Our Sweet Joey..
As sweet as he was handsome, Joey always managed to touch the hearts of every person he came across.. My only son w/5 sisters who he adored and vice versa, he protected them with all he had.. Uncle to 16 nieces & nephews who loved their uncle Joey so very much..Joey loved children and spent alot of his free time doing just about anything to amuse them even if it took standing on his head spitting nickels..
Married to his sweet Suzie and the father of 2 gorgeous little girls, Sierra & Selena, whom he cherished more then life itself..
Joey like the rest of us was far from perfect, but I can honestly say the good outweighed the bad by a long shot..Always there to lend a hand and the life of every get together..
He had the nac of making the most serious people laugh until they were in tears.. I was blessed to have the opportunity share everyday of his last 3 weeks on earth with him..In those 3 short weeks, Although I could sense something was wrong, Joey was Joey & managed to touch even more hearts..
Our Joey will be missed so very much..So many good times & great memories we'll cherish for the rest of our lives!
Rest in Peace Our Sweet Joey, We Love You!!


     

Years will move on
But constantly see
Face of such beauty
Such rapture for me

Hear special music
That rises in air
His love always with us
His heart always here

Smile that is tender
I'll never forget
Happiness enters
One part of duet

For he was the music
That played in my soul
His image now lasting
To make my life whole

Look at him gazing
With love that is there
Forever this presence
Is love that I share

Memories precious
They always will be
This part of his beauty
Plays on endlessly.



Joey carried this picture in his wallet to keep it near him. Joey Loves his little girls so much.

My Mom is a survivor, or so I've heard it said. But I can hear her crying at night when all others are in bed. I watch her lay awake at night and go to hold her hand. She doesn't know I'm with her to help her understand. But like the sands on the beach that never wash away... I watch over my surviving mom, who thinks of me each day. She wears a smile for others... a smile of disguise! But through Heaven's door I see tears flowing from her eyes. My mom tries to cope with death to keep my memory alive. But anyone who knows her knows it is her way to survive. As I watch over my surviving mom through Heaven's open door... I try to tell her that angels protect me forevermore. I know that doesn't help her... or ease the burden she bears. So if you get a chance, go visit her... and show her that you care. For no matter what she says... no matter what she feels. My surviving mom has a broken heart that time won't ever heal.

All Is Well
I have only slipped away into the next door room,
I am I and you are you... Whatever we were to each other, that we are still. Call me by my old familiar name,
speak to me in the usual way which you always used. Put no difference into your tone, wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrows. Laugh as we always laughed
at the little jokes we enjoyed together. Play, smile, think of me, pray for me. Let my name be spoken by your lips Let it be spoken without effect, without the ghost of a shadow on it.
Life means all it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was, there is absolute unbroken continuity. Why should I be out of mind, because I am out of sight? I am waiting for you, I am with you, Somewhere very near just around the corner...
All is well...

Hold fast to your memories,
to all of the cherished moments of the past, to the blessings and the laughter, the joys and the celebrations, the sorrow and the tears. They all add up to a treasure of fond yesterdays that you shared and spent together,
and they keep the one you loved close to you in spirit and thought. The special moments and memories in your life will never change. They will always be in your heart, today and forevermore

Happy Birthday in Heaven my Sweet Joey..

Birthdays are a time for celebration Not a time for tears But what happens when the birthdays No longer mark the years...
A birthday marks the moment A spirit enters earthly life To share its special love and joy And learn from earthly strife..
Before a spirit comes to us It knows when and how it must depart It chooses it's path carefully We are honored from the start..
The sadness we now feel On such a joyous day Is longing for our loved one's touch It's natural to feel this way..
For even though the birthdays No longer mark a spirit's stay Love continues on forever To touch us everyday..
So hug your precious memories Closer to your heart And honor your beloved spirit child Who chose you from the start...
Time may hide our sadness A smile will hide our tears But the memories you left us Will remain throughout the years...
Love begins with a smile Grows with a kiss And ends with a tear...
