My brother was an amazing person. He was genuinely a lovable and kind individual and I will miss him dearly. He adored and enjoyed his four children growing up and always spoke so lovingly about them to our mum and dad. He was so proud of what they've become, and I'm filled with such sadness thinking of their loss. Grief is the price we pay for love. I love you, Joe. Always. Joni.
