom

Hey joey!

Its been a while since I wrote and I'm sorry. I think about you everyday but i ahve been having computer problems and I've been SOOO busy with school, work and now my internship. I'm working with the police and am going to take the Philly and Cheltenham tests soon. I know I won't be able to change the world but I'm going to try! There are a few things that need some help so I'll be there for that. Ashleigh's friend just got locked up and his mom just died unexpectedly so it's been real crazy around here lately. I'm teling you Joe this world is getting really scary. I'm at the police dept. now and it just cleared out because there's a man with a gun and a burglary that all the officers had to go to (I cant go cuz they dont want me getting shot) I guess thats a good idea for now.

I miss you so much and i'm gonna come see you again soon. I always want to go over to your house but I'm afraid I'll get all upset again, looking at your picture and talking to you in your room, it's just weird. Your mom, dad and Anne are really strong and I know you are watching over them every day. Keep doing what you do and I'll see you later. Come visit me in my dreams! I miss hearing your voice and seeing your smile. I miss you and love u Joey!

See ya when I see ya...

Hey

Just wanted to stop by and say hello. I miss you. A lot. I was sitting in the car yesterday and you just like popped into my head and I got really really sad. It was weird. I think about you every single day and I like didn't really for a couple days, I guess because I've been so busy and stressed out with classes that I barely have time to think about anything except for school and tests and stuff...and then all of sudden it like...hit me again. I don't want to go a day without thinking about you. I don't want to forget you. Ever. So I won't let that happen again. I carry your picture with me always =] and there's one right next to my bed. It's like demolished because I used to carry it everywhere with me until I got a new pretty laminated one...you can hardly even read your name on it anymore. Alright, goodnight Joeyyy, miss you always

Hey Joey - its gina I just wanted you to know that I really do miss you and I think that I can honestly say that we all do. I miss you driving done the street with your radio blasting and I just wanted to say that I miss that and I just wish that Icould have gooten to know you a little bit better. I know that it was your time to go but it makes me so sad. So if you could just do a little favor for me - I wanted to know if you could watch over Andrea, your mom, and your dad because they really need you and they really love you. (We all do!) See you in heaven!

Wutsup, Joe? It's Mike. It seems like yesterday you were still here and we would be shooting on Belle's basketball net. haha, way back when. I just can't believe it's been this as long as it has, but the sorrow hasn't gone with time. It seems cliche now, but i wish we would've spent more time together. The times we did spend were always pleasant ones, and that's how I shall always remember you.

April 12, 2006

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.

Guess who i saw today? Kevin! I haven't seen him in a minute and we were catching up on old times and he was saying how everyone is having babies lately. (Not me though!) Well, it made me think of you to see him since we always chilled at skating. Yea, we were saying how we can't believe your gone, which I don't think I'll ever feel is real.

So, I just wanted to say hi and let ya know your on my mind, as usual. I miss you a lot and look at your picture all the time. I gotta go, but I'll be back to talk to ya soon! See ya when I see ya...

hey joey...

like your mom said it's been crazy in the neighborhood lately. We always said nothing good ever happens around us...well here's our chance to be famous LOL That new house looks so big already with an inground pool and all. It's amazing how fast they are building it. I know if you were here we'd all be over there seeing what was going on all day and night.

Well, it's spring time again but it's still on the cold side. Alberto and I went down the races last weekend and it made me think of you. They're getting corney anymore though, always getting broken up. My best friend just lost his father this past weekend, he was a nice guy, a firefighter, tell him we said hi down here. I miss you so much Joey, there's not a day that goes by that I don't think of you and Nick and how I wish I could have had one more time to see or talk to you's. I know that ur know u were the brother I never had, and always will be! Well...I miss ya and luv ya and will talk to ya later!

See ya when I see ya...

Hey Momma's Only Boy:

We have some excitement in this quiet neighborhood. Extreme Makeover Home Edition has torn down Little Willy's house and is building a gigantic new one for his family. Our street is a circus and hundreds of people are walking around all day long. You always knew everything that was going on in the neighborhood because you had so many friends. You were the one who told me about Willy's family hardships years ago.

By the way, Willy is now almost 6 ft. tall.

I can't believe it's been a year and 4 months already. Boy how time flies--but I think of you every day. I've been seeing all of the neighborhood friends you grew up with and everybody is now in their 20s.

I luv you and miss you so much.

Luv, Mom

Hey Momma's Only Boy:

It's St. Patty's Day and I've been thinking about you alot this morning. Two years ago today you and Dad were skiing Vail (I just found all the shamrock stickers you collected that day--the stickers you put all over your snowboard).

Also, I was thinking about making Irish Potatoes--like I always made for you and Anne, but I wasn't up to it since you guys aren't here and I wasn't going to eat them myself.

I also just found my last birthday card from you--the one you handmade and sent to me from boot camp. I cried as I read it and then laughed when I saw the back where you wrote "Ghetto Placement Cards". You always found a way to make me laugh.

We miss you so much

Luv Mom

hey u!

I can't believe it's already march. It's so nice out today but it's supposed to rain later and get back to feeling like winter again.

I'ver been thinking about you a lot lately and I had a dream about ya but I can't remember what happened in it. I didn't wake up crying so I guess it was happy.

I saw your Mom yesterday, Anne just went back to school and is going through the stresses of being a college student. She's still doing really good though, as usual.

Well, I just wanted to say hi and all so I'll be back soon to write!

I miss ya & love ya!

Hey Momma's Only Boy:

I'm not having a good day; I've been thinking about you all day long. First, it snowed last night and we woke up this morning with over a foot of snow. Daddy was out all day snow-blowing the properties and I know he missed your help badly. I know the neighbors also miss you snow- blowing their pavements and driveways. You know how Ivory loves the snow. Every time I threw the ball for her today I thought of how you and Ivory loved to play in the snow together.

Secondly, we've been watching the snow-boarding events at the Olympics and since it's Sunday, I know you would have been here watching it with us.

Finally, I am now preparing a flyer for recipients of your scholarship fund. I want to give 2 $1000 scholarships this June to graduating seniors who are going to college. Also, I have a tentative date of October 6th for your next Beef and Beer.

We luv you and miss you so much.

hey u...

I'm just sitting here in school thinking about you. Remember back in the day when we used to wait at your house evry morning for the bus to school and in line after school and we would get so happy when she would pick us up. Then when we were in Baldi and now that i look back at those days, things were so easy then. I still can't believe that you won't be here to celebrate our 21st together, but hey I'll make sure I do enough celebrating for both of us. Remember when we used to tell people we were brother and sister and they would get so confused like why we dont live together and all, I still think of you as the brother I never had. I always see people around that remind me of you so much, it's scary! There's this kid in my classes that makes me think of you, he's like the class clown and always has something to say. That was you alright. I look at that picture I have of you and still can't believe its real and that I wont see that face again for a while, but it will be worth the wait. I'm sure your having fun up there...say hi to Nick for me and keep us all in check down here. We're supposed to get snow this weekend but who knows, if we do I'll be hibernating in my house until its done because I'm ready for winter to be over already. haha I'm sure if you were here you'd be snow blowing the block and counting your tips at the end of the day. I miss you Joey and can't wait to see you again...love ya!

See ya when I see ya...

Hey Momma's Only Boy:

The Steeler's won the Super Bowl--at least a team from PA finally won.

We had a dinner party for Pop-Pop Saturday night and we all know you and Skinner were with us in spirit. It was Nancy and Troy's B-day, too. Andrea came home for the weekend. It was nice having the whole family together--even Mom-Mom. This was the first time Mom-Mom and Pop-Pop saw little Johnnie. Johnnie was soooo good thru the entire dinner.

Tell Grams I said "Happy Birthday". I know you're keeping her company and making her laugh--you were always her favorite.

Tax season has started and I will be very busy for the next few months. Being busy helps me along. Sean's mom's in Florida for a few weeks so he's coming to dinner on Thursday. He asked for scalloped potatoes w/ham--one of your favorites.

We luv you and miss you very much.

Hey

I'm sitting here listening to 112 and I just like pictured sitting in your van at the wawa gas station on the way to Six Flags...you in the front seat, me and Anne in the back, and your mom driving. I miss that. I miss you. So many things remind me of you. Songs mostly. And I noticed that a lot of people have hair like yours. I have to look twice sometimes. Not a day goes by that I don't think of you. Alright...just wanted to stop by since I haven't written in here in awhile, and I've been thinking about you a lot lately, especially after I listened to that song. Andrea is out partyin' it up and I'm about to go to bed. I'm a loser, I know. Goodnight <333

Hey Momma's Only Boy:

Dad and I were in Colorado this past week and we went to Vail on Friday. We were supposed to go to Vail on Thursday, but it snowed for 2 days. I wanted so badly to go to the back bowls with dad but you know me, I need groomed trails and of course, the trails were all powder and Dad said he had a hard time and knew I wouldn't have enjoyed the skiing. Anyway, I've been thinking about you alot. I know you would have been with us if you were still here. I kept on thinking of you hot-dogging on your snowboard and intentionally pissing me off by coming at me very fast and plowing all the snow on me. At least I have those kinds of memories of us skiing together. There were also alot of Dads teaching their little kids how to ski. The kids were between their Dad's legs just like Dad taught you and Anne.

Today is Pop-Pop's 75th birthday and he misses you so much. Aunt Denise and I are planning a dinner party for him next week. We know it will be tough without you and Uncle Skinner. Let Skinner know I said hi since his guestbook is not available any more.

Luv you both and miss you so much!!

January 11, 2006

hey u!

I had a dream about you the other night. We were all chillin at my mom's house and you just strolled in shaking everyones hands and hugging people. Everyone else seemed normal but I kept on asking you why you were there and how you were there. I was so confused. You were wearing all white and had a white glow to ya. You didn't say anything the whole time but just you being there made everyone seem more happy. I was happy to see ya. Anyways, next time you come visit me say something! Oh yea, and I had a ghost in my house the other day and I'm getting the feeling it was you because it went right past my room real quick towards my living room and then the next day the speaker in the living room near your picture was knocked over and like a foot away from where it was supposed to be...weird huh?! Well, it's cool, I knew you would come back and mess with us. I guess I should consider myself lucky. Keep me in check and I'll keep ya in my prayers! I luv ya and miss ya! See ya when I see ya...

Christmas is coming already, time is flying, let me tell you! It's over a year already and I can't believe it. All I can keep telling myself is that you are in a better place where you are healthy, happy and safe. I know you are up there watching over all of us who love you down here. So...I have so many things to do and its rough! I have lots of studying to do and work and shopping, it seems like it never ends! Then right after New years I have to get my wisdom teeth out, I member when you go yours out and your face blew up, thats what I'm afraid of. At least you had enough guts to go out...I'm not leaving my house or even my room! Oh well, gotta do what I gotta do, right?! Anyways, I'm at work (of corse) so I g2g...Ill be back to write again soon...especially since this book is going to end soon. Say hi to Nick for me and make sure you guys keep watching over us, we need it! I love ya brO and miss ya lots!!! See ya when I see ya...

Sometimes I lay in bed and cry

I think about why yous both had to die

I feel so lonely as i lay in bed

and ask god why my two best friend are dead

One that was my favorite cousin

he would never let me down not for nuttin

the one that would be on my side not matter what

the one that would lie for me so i wouldnt get caught

we were two peas in a pod just like each other

you were more than a cuzin you were my big brother

The other was the closest of all

he was the one who would pick me up when i'd fall

Hes the first man that i loved

hes the one i will put noone above

hes the one that made me smile when i was down

but now he is nowhere to be found

I lay her in bed so sad

because god has takin the worlds best dad

So I guess I will just lay here in bed

While the pain of their abscents is running threw my head

Maybe tommorrow the pain will hurt less

But for now I'll shut my eyes and dream of the both of you at peace and rest

I know that I haven't been able to write to you because my stupid computer decides when it wants to work, and over my break one of the times it didn't work. I was thinking about you ALOT though, especially on Thanksgiving and friday. I talk to you all the time and i know that you hear me but it will never be the same without you here with all of us who love you. I need to go through all my old pictures, when i can figure out where they are, and take out pictures of you from when we were little. Those were the good old days, and I want to make a collage like Anne did or something like that. I have your pics in my wallet and in my house that I look at all the time. Well, I know you are watching over all of us down here, don't ever stop because we need it! Tell Nick I said hi and I'll talk to you both later. Luv ua brO...see ya when I see ya!

Hey Momma's Only Boy:

It's already a year since you had to leave,

I still can't believe you're gone--I always grieve,

When I am alone, I cry and think of you,

But when I hear Anne's voice, I stop feeling blue,

The holidays are here--it's gonna be tough,

But I have great memories and hope that's enough,

I miss you so much--your big hugs and your smile,

I know I'll see you again, but not for awhile,

Until then, I'll do my best and try to move on,

But when does it get easier--my loving son.

Kelly Lingenfelser (Luca)

Dear Joey,

Wow, I cannot beleive that it has been a year already. I miss you so much and wish that you were here. It has not been the same without you. Thanksgiving was so hard this year and I know that it will never be the same again. No one in the family really wanted to celebrate Thanksgiving this year, I know that I didn't. Well, alot has happened for me, I got married this month, and Anne was one of my bridesmaid she looked so pretty I know that you saw her, the family was there and they all had a great time, but not everyone was there -- you were not there and couple of other family members that should have been there were not there. I know that you all were there in spirit and looking down on me to share that moment with me and that you all were a part of my day. I think about you everyday and it is so hard, the only thing that really gets me through the day is when I look at your picture and see your smile or I remember the good times that we had. Well, What I wanted to say was that I love you and miss you very much and wish that you were here. Tell Uncle John that I said hello and that I miss him also. Talk to you later.

Love your cousin

I don't think Thanksgiving will ever be the same for anyone who has ever known you. You are truely missed no matter what day of the year it is. Joey, please continue to watch over your mom, dad, and Andrea, and give them the strenght each day that they need to get through without you here. The person who said "time heals all wounds" must never have experience the pain they we all have felt from you leaving this world so early.

Ashley

November 24, 2005

Hey,

Happy Thanksgiving. It'll be a year since you've been gone tomorrow and I still don't want to believe it. Everyone says time heals all wounds but I'm really having a hard time believing that. I think about you every single day and I keep your picture with me at all times and I know that will never change. I know this pain will never go away but hopefully it'll get easier as time goes on. Love and miss you always <3

November 23, 2005

hey joey...

I can't believe that a whole year has gone by already without you. I know that there have been times that we haven't seen eachother for a while and in my head that's what this is. Well, I guess it is cuz one day we'll be together again. There's this new eminem song out that makes me think of you in a way evertime I hear it and you know how I'm always talking about that pic of you that I love with your big smile...well thats why I think of you. Anyways, Thanksgiving is going to be real hard this year, especially for your family and I just hope they know that they are in my prayers every night and you know that I talk to you and Nick every night too. I miss you Joe and I wish I could have had one last time to see ya, but I do know that I got a hug the last time I saw ya and I'll always remember it...I'm sorry if I let you down in any way but I know that you are happy, healthy and safe now and forever and that makes me feel better! I love you brO and miss you so much! See ya when I see ya...

I know you're probably saying to carry on, don't mourn

Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice

Just know that I'm looking down on you smiling

So don't feel no pain

Just smile back

And that's what I'm gonna do because everytime I think of you or look at that pic I smile...

Life is short and our family has always been screwed up but but one thing great about us is nomatter how bad things can get we still love eachother. if i could have one wish I would wish for you and uncle Stanly and my daddy and all our family to be together once again on christmas just like we were when we were little kids. remember when uncle Kaz and my DaD dressed like santa and almost all of us were so scared we peed on their laps. memories are great. well gotta go we love you.and will see u soon.tell my daddy i love him and miss him sooo much.and that desiree looks just like him.thank you. love stephanie

Hey Momma's Only Boy:

Yesterday was tough, 11 months already and I still can't believe you're gone.

On a good note, last night Dad and I presented the first 2 scholarship awards in your memory. The boys graduated high school this past June and are in the Electrician Program at CHI Institute. CHI was kind enough to invite us, the students and their parents to their Executive Board dinner. The boys and their families, as well as the staff at CHI want us to let them know when your next Beef and Beer will be. They all want to come. I hope your next Fundraiser will be more successful than the first.

I'll see you in my dreams--luv you forever,

Thanksgiving will never be the same anymore but I will be thankful that I had the chance to be like your other sister and that you are in a better place now. Don't ever forget me and I'll never forget you...hey you should try to pull some strings up there and help me win the lotto! That would be nice...ha yea right! Well, you better come see me again soon...it's been a while and I miss seeing your face in my dreams, the last one I had you were walking around my house going thru the fridge (as usual) and one of my friends was there and she was saying how your so hot...it made me wake up smiling and I need some more of those lately!

hey joey...

I saw your mom yesterday and her tattoo looks so nice! I'm going to get one soon too, but I want to somehow incorporate it with my other one. I love the angel wings your mom and Anne got, so I might try to do something like that, I have an idea in mind.

Anyways, Halloween is coming up and I always think of the party you had one year when you chased me and Christin around the yard with that Jason mask on. You loved scaring us girls! It's almost one year since you've been gone and to make things worse I think I have to get my wisdom teeth out and that's the only time I have off school and can do it. When you got yours out last year you looked like a chipmunk but you were still out and about...I'm sure I'll be a little baby about it. Haha, I know you'll be laughing at me! Well, I miss you so much and still am waiting for you to come see me again in my dreams, I guess that is up to you though.

I g2g but I will be back to write soon! Talk to ya later and see ya when I see ya...

Hey Momma's Only Boy:

Anne's home from school this weekend and we got our tattoos. We were brave and I was thinking about you and know you were with us. We got angel wings with your name in the center. Aunt Denise, Brit and Kelly got angel wings, too. I saw you up there laughing at us when we were making those faces (because of the pain). We did it for you because you loved your tattoos. Anne's going back to school today and I won't see her for a month. I miss her being around and feel alone alot.

Halloween is right around the corner and I know that was your fav holiday. You loved scaring the kids with your Jason mask. I was thinking about pulling the costume out and stuffing it and sitting it outside. But I will probably cry every time I see it and I'm already having a tough time since it's football season and your anniversary is coming up.

We miss you dearly and luv you 4ever,

I've been thinking about you a lot lately and just wanted to let you know. I can't believe it has almost been a year since you've been gone, it still feels like you're going to pop up like you always did and randomly call me when you were out. I miss it but I know you hear me twalking to ya all the time in another way. You definately will never be gone in spirit and i think as long as i have that it will be okay. Plus, I know it's much better where you are now anyways. Oh yeah, I wrote on here a couple days ago and it never showed up, but I guess it will show up eventually. Ok, well i have to go to class (so fun!) so I'll be back to write soon. I miss ya and luv ya brO...

I'm sure you know that they lost their season opener monday night game the other night, yeah that was a little dissappointing considering the fact they went to the superbowl last year.

But anyways, I just wanted to say hi and let ya know that not a day goes by that i don't think about ya. I'm sure you know that though. Well don't fly too fast and I'll talk to ya later and see ya when I see ya!

Hey Momma's Only Boy:

We miss you very much--The last two weeks I was down OCMD--I was thinking about you alot and I know you were with me. The first week Jimmy and the kids were down. As I was watching Jimmy and Brandon in the ocean, I started to cry. I believe God took Jason but knew Jimmy would be raising the kids and never be alone. God took you knowing I had Daddy and Andrea and I would never be alone. Last Sunday night, I got back to OCMD from Penn State around 10PM. I remembered that the VMA Awards were on and around 10:40 I decided to turn on the channel to watch. The first person I saw was 50cent (your fav rapper). That was no accident; you did that. Also, on the beach the next day, there were 3 boys around 10-12 next to me digging a big hole. One kid then decided to get in and the other 2 boys covered him to his head. I was thinking about the time the girls buried you to your head. They then called his name and it was "Joey"--I started to cry and I know you did that too.

Anyway, Andrea is back at Penn State

with Ashley. They're rooming together. Hopefully, Andrea will feel better about being away; it's too soon to tell.

Also, Andrea will be 18 soon and wants a tatoo above her butt. Well, I decided to get one too and we're going to do it together for her birthday. We'd like to get angel wings with your name somehow blended in. Would you believe Daddy seemed OK with it. I guess because it will not be exposed.

Starting Tuesday, I am going on a diet and decided to start taking care of me. I also need to take Ivory to the vet for a checkup. She's getting old but I hope she's OK.

Luv you forever. Mom
