To the Krecker Family,
Although I do not know you personally, I want to let you know that you are in my family's thoughts and prayers. As a parent of a child at Maine South, it is beyond words to imagine the loss of such a young life with such great potential. It is so heartbreaking. Please know that there are many more people in the community than you know praying for you and Joe.
Sincerely,
Teri Collins

Jack, Annette and Michael,
We are truly sorry for your loss. We are praying for all of you and your family. My favorite Bible verse is Jeremiah 29:11..."For I know the plans that I have for you" declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you. Plans to give you a future and a hope." You are all in God's care, just look to Him for strength, comfort and guidance, and He will lead you through.

The krecker Family, ill never forget when my mom would give Joe and Mike rides home and they both would fool around with her and make her go down the wrong streets. It would last for a good couple of minutes. Ill never forget you Joe. My prayers are for you and your family. If you need anything Krecker Family just ask.

You have all been in my thoughts these last few days. I continue to keep remembering all the great memories we have of Joey. He made us laugh so much, he was such a practical joker and I don't know if alot of people knew that about him. Kevin and him had such good times together. He will be dearly missed in our hearts and mind. God bless.
