Words are hard to find at a time like this for the hurt is so deep and real. The most soothing I have are in the poem of Footprints In The Sand…For during times like these you will only see one set of prints, this is when the Lord is carrying you. He will carry you when you feel you can’t stand on your own. He is your strength, peace and comfort. Joey was a wonderful husband, father, grandfather, brother and friend, he will be missed by many….Love and hugs
