Well it's coming on 7 years that you haven't been here with us. It's definitely been rough this year with everything but of course some good. I'm on my 12th year of teaching and it's definitely something else. I'm looking into getting into something else as it's no longer worth it and getting demeaned. This field is draining and by the time I get home I just want to sleep and I'm just physically and mentally drained. I'm going to work with a career coach to help me transfer all my skills out of teaching and get into something else. I still miss you and it doesn't get easier with any time.

Missing you everyday. There have been so many firsts that I wish you were around to see. Running a 26.2 mile marathon and with Gracie there have been so many different things. I am finally going back to school to become a personal trainer in March, in which I can't wait. I'm actually looking to do this full time and finally get out of teaching in the schools but that will take some time and it would be nice to be with Gracie and not leave her in day care each day as that gets too hard to do on a daily basis.

Miss you always,

Hi Dad,
We had baby Gracie's Christening on Sunday August 30th, 2015. You were with us in spirit. It was a very happy occasion for us all. Luann and Annmarie gave the readings from the bible. Aunt Lucy calls Gracie a precious angel. She has a big smile just like you always did. all of us truly miss you at all our family functions. You were always the life of the party with all your happiness and funy things you always said. Life as I knew it will never be the same. I still visit you 3 times a week with mom,
Love you always,
Daughter Debbie, Hugs and kisses

Benji turned into quite a young man. He lost 140 pounds and is into exercise. He rode his bike all the way to Hammanasett from Meriden with a friend. This is how he deals with losing you. I just go and have coffee with you on Saturday. Everyone is dealing with grief a different way. Don't worry, Joe Jr is watching out for me just like you did. We talk at least 5 times a day.
Love and miss you so much,
Deb , Joey Jr.

It has been 2 months today Daddy. I really miss you and all of our talks. I do visit you at least 3 times a week. I talk to your spirit. I'm sure you re listening to me in all your loving ways. The first day of Fishing season was Saturday April 11,2015. You were missed at the Meriden Rod and Gun club. You will always be remembered by all the members. You are so well loved by all that knew you. I will never get over losing you. I know you were tired. I hope you are visiting all of the relatives and having one big party and fishing derby.
Love you always and you are in my heart. Gracie Rose Tkacz Belancik will be here soon. Benji and Laura picked her middle name Tkacz after you and our family. What a tribute to you. They miss and love you so much.
