Below is a poem my cousin found online and I wanted to share with you. Think of it as something Joe would want to share with you.
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 am 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 so badly, you are part of my plan.
There is so much that we can do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, which 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.
If I were to tell you , you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is over.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are 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 is 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 was 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 them 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.

My sincere condolences on the loss of Joe in these tragic circumstances. I fondly remember Joe from our childhood years as a very kind, fun loving person. Unfortunately, I understand the pain, having lost my younger brother this week under similar circumstances. My prayers are with the DiFiore family and friends at this time.
Warm Regards,

Joe will always be remembered by the people that knew him best. for his huge heart, and a sense of humor that was definitely ONE of a kind!! He always spoke so highly of his parents and brother. He told me that his father Michael was such an excellent role model for him , both as a young kid and as he grew into a successful business man. He also wanted to find a girl like his mother Vicky, an excellent mother, cook who also worked, the whole package! Joey would always tell me to get a manicure so my hands looked nice like his mother's. He was also so proud of his brother's educational and career achievements and would joke that Michael got the brains but he had gotten the charm and good looks. Typical Joey!! I will always remember the good times and 4-5 hour long phone calls we shared.
I regret that we lost touch over the past year. Joey may you rest in peace. xoxoxo
