I have known my brother for 54 years of my life, I still cannot believe that he is gone. I know deep in my heart that he was very sick and that his time had come but I am having a really hard time letting go. My brother, you will alway be in my heart and in my memories. Joe is survived by his mother who is 85 years old and eight siblings, he has three children, Joeseph, Renee and Ashley Gonzalez and three grandchildren, Matthew, Sophia, and Demetrius. Before my brother passed, he wanted to let all his sisters that we were his princess'. We love you Guadalupie, you will always be in our heart. Please wait for us in heaven.

Mi nombre es Cinthia, su familia no me conoce, pero quiero dar mi mas sinceras condolencias a la familia, en momentos asi necesitamos el apoyo de nuestra familia y amigos pero mas alla va la ayuda, consuelo y esperanza que nos da Dios, en Juan 5:28,29 dice que habra una resurrecion, lo que nos deja saber que Dios muy pronto traera a la vida a nuestros seres queridos que han muerto. El lo ha prometido y lo cumplira.

Dear Edda,
Be proud knowing your husband was loved by so many people. Joe always had that million dollar smile that gave you the assurance everything was going to be all right. He was a positive force. He was an honorable man. He was a kind man. He was a family man. And above all, Edda, Joe loved you. Take comfort knowing you took good care of Joe to the end and now he is wrapped in the arms of our Heavenly Father who is the Absolute goodness.
Love your cousin,
Patty

Joe was a good man. I knew him as a good Police Officer and a friend from a while ago. I knew that he had been a good Paratrooper Soldier. My condolences to his family and may he rest in peace.

Thank you everyone for all your kind letters of support, cards, phone calls and flowers. It pleases us so much that my husband Guadalupe (Joe) Gonzalez was so loved by so many people. Today, I received a couple of e-mails from his Viet Nam buddies who were sharing their memories about Joe.
