Not only your parents miss you and wish you were still here. I know you have moved on to bigger and better things but I know you have also visited in dreams which means you still have a connection to your life.

Hey Joey~ I was too late in my attempts to reconnect with you but I try to visit here and say "hi" when I can. I hope you're able to look after your mom because she's missing you so much so please try to find as many ways as you can to let her know you're all right. I know it's a lot to even assume you have internet and know to read the messages left for you but it doesn't hurt to hope and ask.

Hola :) mi hijito de mi alma, como te extrano. Today Mother's Day I miss you so,,,, but that is nothing new; you know I miss you everyday... even in my dreams. How was I to know 'that Mother's Day' - was the last time you would bring me flowers! Sometimes people say "time cures it all" - "the pain diminishes" - no - the pain is the same, we just have to learn to live with it, hide our tears - because life has to go on! We must hide our pain so deep in our hearts so that we can be strong to be able to help others and be strong - for our loved ones that need us... be strong and try to be happy for our beautiful babies. They grow up so fast. Caro, Jakey and Juliet our beautiful grandchildren :) Wendy is a beautiful loving daughter and loving Mom! I know she misses you so.... wished you were here for her as well. Dad and I miss you and love you so,,,so much!
The best gift our Lord gave us - our beautiful - loving children! :) Mom

Hola m'jito. Lo mas hermoso de mi vida. Tu y tu hermanita y ahora nuestros nietos... el regalo mas precioso que Dios nos dio. El tiempo pasa pero la tristeza se vuelve peor. Sonrisas....lagrimas. Nadie lo comprende solamente una madre que ha perdido a su hijo, un padre como el tuyo que Dios te dio. Un padre que tanto los quiso, y los sigue amando a traves de su vida. !Aun asi, a traves de mis lagrimas, me siento aun mas triste por aquellas madres y aquellos padres que han perdido sus hijos en condiciones tragicas! Tu siempre supiste lo mucho que te amamos desde que por primera vez te tuve en mis brazos... como siempre te he dicho el regalo mas precioso que Dios le puede brindar a una joven madre. Esa alegria que regocija no solo su corazon, sino que todo su ser, el ser madre por primera vez. Siempre fuiste tan querido por todos...toda la familia. Dios te dio un corazon tan lindo, el espiritu de bondad. Perdoname, si no fui lo suficiente fuerte o sabia para ayudarte mas en tu tristeza, en tu necesidad. Quiza cuando mas nos necesitabas no estabamos contigo, no supimos que hacer. Tu sabes que nunca fue falta de amor! Hasta pronto m'jito de mi alma. :) Con todo mi amor.

Happy 45th Birthday in Heaven, my beautiful son. !!! We love you so much and continue to miss you. As always, words cannot express how much you are missed, how much you are loved. You continue to be in our daily lives, always in our hearts. I enjoy telling our grandchildren... your nephew Jakey and your nieces Caro and Juliet about you. How great it could have been to have you here talking, playing with them and helping them to enjoy a richer life with you around.
We love you my beautiful son :)

Happy Easter 2018. You have given me the "Best Easter" ... you visited me in my dream.. this morning. I was so happy, I kept saying "give me
a hug." I gave you a couple of hugs, and was yelling at Wendy... "Wendy, look who is here" ... and you kept looking at me with that beautiful, sweet smile of yours! Joyous Saturday !!! I love you. You are so loved!!! I had asked you to visit me in my dreams, I was sad, I prayed to God to allow you to visit me. Thank you my beautiful baby boy, thank you God for listening to my prayers :)

My beautiful baby boy, we miss you so... I can't believe how time has just passed by 8 years, eight sad years for us. It is so hard not to think .. only if.. what if we ... so many thoughts pass through my mind, but it is too late now. How I wished I would have been a wiser mom, if only I could have understood your pain, your need better. I cried out to God for wisdom, help, but it was not enough. Please forgive me, I love you with all my heart. I always remember that beautiful feeling of holding you in my arms for the first time, a special Love unlike any other feeling - a Mom holding her little baby for the first time in her arms!What a wonderful feeling. I love you - Mom

Merry Christmas! ... my beautiful Joey, we miss you, not a day goes by . . . you are always in our hearts and thoughts; you know it :} Jakey said: "right, Mama Alba, if uncle Joey were here he would teach me to play saxophone?" it makes me happy, brings a smile to my heart when I listen to him talking about you. I always tell him how much you loved him... but it also makes me feel sad. So sad, because he is missing out in getting to know you! I love you my beautiful son. You know how much Dad misses you - he can hardly keep himself from crying everyday. We all love you and miss you so! Wendy tries to be strong for us. I know in my heart - your Spirit rejoices with our Lord! We all love and miss you... We must go on for our beautiful babies, be strong and be there for them as much as we can. They would have brought so much happiness to you as well :) Love you, Mom.

Happy Birthday!!! We miss you so .... can't help but wonder, what our lives would be like with you here with us. How you would love to play with Caro, Jakey and Baby Princess Juliet! What a great role - loving model your would have been for them. I daydream about how beautiful your babies would be ... and what a kind heart they would have! My beautiful son ... forever in our hearts, until we meet again :} Mom

My beautiful child !!! Time passes by, hard to believe it has been seven years . . - day by day - the pain of not seeing you, hearing your voice is unbearable! You are so loved, so missed. Lauren's baby girl twins were just born on January 16, Baby Drew (Andy & Rebeca) turned one year old just yesterday and Aiden (Taylor's) will be two years old tomorrow. Beautiful babies! In my heart I'd like to think your kind and loving spirit lives on with the birth of these babies so close to the day you left us. Last night - January 19th - Jakey had his movie premiere -rode a limo - starred in two movies- fun times. He and his little friends really enjoyed the show! He is such a good little boy, inquisitive and smart. Grandma Cookie sees a lot of you in Jakey, as well. Juliet is precious, Caroline is so pretty and smart. Our grand children are a blessing and a little distraction to Dad and me. We love you and miss you so. I would really like to believe in my heart you are rejoicing with God. Love you dearly my beautiful son, 'miss you so. Mom

What a beautiful smile, child of God. Merry Christmas!!! We love you and miss you so much. Wendy took some beautiful red roses to you, I played -here comes Santa Claus- the Musical Santa from one of the Santas I used to get for you and Wendy at Christmas time. I tried to relax and quietly enjoy the music, as I played it for you a few times :) Caroline, Jake and Baby Juliet had a nice Christmas. The children are growing so fast. Caroline is so pretty and growing now taller than me. Jakey is so smart and handsome, Juliet is so cute... you would have loved them so. These beautiful children of God take some of the sadness away. Dad and I love them so - they keep us busy :) Time has gone by so fast ... love you with all my heart. Mom

Hello, my beautiful son. We miss you so much. 'can't believe six years have passed by.... just like yesterday... true... life goes on... but life is never the same. You might know, we released three white balloons up to Heaven: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
The first two went straight up, one by one; the third one just "happily wiggled all the way up :) as a cloud moved out of the way to let the sunshine in. In my heart,I felt it was your way of letting me know your spirit rejoices in the presence of our Heavenly Father. I love you forever !!! Mom
January 2, 2016
I love you !!! 'miss you so much. What a beautiful face, what a beautiful son. Jakey says..."if uncle Joey were here, he would teach me to play saxophone, right Mama Alba"? I tell him yes! because he was the best! ... still so painful.... 'love you so much...

I love you with all my heart. Your beautiful smile brings comfort to our broken hearts. With all my love Mom.

Happy Birthday, my beautiful Joey. We all miss you and love you. Life is not the same. I'll try not to be sad today, but instead; be thankful to God one more day for the beautiful, God-loving son He blessed me with. Jakey said this morning he was sending you a Happy Birthday kiss and hug all the way to Heaven! I Love You :)

My rock, the light of my life. Jakey has named his "Longhorn" little bear - baby Joey, he carries him around the house. He has pictures of you and him in his room. We often talk about you, how you loved him so. You know you have a beautiful baby niece, Juliet Elena! Oh, my beautiful child, the heartache of not having you with us is at times unbearable. I still close my eyes and think it did not happen. Your beautiful
smile is always in our hearts. You are so loved.

Joey, I've missed you so much lately. I get so frustrated that I never told you how much I loved ya bro. You were such a positive influence in my life and always kept me laughing. Every time I see a Pablo Francisco clip I think of you & your hilarious impressions. You'll never be forgotten, and although you left us way too soon - I'm so thankful to have been graced by your wonderful presence!

January 20, 2014
Hi, "m'jito" - my beautiful son - you are so missed... you know what my life is like without you. I try to be strong in my faith and realize you are happy with God, but I miss you so. I do not want your spirit to be sad for me, I know you would want me to go on and be strong. I try - every waking moment, but it is not easy. You were always there for me, I could talk with you. I am sorry I could not better help you, understand your pain...you should not have to do it alone-you helped others. That beautiful smile of yours, what a beautiful son God gave me. Jakey likes to role play - when he gets out of the tub - he likes for me to wrap him up in the towel, he pretends he is a baby that God sent from Heaven to me, because I am "the best grandmother." I think that is his way to try to make me happy, he is such a sweet little boy. He would have loved you so - you would have been such a loving uncle. I know how much you loved him. Take care of him from above. I love you with all my heart, Mom
November 28, 2013
We love you!!! We miss you everyday. It still is so painful not to have you here with us. I pray that your spirit rejoices in Heaven with our Heavenly Father and from there you continue to take care of us as you always wanted to do here. We love you with all our hearts. "Happy Thanksgiving." I give thanks to God everyday for the beautiful son that He gave me to love and to take care of here while on earth. I love you with all my heart. Mom

Happy Birthday!!! You are always in my heart. Jakey says "Happy Birthday, Uncle Joey." He knows about you, slowly he will understand more as he grows. He is a beautiful child, with a kind heart just like you. He will always know how much you loved him. He just turned 4, already a First grade level reader I keep thinking about you at that age, you also enjoyed reading and learning. You brought so much joy into our lives. I miss you so much. I love you, Mom

Joey...not a day goes by that I don't think about you and how you made me and others at United Way smile. You were family. Life was big with you...as it should be. I have so many memories and even dreamed of special memories for you in your future, but it was not meant to be. You are missed, but I know that your mission on earth was accomplished early in life, hence why you rejoice in Heavan watching over your love ones. You will live on in the hearts and memories of all those you touched...there are many so I know you are smiling big. Sending you a big hug.

I was fortunate to have met Joey some years ago. What I remember most of this special person, was his love of family. His whole being glowed with joy when he spoke of his Mother and Father and the special union he shared with his Sister and her husband, but the birth of a little miracle brought joy to him beyond words and that was a mark of a true Man of God. My deepest sorrow goes to his entire Family. Joey you are now with God for eternity, I am sure you have them laughing and rolling in Heaven, you will be missed and always be with us in mind and spirit!

Mi beautiful son... I just wrote you a long message Spanish and English... somehow was lost. I guess it was meant to be only for you and me :)
I miss you and love you dearly. You are always in my heart. I missed you especially " 10 de mayo", your hug, your smile, your voice, your flowers. But I have plenty of cards and memories to last me a lifetime. I read them often - all the cards that you, Wendy and Dad have given me throughout these years. Now I have Jakey's also - cards for "Mama Alba", as he calls me. Our beautiful baby Jakey - you would be so happy - but I am sure you look at him from above and he makes your spirit "smile" as he makes our hearts "smile" down here. I hope and pray he will be a good son just like you always were.
Always in my heart.

My beloved Joey:
We miss you so much. Always in our hearts. Forever a reason for me to remember to give thanks to God today and always for sending the best son a mother could hope for. Oh, how I wish I could feel your warm embrace again, always there to comfort me with your wise words. Such warm and kind heart, noble spirit. My beautiful baby boy - I love you so. It comforts me to know that you are in His Loving Care. Love you, Mom.

It's so hard to believe that you have been gone for 2 years. That just doesn't seem possible. Not a day goes by that I don't think about you and wish that I could hear your laugh, or one more impersonation. I know that some day we will see each other again, but until then, know that you are dearly missed.
Lisa Herrera
January 22, 2012
Joseph, I can't believe it's been 2 years since you were taken from us. Our hearts still hurt when we think of you, when we laugh at the memories, when we wish you were here so we could do something special with you.
You are so loved and so missed by so many. This world is a less exciting place without you in it. We will see you again, my friend.

January 21, 2012
Hi, my beautiful child. The most precious gift God gave me. A beautiful baby that showed me the meaning of "true love". You and Wendy and now Jakey will always be the most wonderful, cherised treasure in our lives. As I lay down at night, I ask God to please be kind to me and let me see you in my dreams. I always seem to dream of you when I wake up and then fall asleep again for a short while in the very early hours of the morning. This morning I dreamed I was holding a small child in my arms and laid him down for a nap. And when I checked on him to make sure he was sleeping comfortably it was your face that I saw, just as I remember you as a young child. What a nice dream, what a beautiful way to start my day, looking at your beautiful face ... if only in my dream.
You would have enjoyed playing and taking care of our Jakey so much. He would have brought so much happiness to your heart. When I put him to bed and we pray and then I begin to tell him the names of everyone of us that loves him so much: Daddy and Mommy, Pa and Grandma Cookie, Papi Joe and Mama Alba and Uncle Joey Montoya and I pause... and he finishes by saying "Uncle Joey Montoya loves me with all his heart".
Angels light the way - my precious child.

Hey Joey, I was just visiting and reading entries... trying to catch up for lost time, I suppose.
Your uncle is quite a character....sounds like it was a very nice cold, beautiful sunny day and that you are very loved and your absence is greatly felt. I've been trying to reply to your mom's msg but I'm scared. I just keep remembering the pained expression of my mom's face when I told her... I don't wanna acknowledge how much more intense that look is on your mother's face and I just wanna be kids again back when we played all day outside and had to be home by the time the street lights starting turning on...

Joey you were one of a kind. We miss your quick wit and beautiful smile. You are truly missed by your extended Rodriguez family.

For the Montoya Family - when I served as principal of Eisenhower High School, fortunately I came across many wonderful familes, the Montoya Family was such a family. They had two beautiful, smart, involved and caring children - Joey and Wendy - I knew that these two kids would have a positive impact on the world in which they lived in. In the years after Big IKE, my belief was proven true. Both Joey and Wendy became young adults that gave back to their community. Sadly, Joey died before his full potential was realized. He was an amazing young man, he embraced life fully, he was unselfish, he loved his family, his friends and the Longhorns. His loss is great, he is missed. Thank you Joey for your life, you made a difference. God bless you and your family and friends,

You are my best friend and as devastating as it has been at times to not have you here in body, you have taught me how I carry you with me everywhere I go and that I will do so for the rest of my time here in body. I cherish that gift for I get to celebrate you and our friendship so often.
I love you ... but you already know this! I am grateful for that too. =)

Joey, I can't believe you've been gone for 1 year already. We miss you so much and talk about you so often. This world is much quieter and not quite as colorful without you in it. You are never forgotten and always loved, my friend.
January 20, 2011
I find it almost impossible to believe that’s been a year since your passing. Time has been painful and cruel… so many memories and so much left unsaid and done. I miss you more than words can ever describe.
I thank God for the gift of you. The kind of love we shared comes along once in a lifetime… I’m so thankful I got to experience it with you.
Loving you always,

Dear Montoya Family...regretfully, I am just now finding out about the passing of Joey. My deepest and sincerest sympathies to all of you and to those who were touched by Joey's warm personality and love. I know this is a difficult time during this holiday season, but find comfort that he is spending Christmas with our Lord.

Wendy, I know you are missing your brother, my condolences to you. I don't know how I will handle either of my brothers' passing but I know it will be rough just as I imagine how rough all of this must be for you. I don't even want to imagine what you are going through, I don't want to relate to what you are suffering but I want you to know that I am deeply sorry for you and your family to have lost Joey. How difficult it must be to watch your parents mourn your brother every day and how difficult it must be for you to not see Joey around. You be strong, okay and remember that Joey wouldn't want you to be so sad.
I lived down the street from your family on Desert Rose in NWP and it's been 25 yrs since I lived there and almost that long since I last saw Joey but I never forgot him and I probably never will. Even as a kid, Joey was special and that smile of his was so powerful.
I hope you and your husband are starting a family so the world can be blessed with another Joey.

I had been searching for you and finally found you but it was too late.
I found out a few days ago and I've been upset ever since. You were one of the people I really, really wanted to find and talk to again. We got in so much trouble together when we were kids. It's probably been 24 years since I've seen you but when I found your profile on facebook and viewed some of your pictures, there was no mistaking that it was you, you and your great smile. I'm sorry that it took me so long to find you and I'm sorry that I missed the opportunity to talk with you again. I am still missing you.
To Joe & Alba: My condolences to you, I know that Joey is resting peacefully and I know that you both miss him so much. My heart aches for you both. Thank you for Joey, my childhood pal.
To Ericka: My condolences to you, I know he wanted to marry you and I know that you hurt so much and miss him and wish he could still be there with you. I wasn't disappointed when I saw your picture, I'm so glad that Joey got such a beautiful, kind woman to share his life.
Please contact me with any information you can share with me regarding Joey. I would appreciate it, thank you. [email protected]

I am sick that I just found out about Joseph's passing. Joseph was an amazing friend. Long after I left United Way, our friendship continued and I had the pleasure of selling him his first home and making him my neighbor. I didn't fully understand what a blessing that would be until now. You will be missed my friend. "Hoey" as he was known by a few of us at United Way. Heaven is laughing a little bit louder now that Hoey is in the house! Wendy - I know that he adored you! Peace and Blessings to the entire family. Hoey will never be forgotten.

Joey-- What can I say? The one thing I looked forward to at the end of the day was the wit, sarcasm, and laughter that you provided--on Facebook! I will miss you, my friend.
Joe, Alba, Wendy, James, Jake, and Ericka: I am so sorry. There are few words one can say during a difficult time like this. You have memories and the love he provided in such a short time to sustain you, but you will also have all of the friends that he made along the way.

Dear Joe, Alba, & Wendy, I want to say how sorry I am for your loss. I can't imagine the pain of loosing a child or brother. I never had the pleasure of meeting Joey but had always heard great things about him and I know that was my loss. Please know that I am your friend and wish I could ease your pain. Love Katrina
