I was thinkin' about you today, remembering all the fun times I've had with you. The time, well the many times I used to sleep over, and how I used to always have to be the one to clean up after everybody. I just wanted to say think you, for making me always feel better, I miss you and our talks, and I'm so sorry we fell off for a while. It bothers me so much to think that we just were starting to hangout again. Miss you so much.

I will never forget you Joseph. I'll never forget the times we would have at your house and out in the desert. Words cant even begin to express what you mean to me and how deeply sorry I am to the entire DeGrenier and Vasconcelos families. Rachel, Nick, Scotty, and Jasmin, this is such a horrible, unexpected tragedy and my thoughts and prayers go out to all of you. I guess the good really do die young, rest in peace Joseph

My dear Joseph,
Words can't even begin to express all of the amazing qualities you have and how you've touched the lives of all those you've come in contact with. I am so thankful to have met you and even more thankful for all of the memories we have together. You will never be forgotten my friend. I will not look at this as a goodbye because I carry you with me everyday and I know you're watching over all of us as well. I love you and miss you always. We're all staying strong together and doing what we know would make you proud of us. God bless.
To the Vasconcelos and DeGrenier families,as well as the close friends, I am always here for all of you. Stay strong.

Joey you were and always will be one of the funnest people i have ever met in my entire life. You were always there for us when we needed someone to talk to and when we just needed a good laugh. I hate the fact that this has happened, but now you need to keep your family strong; its hard but we know you can do it. A lot of people are heart broken by this, more than i think you'd ever imagine. We'll love and miss you forever Joey. Rest In Peace.
Stay Strong Scotty, Rachel, Jazzy, Nicky and Jared.

To the Degrenier and Vasconcelos Families,
Such a tragic loss. It was a true pleasure to call him our nephew. Joseph will always hold a special place in our hearts. We will miss his smile, contagious laugh and wonderful sense of humor. We think of the song by Tavares, "Heaven, Must Be Missing An Angel" and Joseph was called to duty. We will cherish all the great memories. Love, Howie, Cheryl, Alissa, Kyle & Lindsay

Shock and disbelief has turned to grief beyond expression.....Scotty, Heidi, Jazzy, Gino, Rick, Jared and everyone, I know that words of comfort sound hollow and pointless in the face of such tragedy! Just know that the hearts and prayers of countless people are with you in your sorrow at this time.

Rachel,
Mark and I are truly sorry to hear about your loss of Joseph. I remember him as a toddler next door to us and how cute he was and what a special boy he was. I know that he will be with his grandfather and he will watch over him. That doesn't make the pain go away but try to always remember the wonderful times and enjoyment he brought you. If ever you need to talk to me you can reach me at my job or at 23 Alden Road.
My prayers and thoughts are with you and your family and special thoughts to Nicholas who I know this is going to have a great impact on.
God Bless all of you.
Love and Sympathy to all of you.
Mark and Elaine Hayward
