Another year Son. It was 42 years ago today you came into my life. One of the best days of my life. I can still remember everything about that day as if it were yesterday..I would give anything to have you still with me. I know you are still with me in my heart and mind, but I am selfish and want all of you with me
There are alot of occasions I feel you with me more than other times. I know you understand what I mean As fast as time seems to be flying it won't be that long until we can phisically hug each other and look at each other face to face.
Happy Birthday Son. I LOVE YOU INFINITY x INFINITY and beyond.

Hi joejoe I can't believe it's been 9 years today. We all miss you so very much, there is not a day that goes by that your not thought of. I know your girls are missing you like crazy omg Ryan they are getting so big and so beautiful. I know you would be very proud of them. Me and Justin were at your mom's recently and it hit Justin real hard when he seen your pictures on the wall. That's the first time he's been there. It's been hard on all of us. I love you joejoe with all of my heart and I will see you again. Love always and forever your aunt Dusty

Well Son it's another year, but that's one more year closer to being with you again. It still hurts as bad as if it just happened! I can't believe it's been 9 years. I pray you are able to see the girls and watch over them. I know God is but they need you too. We ALL miss you so much Son and I can't wait until we are together again. All of us ! We have a lot of catching up to do! Just know this Son you are so deeply in my heart and in my thoughts. ALWAYS!
Oh yeah, is that you that keeps turning my lights off and on at different times of the night and days? I like to think it is. It does give me a little peace and serenity to think its you.
Just keep on flying and before you know it , We will be flying with you.
Always remember baby, I love you infinity x infinity

Son sorry I haven't posted yet, it is just so hard for me . It is Thanksgiving today and it truly is hard to find things to thankful for this time of year. But I was thinking , I have alot to be thankful for..... I am thankful for my children and their children and my whole family . And I'm thankful God gave up his only Son so we could have life . And I'm especially thankful for you Son. For having you as a Son even if it was for a very short time.
Son you would be so proud of the girls. They are awesome, of course.
You wouldn't even recognize this world anymore. Everything has changed so much.
There have been thousands and thousands of deaths all over the world. They call it a pandemic, I call it INSANE! But I'm sure you already know because heaven must be getting pretty crowded by now. I sure hope there is room for me when its time. It keeps me going, knowing I will be with you again someday.
I wish you could tell me what its like in heaven Son? Is it everything they say and then some?
Do you ever think about us down here. I wonder about these things. Do you stay busy? Do you see our loved ones and the list could just go on and on.
I want you to know that you are thought of and so very loved and missed by everyone. Especially me. Every every day and more so on the holidays. Like today.
Which reminds me, do you get your balloons on your birthday or even see them? I wonder.
I love you Son, my first born. You will always have a special place in my heart and I really can't wait until its whole again.
Until then keep lookin out for us and tell Papa, Billy and Aunt Joan I miss and Love them all.

Love always
Mom

I just want to let everyone know how special ryan was. His family loved him dearly and he had so many friends that are going to miss him as well. his kids were Ryans whole world.It is so sad and not fair that he was taken from them and us so soon. Ryan would light up the room when he walked in. Him and his brother michael would play music together and boy could they play .I am his aunt dusty, Ryan was my first born nephew we was inseparable. He would cry every time i tried to go home after spending the night with him at my sisters.. IMy mom or dad would have to drive me right back over there, so he would stop crying. He was my Joe joe. I love that kid so much. Im going to miss him. Ryan i Know your in good hands and i will see you again. i love you so very much and so does everyone here .Have fun catching the big fish with papa
