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.

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
