Dear Vatterott Family, our hearts go out to all of you. We just got home from the funeral mass of Joseph. It was a beautiful mass with so much faith, hope and love. I can't imagine how Chris, Tony, Jeannine and Annie feel right now to be honest I would be lost without a member of my family. I remember growing up go to Jeannine's house in the summer to play and Joey always wanted to play with us. I have awesome memories of you guys. Joe will truely be missed by all. Mr. Vatterott gave a amazing speech, God knows Joe was standing next to him the entire time. If there is anything our family can do, please don't hesitate to ask. God Bless you all. Love Always The Gagan Family: Dave, Nancy, Jeff(Karen, Joseph, Ashley, Derek,Molly) John(Jen)Cate and Ann

Mary&Ralph words cannot discribe how you must feel. I was watching the news and heard on one of the reports. I first thought this was someone else but I had a sick feeling that it was Joseph.
On behalf of my family you and Joseph will be in our thoughts and prayers. Stay Strong

I just learned this morning of Joey's passing from Mrs. Moore here at school. As others have already written, the loss of a child is a tragic event, and I was so sorry to hear of this. I send all of you my most sincere sympathy and prayers.

As with all people, we share a common bond. Though we have no close relation, our family and yours know the pain of loss. God has taken his hand and led him home.
May he rest in peace.

Joe was a very special person and I am very sorry for your loss. He will be greatly missed by everyone that knew him, including myself. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers. Joe was really there for me when I lost my sister in March and I just want you to know that if you need anything, I am here.
