Joel~
I miss you so much but I can always feel you around. It makes the pain of losing you a little less. Thank you for everything! You were definitely a kindred spirit and even though I only knew you for a year, I feel like we lived an entire lifetime in that short time we had. I will always have those memories and will hold them dear. I'll see you again next lifetime. <3

I know you can't hear me, but I want you to know that I miss you. Last night was so hard for me. I wanted to go see you at the church, but I just could not go in. So I sat in the parking lot and talked to you. I watched so many people go in to say "goodbye" to you, but I just couldn't do it. And now today is the day everyone will see you for the very last time. I wish I could go to your service, but it hurts too much. So instead I will tell you that I love you and that I will see you again someday. I'll send your mom a message in the next few days, but for now, I just want to remember you and those beautiful eyes. Take care buddy....

A fabulous Zumba Instructor who shortly became a Very Dear Friend..in little time i discovered you were a soul with many talents. From Zumba,choreoghraphy, cakes, hair, makeup to the best Patron drinking partner i have ever known =)... Dancing with you was always something i looked forward to along with your conversations of goals you were in progress of acheiving...i loved to hear how you wanted to save the whales!! You will forever be in my heart as one of the most fabulous, caring, clowning, humble and sexy divas i have ever been blessed to know. It breaks my heart to think I won't have the pleasure of seeing you stop in the middle of a song to look at me with those gorgeous eyes to smile and tell me "i know you can shake it more than that....come on SHAKE IT " then casually turn around and move like you invented the whole movement!! I know your teaching the angels moves that are more than likely forbidden....I love you Friend!!! And you will forever be missed until we meet again <3

Joel,

There are no words to say goodbye to you, so I won't. When I think of you I think of our days with you here at Maldonado, our cool PTA president. That was a hoot, and we all had such good times with you. You will forever be in my heart and prayers.

With everything going on this year within my life, now I have to deal with losing you. Why did you have to leave so soon?? Even though you and I only knew each other for a short time, you know how I felt. But as cruel as this is, age was always a factor. I will never forget you, nor will I try. I can only keep the memory of you alive within my heart. I will love you now, tomorrow and 4ever. Rest in Peace my friend....
