I just want to thank God for all the special memories I have of you growing up. There were so many times when I would come home to find turtles in our garden tub or an alligator in our garage. You were so full of life as a child wanting nothing more than to be outside in the lake first thing in the morning with your best friend Blake. I've missed those times since you grew up and I was proud of the way you loved your little boy and felt sad that you couldn't be with your daughter. You and Dylan had such a special bond. I wish you were here and I could see you smile and laugh again. Dylan is going to miss you and we (the entire family) do too. Joey you were my baby boy no matter how old you were. I miss our talks and I just miss seeing you and getting a big hug when you walked in the door. I will love you always and I miss you so much that my heart hurts. I know you were a christian and loved the Lord and that gives me peace knowing you are with Jesus and all those questions you always had are finally answered. Son, know that until we meet again in heaven I will hold you in a special place in my heart that only belongs to you. Watch over our family and your children let them both feel your presence. We all need to feel you near. I love you my sweet baby boy! Until we meet again know that you are forever in our hearts.
