Diane & Rex,
I just found out about Joey, I am so very sorry for your loss. I will always remember the story of him when he was little, going on the bus to get building supplies for his fort in your yard. It was insulation wasn't it. Your hearts are heavy now, but your memories will keep him close.
Love you
