Thank you Brother. For being you. The strongest force in my entire life to this day. I am forever grateful to have been by your side. The good, the bad, and the awesome times you shared with us are in no way comparable to what life is now as we know it. Yes we've all grown but you,my brother, are something we have all had taken from us. I miss you alot. Memories will never amount to what you could give us if you could come back for just one day. Photos or songs can't make me laugh as hard as you could. So here's to you my brother..I'm living a Godly life now. No smoking or drinking. I work to support my fam and play alot of video games on ps4...you would love Mgs V and Mk11. I have three wonderfully kids and a wife whom all tell me they love me everyday. I help alot of people as God has blessed me to be able to. I pray you have made your way into the kingdom of Heaven because I would love to be with you again someday. Just like the scorpions song we used to jam"we'll burn the sky". Im sorry you were called early but I know your not suffering anymore. I love you brother. No one like you in the world but our closest relatives. We lost a real one. See you soon brother. Love Julian.

Dear Suezette and Lopez family,

We're very saddened to hear of Joey's passing. He was a nice young man and always polite and friendly. I remember Joey spending the night with Patrick and me a few times when we lived on Wagon Crossing when he was a teenager. He was a good kid. May he be resting comfortably now in Jesus's care.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your entire family. May God bless you all.
