Hodo,



It is hard to believe it has almost been a year since you left. The pain for so many is still so fresh but knowing you are with us everyday still brings a smile to our faces. Baby Joey is getting so big and we know one day he will fill those big shoes you left behind. All the kids are growing up so fast they all miss you so much. The boys play football now they are so good and Amber is just off being a girl. Well I just stopped by to say hi and we all miss you more and more everyday.

Hodo,

We miss you & we're thinking of you all the time. The kids came to see you for Father's Day...it was pretty tough. Your favorite holiday, 4th of July is just around the corner...and we'll be thinking of you. Wish you were here and we could put the couch in the front yard for you again =) Kayla's 1st birthday is coming up, too but I'm sure you'll be there with all of us. Love & miss you always, Ann & Eddie.

What's up Big Guy!!



I miss you so much. I miss sitting on the corner and the porch with you. It feels weird not playing around with you. I miss not having anyone to talk to, guiding me threw things. The holidays were boring without you. I was lonely without you on Thanksgiving and Christmas. The kids are getting so big and Baby Joey looks just like you. The corner has been empty without you. I wish you were here to see Baby Joey point to my tattoo and calls out "DaDa" and kisses it. It hurts so much with you not here in person. It's still so hard to get threw everyday because your not here with me.



Love & Miss You So Much

Your Little Brother Pat

Joey will be in my thoughts and my heart forever...especially when my birthday comes. He would go to St.Gabs Christmas Bizarre every year and win me a cute doll, and Grandma Gladys would make my Barbie doll cake. Or when I thought I could be a tomboy and could play bull-rush with the boys and my foot got stuck and Joey pulled me and I ripped all the ligaments in my foot...or, the minute I went to take the garbage out he would let his dog out to attack me. We had a lot of fun and memories growing up together which I will always remember.



I will never forget Joey and I will always hold him close to my heart..and I will remember these stories forever and tell his children what a funny, loving person he was and I am sure he loved them with his whole heart..



I am happy he is no longer in pain and I am sure he will be smiling down on all of us from heaven..especially his family and his awesome group of friends.
