i sit her and ponder how much ide like to be able to talk to you today ,there are so many things we didnt get chance to say, i kmnow how much you cared for me and how much i cared for you and each time i think of you i know your missing me too. an angel came and called your name and took you by the hand and said joe your place in heaven is ready, and you had to leave behind all the things you loved, you had so much to live for and so much to do, it seems impossible that god was takeing you away from me and though your life on earth is passed in heaven it stars a new,youl live for all eternaty just as god as promissed you and though youvd walked through heavens gates we are never far apart cause every time i think of you your right here deep in my heart , ,,, missing you so much love your son ray and family,xxx
