Joey Zachariah Melakayil

Oh Grand-Panda, I miss you so! You were always there to make me laugh when all I wanted to do is cry. For instance, I will always remember the evening just before I was going to be leaving town.. When you saw the sadness I carried, you 'blessed' me with the gift of a warm smile and continued to inaugurate my happiness by throwing glitter at me! Before I knew it, Raymer, you and myself were covered from head to toe with the shimmering sparkle of green glitter. As if a claymore mine of glittering, epic proportions had just gone off-we found the whole room was covered in glitter. As Randy stood in doorway looking at us completely unable to form a sentence through the laughter simply said "You'll have glitter everywhere for months!" then walked out.. As we continued laughing. Joey Zachariah Melakayil, my dearest friend.. You will be missed more than you could ever know! Thank you for keeping me warm when I had nothing but the cold and no where to go. Last thing you said to me was, "Yes, I am okay my Queen! I love you!"

I loved Joey so much, he was the kindest loving soul I have ever known. He was my cousin and when he was a child my mother helped take care of Joey and his sister Amy. His smile lit up every room he entered. I give my sincerest heartfelt condolences to his parents, his sister Amy,and all of his family. God be with you all. In the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ I pray, Amen.

I'm sorry for your loss
My deepest condolences
