My Dearest Joe,
I can't believe it has been two years since you were taken from us. It seems like only yesterday that I saw your smiling face. You are missed by everyone so much and not a day goes by that I don't think of you. It just isn't right that you are not here, you brought insight and happiness where ever you went.
I will never forget the day when you were a baby and couldn't say my name and cried for me when I went outside and called me "whatty". But Whatty died when you did, she is no longer here. But today is your Birthday, and so I am here to say Happy Birthday to you : )
I love and miss you very much.
Your Aunt Whatty

I Love You Joe
Love Always

Joe,
It has been over a year now since I have seen you, but yet it seems like you could still pull up in my drive way and come in to see me. I feel your spirit with me many times and know that you are still with us, and of course laughing at some silly things I do! The holidays and Birth and Death dates are the hardest, but it is also hard without you all year long. Love to you always,
Aunt Cathy
