Papa Joe!
Where do i start? Well i can honestly say that he was the kindest most sweetest man ever to walk the face of this earth. The last couple months of Joey III living with him is when i really began to bond with Joe. I can remember giving him a helping hand with anything he needed, as he always had an open ear when i needed someone to talk to. His stories and wisdom put me in awe. And Truthfully, i wouldnt have another person feed me burnt toast and crackers in their underwear but Papa Joe. From the very bottom of my heart i will miss this man to the moon and back. He may not be here in a physical sense, but his spirit will stay with me until the day i join him in paradise. We shouldnt blame god for this tragedy, he only broke our hearts to prove to us he takes the best. Rest in peace Papa, i love you more than you'll ever know <3 xox

As a very small boy I well remember walking home from 17th street school dodging unwanted meetings with school yard bullies or dawdling with my older brother who turned slow into an art form. We lived upstairs in a ramshackle place on Lynwood Avenue but I was blessed to have Bishara Bros between school and home. You see they were my Uncles and when I walked into that store Frank, Carl & Joe would welcome me with such a commotion that I felt like the luckiest kid in the Falls. I never felt so special as when I was with them. My Uncle Joe could always make me laugh and even when Uncle Frank was in a mood Uncle Joe could make him laugh. He had that gift. He and his brothers looked after my Mother during these years and always plied me with pop and ice cream during my store visits. When I brought my kids to the store years later they received the same joyous treatment. Uncle Joe, I'm convinced, had a small child deep inside that one could spot by the glint in his eye. Talking to him forty years later I still felt that; it was the essence of Joe, kindness and love. I guess my memories of him will have to stand for now because the last Bishara Brother has gone home.

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.
