This is extremely hard for me to express my feelings for your passing because you were more like a little brother to me and not only did I lose a nephew but also a big cousin to Mila & Evan and a protector to them when I’m not there. It’s hard to accept your physically not here and things will never be the same without you anymore. You were always so quiet that we would sometimes forget that you were home. . . That’s kind of how it feels still, like we are just waiting for you to come walking through the house from your room.

I can remember picking you up from elementary school and the smile you would have on your face as you walked out holding the straps to your backpack. That smile never faded and actually grew more vibrant as you got older. I will forever miss that smile and hearing your laugh.

Mila and Evan will miss running in your room and jumping on your bed while you play your video games to show you something new they just got. You never got mad at them for being loud or asking you too many questions, you would just smile and giggle at them, let them jump all over your bed and grab your controllers. They still remember the day you spent over an hour quietly building them the Batman cave that you had. They’re always asking about you so I know your on their mind a lot.

The other night when you came to me in my dream and gave me a hug, I was excited to ask you if you were with family and if you like it up there in heaven, you replied “yeah, it’s Koo, but I miss it down here.” Hearing that made me happy that your not alone but also sad. You still seemed joyful talking to me so I know your ok up there with everyone. We know you were not ready to go but have to accept that God had a plan and wanted you up there for something better. Please, be our guardian angel and look after us all. Continue to visit us in our dreams and be there to meet us all when we are ready to go with you up there. Make sure to tell your grandpa Rick we miss him too and to keep you under his wing up there. We all love and miss you so much. Until we meet again. . Rest in paradise Joe Joe!

Love always,
Mike

I know that no matter what
You will always be with us.
When life separates us
I’ll know it is only your soul
Saying goodbye to your body
But your spirit will be with me always.
When I see a bird chirping on a nearby branch
I will know it is you singing to me.
When a butterfly brushes gently by me so care freely
I will know it is you assuring me you are free from pain.
When the gentle fragrance of a flower catches my attention
I will know it is you reminding me
To appreciate the simple things in life.
When the sun shining through my window awakens me
I will feel the warmth of your love.
And will remember what you taught me so well’
That without rain trees cannot grow
Without rain flowers cannot bloom
Without life’s challenges I cannot grow strong.
When I look out to the sea
I will think of your endless love for your family.
No matter where I am
Your spirit will be beside me
For I know that no matter what
You will always be with me.

My sweet Joe Joe, this is so hard and painful not having you here and it has effected everyone not seeing your beautiful face or that beautiful smile, I will always love and miss you but know one day we will all be together again, 17 years was not long enough but I guess God had other plans for you to take you so soon, like they say God takes the good ones first, please keep watching and protecting all of us until our time here is up, I will keep you in my heart always "REST IN PARADISE MY SWEET NEPHEW" until we meet again....

My beautiful Grandson,
i will forever love and miss you always.  You were my first Grandson whom I fell in love with the minute I laid eyes on you.  I truly thank God for giving you life to brighten my life as well as everyone you came in contact with.  I am grateful I had the chance to raise you as one of my own.  I will always love your mama and dad for giving me that honor of being your Nana.  I don’t know how I can go on missing you and that beautiful smile that lit up any room you entered.  You were the perfect example of a Son, so loving and caring and very respectful, not to mention such a great cook you were.  I always looked forward to your food you would make and always come straight to me to share with.  My beautiful boy, please keep sending me signs for me to know you are at peace and watching over all of your family as well as all of your friends.  I miss hearing you on your PlayStation giggling and laughing with your friends.  What gives me a lil peace my beautiful boy is knowing I can’t live forever and will see you and the family in the near future.  I just ask you one thing, when it’s my time to go, please come for me and bring me to those beautiful gates in heaven that I know you have brightened up with your beautiful soul.  Until we meet again, I will hold you close to my heart forever and love and miss you until my broken heart stops beating, Love Forever, Nana
