Very disappointed, I didn't know of Joey's death until a week later. His parents devoted their lives to him and loved him very much. Glad he had special time with his mom together at Allied. Now he's joined his dad and Uncle Tom, may they rest in peace. I hope Jayne finds comfort knowing her guys are together and watching over her. Be well Jayne . Love you. Your family, Janet Tommie Donna Linda and Jimmie Fenton
