Jackie, Tyler, Rylie you guys were the light of your Daddy's life and he was always very proud of each of you. Joey was also very proud of his extended family Julie, Austin and Payten whom he considered as his own and was equally as proud of. We have so many great memories of your dad through the last 20+ years. Jackie we have watched you grow into a wonderful young woman and mother. Your Daddy will be watching over all of you. Great job on the photo slide show, it captured so many parts of his life and reminded us so many of the good times we shared. We are very sorry for your loss. We love you guys.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

If tears could build a stairway
and thoughts a memory lane
I’d walk right up to heaven
and bring you home again
No Farewell words were spoken
No time to say good-bye
You were gone before I knew it
And only God knows why.
My heart’s still active in sadness
And secret tears still flow
What it meant to lose you
No one can ever know.
But now I know you want us
To mourn for you no more
To remember all the happy times
Life still has much in store.
Since you’ll never be forgotten
I pledge to you today
A hallowed place within my heart
Is where you’ll always stay.
God knows why, with chilling touch,
Death gathers those we love so much,
And what now seems so strange and dim,
Will all be clear, when we meet Him.
I Knew you for a Moment but it seemed like a life time...

We're grieved and shocked and cannot find adequate words to express our sympathy. We remember Joey as a loving father and proud grandfather. May the goodness Joey shed on his friends and loved ones be multiplied in the lives of those he's left behind. Tyler and Jackie, our thoughts are with you on this difficult day and you have our deepest sympathy in this tragic loss. Cherish your dad's memory and take comfort from knowing how much love and happiness you offered Joey during his lifetime. We will continue to keep you and all your family in our prayers.
God Bless.

I have lit this candle for all of you to "see" the beauty and the sweet memories. Let it be the peace that you are searching for and remind you all to turn your thoughts away from darkness and only towards the joy. Joey has lit so many of our candles and it's now our time to let his light shine within our hearts and inside of our minds.

Dear Joey,
It's no big secret that you were the love of my life, the father to my children, my best friend through thick and thin, my partner in crime and my arch nemesis all at the same time. Thank you for choosing to pursue me relentlessly even though I continued to refuse your advances. Although you chose another path that changed the course of our family, I do not regret the time I did have with you but am grateful to have had the honor of the time you did share with me and our children.
You took my heart on our first date in December 1993 and you have had it ever since. I was never the same again. Yes, I moved on but we became best friends again in the last few years. You always called upon me when you were troubled or had news to share and I could always rely on you to listen when I needed the same. I don't know who I'm gonna call on now so maybe I'll just talk to you anyway and know that you are listening. I know I can't change things now but I wish you would have called me that day. I will miss my best friend and know that you are always in my heart and in my head. No one can take away all of the great memories we have shared. I love you with all of my heart always and forever. P.S. Thanks for keeping your promise that day outside when Jacquelyn called you "Daddy" and I said if you answer her as such it would be from that day until the end of your life. You were the best daddy in the world that you could be and we are all thankful for that.
Along with the promise was the second best gift I have ever received, both of these gifts were from you. The second gift you gave me was on October 3, 1994. Coincidentally, that was the anniversary of the day I first met you with Jenny where you were the DJ. That gift is our beautiful son, Tyler, which of course, happened to arrive on July 24th, 1995.
Now I make this promise to you. I promise to make sure that all of the things you wanted for our children will still happen. I promise to keep you in their hearts and minds. I promise to guide them in the directions we have always agreed upon and most of all I promise to love them unconditionally and equally, as I always have in your name.
I will not say "goodbye" but I will see you later. <3 Sheila

THE BROKEN CHAIN
We little knew that day,
God was going to call your name.
In life we loved you dearly,
In death, we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you.
You did not go alone.
For part of us went with you,
The day God called you home.
You left us beautiful memories,
Your love is still our guide.
And although we cannot see you,
You are always at our side.
Our family chain is broken,
And nothing seems the same,
But as God calls us one by one,
The chain will link again.
Jackie & Tyler, my prayers are with you.
