Hello my love, sure miss you. Need your laughter, I can see your smile and vision you telling stories with your hands flying all over the place, you had such great expression. You would get so excited, you loved telling stories as much as I loved hearing them. How I wish I could hear one now.  Miss our talks Joe. Love you

Happy Valentine's Day Joe. You stole my heart, then you broke my heart....miss your smile, voice but most of all I miss you. You could always make me laugh even when I didn't feel I had anything to laugh about, you could take my hurts away. Now my hurt is over losing you and that can't be taken away. Love you still and miss you more every day. There is no one like you Joe, you were one of a kind :) smooches..

Yesterday was the 2 year anniversary of my fathers death. Not a day goes by that I don't think of him as my own words and actions are a strong reflection of his personality.

He was the master of the "pep talk" and I know many, including myself could have used one of those over the last couple of years.

Always the showman and competitor, I miss the way he interacted with his grand kids during any of our "holiday decorating contests" (pumpkin carving, Christmas cookies or Easter eggs). "I will crush you all!" would always garner a laugh and a renewed seriousness to the event.

I miss hearing "Hey Guissep!" which was the customary greeting I received on the phone with him. His many hours on the road traveling for work gave him the time to routinely call family and friends to keep in touch. I know those calls are missed by many!

My Dad worked hard his whole life and I must admit that I am bitter he was taken just as he was crossing the finish line and into retirement. I remind myself that tomorrow is promised to no one and am grateful for the time I had spent with him and that he was my father.

I miss you Dad.

Joe its been two years today since I heard your voice for the last time, five days later you would take your last breathe. I miss you brother. I miss your voice, your humor, the all of you. I am so sad your not here. Time does not really ease the pain it just put more time between our last conversation. I am so grateful to have had you in my life. I will never understand why god choose that time for you, I think he was waiting on you to find happiness, security and closure. All which you accomplished. You carried enough grief so you left with a full, glad heart. You will be thought of everyday and loved by me until my time on this earth is over. Rest. Love you xo

Pat said it all Joe. Miss everything about you, your smile, your love, your forgiving nature, your love of life itself. You could always make me laugh and see the positive in everyone. Miss our chats over coffee and cookies, our evenings snuggling on the couch, our morning breakfast to start our day. Love and miss you so much.

Big brother, thoughts of you daily. Miss not hearing your voice again this Thanksgiving. I miss you awful but think of you with peace in my heart. Your at the right hand of God no doubt. Some days I weep, I hear your voice and laughter through tapes, and that brings a smile to my face. Loving you till the end of time... love you lotsa..xo

A year and a half, where has time gone? Miss you so much. Have alot to share and could use some good solid advice. Really can't say it get easier only bearable. Feeling lost, missing mom and dad more now that you and Cosi are gone. Wish we could go HOME again. As tears roll down my face need to tell you.... a little angry God took the best. Love you so much and miss you even more than any words could express. Know without a doubt your doing well in that heavenly place. But still, missing you here. xo

Joe, thoughts of you today. Miss you so much. Can not believe your really gone. Thought we would all grow old together. Always pictured retirement living closer to one another. living it up and acting silly. Boy, life is just a blink of an eye. I love you still and always. You were the best. Haven't laughed til I cried since you've been gone. Don't think I ever will. You had what it took to set me on fire. Love to you.

I hope you know what you meant to me Joe and how much I loved you. Not a day goes by that I don't think of you. You taught me so much about people, love and life, good and bad.... We were together a short time but I thank God every day that he brought you into my life. My memories of you will never fade. I love you Joe, rest in peace my love. Until we meet again, smooches to you.

Thinking of you today as I do every day.  Sometimes I tell a story and start to laugh to myself because  I could hear your response in my head.  Sometimes I'll say something to my husband and he'll say,  you sound just like your brother Joe. That's not such a bad thing. I miss you Joe and as I get closer to the end of my time on this Earth I would like to believe in what we were taught, that  I'll see you again.  Love you
