Mr. & Mrs. Vazzano and family...my deepest sympathies. I just found out and my heart has sanked more than I can explain. He was an amazing person with so much heart. We were close in middle school and stayed friends in high school. Even after high school when we'd randomly see each other he would always greet me with his awesome hugs! I will NEVER EVER forget him. I'll miss ya joey...see you later bud.

No matter how long Joe and I went without seeing eachother, whenever we did it was like we never missed a beat. There aren't enough people in the world that shine as bright as Joe.
I am deeply sorry for your loss and hope peace finds you soon.

I went to High School with Joe. We also studied Video at Elkhorn Metro Campus. His passion was in film and in writing screenplays, at least when we were in touch. He allowed me to read a couple of excerpts. They were brilliant. He was kind always, and I could not say a bad thing about him.

Dear Vazzano Family,
We were saddened to hear of the loss of your child. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.
GOD'S LENT CHILD

"I'll lend you for a liittle while a child of mine," God said, "For you to love the while he lives and mourn for when he's dead. It may be six or seven years or forty-two or three, But will you, till I call him back, take care of him for me?" "He'll bring his charms to gladden you and should his stay be brief, You'll have all your memories as a solace for your grief. I cannot promise he will stay, since all from Earth must return. But there are lessons taught below I want this child to learn." "I've looked this whole world over in my search for teachers true, and from the things that crowd life's lane, I have chosen YOU. Now will you give him all your love nor think the labor vain? Nor hate me when I come to take this lent child back again?" "I fancied that I heard them say, "Dear God-Thy will be done. For all the joys thy child will bring the risk of grief we'll run. We will shelter him with tenderness, we'll love while we may, and for the happiness we've known forever grateful stay. But should thy Angels call for him much sooner than we planned, We'll brave the bitter grief that comes and try to understand." Author Unknown

Joe, Joni, Sam & Toni,

Billy & I want you all to know we are so very sorry for your loss. We will pray for you and your whole family so that you can take all the wonderful memories of Joey and hold them close to your heart during this time of loss. Joey was called to heaven as God needed a very special angel and he is at peace now with God.

When God Opens Heaven's Gates

When God opens Heaven's gates
As we cross that gulf so wide,
The arms of Jesus open
As our soul will there abide.
When God opens heaven's gates
We'll see beauty all around,
Our loved ones, too, will greet us,
As we leave this earth behind.
When God opens Heaven's gates
There'll be singing angels there,
The awesome peace and joyfulness
Will permeate the air.
As God opens Heaven's gates
And His Light takes place of day,
Jesus welcomes us forever
As the ones who found "The Way."

Genea & Billy Stoops

Joni and Joe,

I am devastated to find out about Joe's passing. I'm so shocked and have crying all day. I can't imagine how you feel at this time and don't want to try to imagine it.

Joe was a loving part of our family for those couple of years and we missed him terribly when he stopped coming by the house. We'll miss him always and treasure the memories he left our family with.
