I am so sorry for the loss of Joe, since Ryan and he were the same age, I cannot imagine what Mike and Kathy are feeling, if they are feeling anything. Just remember the family times you had with Joe, and someday you all will be together again.

I am so sorry to here about Joe.
I will always remember the goodtimes we had with Joe and Chris. Their smiles could always warm your heart and bring a smile to my face. It has been quite awhile since we went camping during the tornado, and wound up sleeping in the Chevette.
Just one of the times I will always cherish.
My prayers are with all of you.

Joe is special and has touched and continues to touch our lives with his free spirit and kind heart. His spirit and memory lives on always.
He gave his lil sister Dani little nudges of brotherly love and encouagement showing he loved and cared for her deeply.
We all wish we had more time with him because he showed us how to never conform and to always march to your own drum.
Our heart goes out to all the family and friends for healing during this time of grieving.
We love and miss you Joe.
