Kholu Joey

Nobody wrote in here for almost 14 years so I wanted to be the last person to say something to you. I go through this guest book all the time and I read what people say about you, and even though I never met you I look up to you because I want to be remembered how you are remembered. Mom and sitoo tell me stories all the time about you so it almost feels like I know you. I wish I met you though. Sitoo says that we would´ve been best friends all the time. Anyways I just wanted to let you know you haven´t been forgotten and everybody still loves you like you never left. Love you

I love you.

habibi joey i am down here and your way up there it feels like a lifetime before i will get there to hold you and kiss you and be by your side i don't feel there is a place i can hide from all the anger and hurt inside ..........i love you and miss you my angel love mom

my sweet joey

MY SWEET JOEY
I HAVE A KNOT IN MY CHEST THAT IS PAINFUL AS IF A KNIFE HAS PIERCED MY HEART
AND I KNOW THAT THE PAIN OF LOOSING YOU WILL BE WITH ME FOR ALL OF MY LIFE IT IS SO HARD TO ACCEPT THAT YOU HAD TO GO AWAY
MY DEAREST JOEY
I CRY FOR YOU EVERY DAY
I FEEL YOU WITH ME SOMTIMES AND THAT MAKES ME HAPPY FOR AWHILE
THE SADNESS IN MY HEART IS SO HARD TO BEAR AND CRYING IS MY ONLY RELEASE
MY ANGEL JOEY
REMEMBER THAT MY LOVE FOR YOU WILL NEVER DIE
AND I WILL MISS YOU FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE

my joey
why?
perhaps one day we'll understand
we hope to face the lord one day
and ask him why you could't stay
but untel that day you will alwys in my heart
i love you

my precious son
i wish i could see you one more time
walking through the door
buti know that is impossible
i will hear your voice no more
i know you can feel my tears and you don't want me to cry yet my heart is broken because i can't understand why
but i want you to know that i love you and no one can take your place
years may come and go but your memory will never be erased
i miss you

my son
my angel
i've cried rivers for you and oceans too.
i'll be asking that dreadful''why'' for the rest of my life.
you were never supposed to go before me!
dear god....why the hell did he have to die?
i would give anything to hear you scream!
i know you wouldn't want me to feel this way.


so just come back home
my joey

when i lost my joey my whole world is
shattered
my hopes and dreams are crushed
my heart is broken
my life is for ever changed
i feel as though i will never again find a moment of happiness
and then one day i finally do smile again. but suddenly i feel guilty
as if i somehow forgetting my angel
and then i realize it was my precious child who gave me that smile just to say i love you mom

i don't know how to feel it's all locked up inside
the emptyness is waking
the tears are running dry
my heart just doesnt realise that you are really gone
a loss that came so suddenly but will last my whoe life long
forgive me lord i'll always weep for the son i loved but could not keep
i miss you dearly
my sweet angel

there's a special angel in heaven that is a part of me it is not where i wanted him but god waneted him to be he was here 6 years ago like a nighttime shooting star and though he is in heaven he isn't very far
he touched the heart of many like only an angel can do
i would've held him every minute if the end i only know
so i send this special message to the heaven up above
pleas take care of my angel and send him all my love

days and months turn in to many years.
the nights still filled with dreams and tears
my arms are empty with no joey to hold
my heart feels heavy and the weather is cold
i know that you have gone to a much better place
but it doesn;t make it easier for the pain i have is still hear
i will never forget you
i love you my angel

god took you from this earth
but it wasn't time for you to go
he must have been mistaking
you had so much to live for
it couldn't have been your time
the hearts of those who love you will never heal
and everyday we wish it was a dream that none of it was real

we miss youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

if i coud have just any thing
my christmas wish would be
to wake up in the morinig and
find you here with me

i love

my sweet joey

sitting here thinking about you,
i here you call my name
mom mom mom
as i turn to see you i see no one, only hear your voice,
i miss you so much,
i keep telling you,
but you don't seem to hear me.
but i hear you,mom mom i love you bye

now all i do is talk to myself in the mirror, with my reflection
my heart is dead

my sweet joey we miss you dearly

but by god you were chosen,
untill i see you my baby
i love you sooooooooooooooooooooooooooomuch

my angel in heven

we miss you now,our hearts
are sor,as time gose by we

your loving smile,your gentle
face,no one can fill your
vacant place

my joey my sweet joey
i miss you

my sweel angel joey

in my dreams you are alive and well
in my mind i see you clear as a bell
in my soul there is a hole that can never be filled but in my heart there is hope because you are with me still
in my plans i was the first to leave but in this world i was left here to grieve
in my soul there is a hole that can never be filled but in my heart there is and you are with me still
god knows i want to hold you,see you,touch you
and when we are both in heaven on that day-i will again
please know you are not forgotten
untill then in my heart you live on always there,never gone

precious joey you left tooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
soon

it mayb true that we are apart
but you will live- forever-in my heart

if tears could build a stairway,and memories were a lane.i would walk right up to heaven, to bring you home again.
no farewell words were spoken,
no times to say good -bye.
you were gone befoe i knew it,
and only god knows why.
my heart still aches in sadness,and secret tesrs still flow.
what it meant to lose you,
no one will ever know.
you and angels around gods happy throne.
i would have held you closer if i had known

oh sweet angel of mine.




you will live forever in my heart

joeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey

Missing you more each day, I love you Joey. Watch over me my gaurdian angel.

Hey Joe, I was just thinking about the good old times like when you use to tell me there was a rule book about single moms...lol. How you loved Sean Paul, give me the light. You use to bump it in the shop. I know it's been a while since I've wrote you, but believe me when I say I haven't forgotten about you. Just wanted to show my love. God bless and see you in another life time. P.S. Jim Vodnik says he knows your happy because the Giants won this year!!!

Four years passed ....

These young souls are not forgotten. My thoughts and prayers are with you. May God bless and keep you.

Joey I think about you every day always remembering.. I miss and love you

Happy Birthday Joey I know its a couple of days late. I had a dream about you the other night and you looked so happy, and so happy to see me. I hope you still think about me cause I still think about you and George all the time.

I was thinking of you today as I think of you often. I miss you and I love you. You were the best cousin and friend, and I miss you everyday.

OUR
DARLING JOEY THREE YEARS AND NOT A DAY GOES BY AND WE DO NOT THINK ABOUT
YOU!!! LIFE HAS CHANGED FOR MANY OF US AFTER YOUR DEATH, BUT WE KNOW WE
HAVE AN ANGEL LOOKING OVER US!!! LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU MORE THAN WORD
CAN SAY!!! UNTIL WE SEE YOU AGAIN KEEP WATCHING OVER US!!!

Joey, habib elbna I miss you cuz

Joey, I miss you so much this doesn't get any easier. My car is turning to crap without you! You and George were my favorite cousins(Dont worry Kristina if your reading this your my favorite after them). I still remember the time when joe and robbie went down to irving like 12 years ago and you drove by and you said hi to them and everyone was like "you know him to joe and robbie, and they were like yea. Then everybody was like thats JOE AZAR! Like you were the coolest person on the planet!!!!!!! And like a nerd everytime we told you the story you were cheesin it and you would do that same laugh you always do! I love you and I miss you.

Joe! its 11:39 pm in vegas. i just want to let you know i have not forgotten you. i will never forget the times we had. the laughs, the games, and most important the talks we had. i miss you very much, and i just wanted to say hi, and i look at the picture of us everyday in my office, and i know you were a true friend. i love you man! i know you are looking down from heaven and smiling at the good times we had.i will talk to you soon! i miss you!

It's taken me almost three years to accept that you're gone. I still remember your laugh, smile and most importantly your friendship. Raza, I know you and the boys moved on to a bigger and better place. I know that you guys are fine. But, my own selfishness wishes you guys were still here. I miss you Buddy, and I hope that your death has touched as many lives as your life did. I hope that your death was not in vein and everyone appreciates how important it is to appreciate every second of everyday. I Love you guys and miss you all a great deal.

I miss & love you.
Watch over me, protect me, my gaurdian angel<3

happy birthday joe we miss you.

Happy Birthday Joey

I have trouble accepting the fact that you're gone, so I wont...

It'll be like we went for awhile without seeing each other.

But I can see why God would want you closer to him,

cause you truly were an angel on Earth.

AFTER TWO YEARS AN IT STILL SEEMS SO UNREAL,NOT A DAY GOES BY THE YOU ARE NOT THOUGHT OFF AND MISSED. WE LOVE YOU AND HOPE TO ONE DAY SEE YOU AGEIN!!!

happy birthday joey!

your uncle,angelica paula,& myself

miss you.

Joey Sweetheart,

I don't know what to say. I know your birthday is coming soon... on the 10th. Your mom and dad are so sad without you.

I saw you in my dream and you said, " I know you are mad at me." I'm never mad at you Joey.

I love you and I miss you so much.



Love,

Hi Joe,

I am so mad, so upset. Last thing Danny told me was, "Mom, I'm goin over to Joe Azar's house" March 19th. Since that day, I sit and ask, 'Why? Why didn't you guys just stay at home. Why did you have to go out that evening?"

When Danny was in college, you used to check on me, call me to see if I needed anything. You said it's what Danny would've wanted. Now I don't have you here checking up on me, asking whether I needed anything.

I believe you, Danny and Joe are very happy with God - but we are suffereing here on earth.

Joe, I loved you before, I love you now, I love you FOREVER. I will NEVER forget you.

Love

JOE! ITS BEEN A YEAR. AND I CANT SAY ITS BEEN AN EASY ONE. I MISS YOU SO MUCH. SUNDAYS ARE JUST NOT THE SAME. WORKS NOT THE SAME. LIFES NOT THE SAME. I JUST WENT TO THE CASINO RECENTLY WITH JIM VODNIK, BUT I HAVE TO SAY ITS JUST NOT THE SAME. WE TALK ABOUT YOU ALOT AND THE GOOD OLD DAYS, BUT BEING ON THE TABLE WITHOUT YOU NEXT TO ME JUST ISNT THE SAME. I MISS YOU SO MUCH. I KNOW YOUR IN A BETTER PLACE AND I KNOW YOUR HAPPY. I WILL NEVER FORGET YOU MY FRIEND. I LOVE YOU JOE. TALK TO YOU REAL SOON BROTHER. YOUR FRIEND, SVEN.

Joey,

Its officially been a year today since you been gone..Today I went to church for the 1 year memorial and it was so weird how they were mentioning your name..I couldnt believe it...Its so weird with out you around..I saw you everywhere I went and now all I have is memories of you..You used to always know how to make everyone laugh especially me..or when I was little you used to lock me in the closet and I would hear you and susie laughing at me..or the day when I went to visit you at work with David at your car shop and you chased me around the parking lot with oil on your hands, or even when you and everybody else would make fun of me..You wernt just a cousin your were like a brother. Everybody knew you for your funny jokes you were such a great person to be around, its so weird going to your house and having it be so quiet. Not a day goes by that I dont think about you..and thats the truth! I can't believe this happened to such a great man..You were the best I dont care what anyone says..

Miss you Joey..RIP you might be gone, but never forgotten..

OH JOEY!!!! Its been 7 or 8 months now!! I still cant believe your gone. I can never stop thinking about you, I can never stop talkin about you. Words cant explain about how much I love you. You were just the best person I'v ever met. I miss seeing that big happy smile on your face. Everytime I saw you.... you had a smile on. You were such a happy person. So full of life. I'm so proud to be your little cousin. I could'nt ask for a beter cousin. I was so blessed to have a cousin like you. Nothing made me happier when I was with you. You touched my heart in many you can image. You filled my heart with joy, happieness, and laughter. No one coule ever do that... but you. And those feelings are still with me. And they will always stay in my heart. You tought me alot of things.... you were like a second mother to me. When I was with you I was the most happeiest person on earth because you were so much fun to hang out wtih. I'm so miserable without you. But your not gone! You are still in my heart and you always will be. The thing I loved about you is that you would never do anything to hurt anyone. You had a heart MADE OF PURE GOLD. I am going to miss how I felt around you. But, those feeling are still with me. Cause I know you are always watching over me. You are my ANGEL..... My life is not the same without you. Theres like an empty space inside of me now. And you were the only person that could fill it with lots of love and happeiness and alot more. Joey I love you so so so much!!! I will never ever forget you. May God Be With You. I am not going to say goodbye beause one day I will see you so...... c~ya later joey.

Joey Joey Joey



We miss you....It was so much fun seeing you around..you always would yell at me because I wasn't taking care of my car..you said even though it looks good on the outside..the engine is worn out...change your oil! stop pressing hard on your breaks! and I would just say Yadda Yadda Yadda..and you would laugh!



Joey, Samboy is not taking this well at all...The day you four left us is the birthday of my neice..(who was going to be your GodDaughter)...Samboy's daughter turned one....Sam said he will always remember your death because it will be the day of his daughters birthday. I hope you guys are ok up there and watching over us....I remember when we were kids and you were always the one getting into trouble you were so cute and Susie was always dressed in her cute dresses with her hair always done pretty and your mom so beautiful! I always admired her! Those memories will always be in my heart. Everytime I get an oil change or press on my breaks I think about you...



Please watch over us Joe...we all love you and YOU will never be forgotten...



Love

Diana

My brother,



I feel like when I write in this guestbook, that somehow you are hearing my words and my feelings. I feel as if I am writing you like I always did when you moved away from home. I know that your spirit is alive and you know what I'm feeling and how much I miss you. It hasn't gotten easier without you here. People lie when they say that. It's just that I've learned to deal with things in a way I never thought I would have to. Walking through life in a daze sometimes - thinking about you every second. Do you know that you are going to be an uncle? Do you know that you would be the best uncle in the world? I'm sure you do, just like how you would be the best dad in the world. I just wish you had the chance to be because I knew that's what you always wanted in your life. But don't worry, Joe, your niece or nephew will grow up in your footsteps. You will live through that baby. It hurt me that night I found out that I couldn't call you and tell because I know you wouldn't be the happiest out of everyone. Chris said, "Let's call my brother and tell hime." I just broke down because I couldn't say that. It pains me to think of the day I give birth because you won't be there to hold your niece or nephew. Who'll pass out teh cigars?? But I know that your spirit will be there and it will feel so bittersweet. So, Uncle Joe, I hope your spirit gets this message from God and know that i love you and miss you and can't wait to see you again.



Your sister,

Sue

DEAR JOEY

I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW MANY TIMES I'VE TRIED TO WRITE THIS YOU. EVERYTIME I START TYPING, I START CRYING AND I JUST CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE. I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU ARE NOT HERE ANYMORE. I MISS YOU SO MUCH. I THINK ABOUT YOU ALL OF THE TIME. ALL I DO IS TALK ABOUT YOU AND HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU. YOU WERE AN OLDER BROTHER TO ME. I KNEW I COULD ALWAYS COUNT ON YOU. I LOVED BEING AROUND YOU. I LOVED HEARING THE DOOR BELL RING EVERY DAY AT 1 P.M. AND SEEING YOUR FACE. EVERY SINGLE DAY I SAW YOU, NOT ONE DAY PASSED THAT I DIDNT' SEE YOU OR HEAR FROM YOU AND NOW, NOW NOTHING. THE ONLY TIME I SEE YOU IS IN PICTURES, YOUR PICTURE IS ALL OVER MY HOUSE. EVERY ROOM YOU GO INTO IS A PICTURE OF YOU AND GEORGE.THE ONLY TIME I HEAR YOUR VOICE IS FROM THE CD WE HAVE OF YOU. LIFE IS NOT THE SAME WITHOUT YOU, IT NEVER WILL BE. I WALK TO YOUR HOUSE, I SIT INFRONT OF YOUR PICTURES AND I CRY. I GO TO VISIT YOU AND GEORGE AT THE MOSELEM, IT JUST DOESN'T FEEL REAL. I KEEP HOPING YOU WILL CALL ME OR WALK THROUGH THE DOORS. I LOVE YOU SOO MUCH JOEY AND YOU WILL ALWAYS BE IN MY MEMORIES. YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN. I LOVE YOU

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!



LOVE,

UNCLE GHAZI,AUNT DIANA,

ANGELICA AND PAULA

When at night

We lay to sleep,

We look up to the sky

And begin to weep.



We know you are in Heaven,

Smiling from above,

Spreading your wings,

Soaring as a dove.



Into God’s kingdom you soared

As an angel in the sky,

You left us so suddenly,

It’s too hard to say good-bye.



So instead I’ll say:

Soon I will see

You and your friends,

Reuniting with we.



We, the Arabic community,

Your family to the end,

You will never be forgotten,

You’ll always be a friend.



A friend to us all,

In Christ, a brother, too,

Your memory lives on,

We love and miss you.

Dear Joey,

What can I say... you were like a younger brother to me. I remember all the times you, Mark, Pete and all the other guys hanging out at my house. We all loved you so much. When you moved to michigan i felt like one of my brothers had moved here. I still remember all the times you would come hang out with us and help Sam fix the cars. You will be missed so much. You will always be in my heart and in my prayers. I love you Joey.

Love you so much! can't wait till the day i see u in HEAVEN!!

Dear Joe,



Growing up I knew you. Then you grew up some more and I didn't see you as much. I know more about you now than I ever did. I know that you are a very loved, young man by many,not just family. You were a faithful friend, a respected brother and a son who was absolutely adored. I can only wish that tragic day never happend, but it did. Please watch over your mother, father and sister. They need you. You were everything to them and now you are not here. Take care of everyone up there. I know you can. Lourice, habeebtah, you are in my thoughts and prayers everyday. Not a day goes by that I don't think of you and the other mothers. I can't imagine the pain you are feeling. All I can tell you is that you have a husband, daughter, brothers and sisters who love you deeply and need you. Please try be strong. May God bless all of you.

Hey,joey this is your cousin paula.I miss you so much! I remembered when we always used too play around and how you always used too bite me. Thats when I starded calling you hannibal. Joey you were my favorite cousin and you always will be. Your always going to be the oldest in our family. Always,Always, and Always..... I can't stop thinking about you!Everyday is getting harder and harder without you.

JOEY you were my favorite cuz you wud always play around with me and all of our cousins you always used to bite us n pick us up. JOEY you were like a brother too me you lived down the street from me i would see you mostly everyday. everytime you would ask me to do something no mater if it was hard or easy i loved doing it i loved when you would say my name because i got so happy. i looked up to you so much i wanted to be just like you everything you would say or do i would try doing that or saying it just like you, and since you left its been so wierd going to your house and not seeing you there and you not say my name so i could do something for you. Same thing when i go to george's house he isnt going to be there it feel so wierd and doesnt feel like use have left. JOEY i love you and always will i will miss you every single day i will think about you so dont think i will forget about you

To the Azar family:

I am so sorry for your loss, the say that god only takes the best and i never beleived that until he took our boys. May God give you the strength to cope with this . My prayers and thoughts are with u always

How could i start this...I was just like yesterday you were smiling, laughing, basically happy. You have a smile that lights up the room. Aunt laurice, you've basically been like a second mom to me. You taught me things I've thought I'd never learn. You made me laugh, you made me cry, you made me smile..you did everything a great mother would do. When I see you cry, I cry. When I see you depressed, Im depressed. Joes in Heaven looking down on us and watching you guys pray for him. We all wish we could turn back the hands of time, I know I do. I know you and everyone else would give everything and anything to hear just half of those boy's breath. Eventhough Joe can't be here physically, He's in you Aunt laurice, uncle mehdi, & sue. Everytime i see any of you guys...i see Joe just by looking through your eyes. He's still and will always be here through our hearts and memories. Im sorry for your loss. I love you Aunt Laurice, Uncle Mehdi, Sue, & the rest of the family. God Bless you & your families. Let this be the end of your sorrow.

Joe,

I'm not really sure how to start this letter, because I should be able to tell you this in person. I have put off writing this letter because I knew how hard it would be...but after my dream the other night I feel that I want to even more. Although it woke me up in the middle of the night with tears, it made me feel comforted at the same time seeing you the way I last did here at home. In this dream I looked at you, you grabbed my hand, and pulled me toward you to give you a hug. You looked so great and hearing your voice was a wonderful feeling.

Joe, you are my third brother, especially with growing close to you living with us. My family took the news as hard as if you were one of us. My brothers will never be the same. We all tear up when we talk about things you did or said. Abe's wedding was not the same without you there...but we had a white rose in your place and Fadi mentioned you in his speech at the dinner. We have such great memories of you, and we love you with all our hearts. Although your exterior image was a little tough, you had the most unbelievable heart. Jeremy and I talk about you all the time and miss you more than we can put into words. Now that time is slowly passing, it is easier to begin remembering all of the good memories, putting a smile on my face.



Mehdi, Laurice, and Sue,

My heart aches for you trying to understand what you are going through at this time. You are always on our minds and we are always here for you whenever you need us, just as much as you have always been there for us. We love you all so very much and are keeping you in our prayers.



Love always,

Lisa

Joe,

It seems just like yesterday when we had called you to come and check out our car for us. It's still very hard to believe your not here with us. I'm at your house practically every day. Your family is doing the best they can do, but it seems to me that they are just holding it together for our sake. You mom screams, crys, so totally devasted. Your father, not a sound comes from him. I guess he thinks he's a man so he has to be strong for everyone else, trying not to show his emotions. Or maybe the pain so much that he has to hold it all in trying not to feel so much pain all at once. Your sister, quietly cries so as to not let mom or dad see her. She's trying to stay strong for them. Chris has been a piller of strength, even though you know it's tearing him up inside, without him your family wouldn't have been able to cope with the devastion of losing you. I wish there is something I can do to ease their pain, but nothing that I say or do can help. You are so very loved and so missed, that no matter what anyone says or does can ease this horrible pain. All we can do is go on. Taking one day at a time. Trying somehow to have some sort of a normal life without you. I know you're better off where you are--really I believe that, but it's so hard for us to try to get on without you. Everywhere we go, everything we do brings back memories of you. Everyone says in time it will get easier. How is that possible? If anything it's getting harder. On April 25th, we'll be having the 40th memorial service for you and the boys. That's supposed to be a joyous day, the day our Lord wraps his arms around you and keeps safe with him for all eternity. Even though your're not here with us phyiscally, your spirit will still be here --watching over us like a guardian angel. We love you so much and we miss you so very much. Please visit us in our dreams so that we may see that smile again and hear that laugh again, Oh! that laugh of yours! YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN! May God rest your soul in peace. We love you.

Azar Family,

You are in our thoughts and prayers in this difficult time. We are so saddened by your loss. May Joe's memory be eternal.

Laurice, Mehdi,and Sue



I am so very sorry for your lost. This town will never be the same again. Joey, George, Danny and Joe will all be missed. Laurice, I have always admired you and I have always respected you ever since I was a little girl.



Joey will be very missed and we can all be fortunate to have such a great guardian angel watching over us all. That is how Joey was he had the biggest heart ever!



Love,



Diana Al-khal

You meant so very much to us and you know it's true, but all we have now are these tears when we think of you. We've tried so hard to move on, but our thoughts won't go away and with those pleasant thoughts of you, these teardrops seem to stay. Did it have to be and if so we just can't see the purpose for taking you from us. What should we do, our heart's in two. We truly miss you. You will always be in our thoughts and prayers. God Bless you all!!

Sincere condolences on your loss.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

A million times we miss you,

A million tears we have cried;

If LOVE could have saved you,

You NEVER would have died.

A smile for all, a heart of gold

One of the best, this world

could hold.

Deep in our hearts you will

always stay -

Loved and Remembered Every Day.....

Our sincerest condolences for your loss. Words can not express our sorrow at the untimely death of these young and wonderful boys. You are always in our thoughts.

Dear Joe,



I had the opportunity to meet you through Danny. You were an awesome friend to Danny. I wish I got to spend more time with you both. May you both rest in peace and your memory be eternal. For the families my thoughts and prayers are with you and may God be with you in this time of sorrow.



Love,

Please except our deepest condolences. We are all sad about your loss, God bless you.

Dear Laurice, Naziha and family,

I am a very good friend of your cousin Amina. I was so sadden to hear the loss of these four terrific gentlemen, this is probaby why its taken so long for me to write to you, I thought the right word would come to me but they never came. The loss of a child is the most painful hurt for a mother to endure. I want to express my sincerest condolences, my heart goes out to you and your family.



I remember someone once told me that

God has this beautiful garden in heaven and he hand selects all of his flowers. The day Joey, George, Danny and Joe left our world God picked them just to add alittle more sunshine in his garden...So you see Laurice and Naziha one day you will pick a flower and smell it and you will smile because you know that your sons made God's garden perfect, just like they made your lives here on earth perfect.



All my Love,

from my family to yours

My deepest sympathy to the four families that lost loved ones. I worked with Joe at the toyota dealership in vegas, there were alot of fun times when he was there, much time spend talking about sports and various other things. Joe always seemed to be able to stir the pot, and make things more interesting. We were sorry to see him move back home, but that was what he needed to do, to be with his family. I appreciate the time he spent with us, God Bless his family and friends. Go Giants! Greg

Joey you will always be remembered! You were nothing but a brother to us...You were always there for my brothers when they needed you most, and now your gone....Its a shame to loose all four of you guys, you guys did nothing to deserve this..I just want you to know, you will always be in our hearts. God bless Mehdi, Laurice, and Susie Azar! R.I.P JOEY!!

Joey you will always be remembered! You were nothing but another brother or son to us. When we found out, we were all shocked...I know my brothers couldnt even have the courage to speak to anyone. Your were such a good man, all four of you guys! You guys didnt deserve this..All we can do now is be there for your mom and dad and especially susie! Now its goodbye and hopefully one day we will meet up with you..R.I.P

What can I say? Joe was the most outgoing person I've met. He always knew what to say to make people smile or laugh. I'll always remember our lunches together and the last time I saw him. I still have the pictures that we took when we all went out to TGIFridays for his last day at work. He told me if I didn't go he would never talk to me in his life. Thank God that I did go! My heart goes out to his parents, I know what it feels like to lose a loved one. May God Bless and heal your pain.

JOE I WILL NEVER FORGET YOU, AND WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU. ONE DAY WE WILL MEET UP AGAIN. GOD BLESS

Dan, Joe & Joe,



There is so much I want to say but I can not think of what words to use. All I can say is thank you for all the wonderful memories. Friends like you are hard to find. All the fun times we had I will never forget. I am very proud of all of you and I was very lucky to have all of you as friends. I take that back, not friends but brothers. I do not know how I can move on with my life without you guys. Every day from now on is going to be rough knowing you will not be there. My life has been changed forever. There is no future for me without all of you. I would always let people know that my friends were the best people in the whole world. The people who knew you can never say one bad thing about any of you. I wish I would have let you know how much I loved you guys and how much you all meant to me. I know we will all see each other soon. You will never be forgotten and you will all be in my heart forever.



Love,

Our deepest condolences.

Joe I will forever miss you! As I sit here pondering why it was you and your friends that were violently snatched away from us,I look back at all the good times that we had in Dieruff High School. I know that your sister Sue graduated with me and you were a year before her. I will never forget the memories that we had I know that we only spoke occasionally but it was those occasions that I will remember the most. You are in a much better place now, and to the Azar family my heart goes out to you! I am heartbroken at your loss. If you need anything please let me know ok! We are not strangers OK! We are in this all together. You have my sympathies. May God Bless Joe, and may God Bless the entire Azar family. With my deepest condolences and sympathies, Kristine Joy Memari.

I AM DEEPLY SORRY FOR THE LOSS OF FOUR GREAT MEN. I WAS A FRIEND OF JOE'S FROM LAS VEGAS. HE WAS A CLOSE FRIEND OF MINE THAT WE HAD SHARED ALOT OF GOOD TIMES TOGETHER. I CANT BEGIN TOO TELL YOU HOW SORRY I AM. HE WAS ALWAYS SOMEONE THAT WAS THERE FOR ME, NO MATTER WHAT, IF I NEEDED SOMEONE TO TALK TOO, OR JUST HANG OUT TOGETHER, HE WAS ALWAYS A FRIEND. I WILL MISS HIM DEEPLY AND MAY HE REST IN PEACE. I LOVE YOU JOE. YOUR FRIEND SVEN.
