Joe, I am so sorry I am not sure what happened but so many of the graphics I have put on your site are gone.  SO I decide I would make my own. So I made this for  you. Two hearts that crossed each other paths and found "home".

Never to forget you Never to stop loving you

Forever your Pretty

I miss your phones call Pappa Joe

 My dearest Joe,

Today four years ago was your final day upon this earth.  Your body was laid to rest.  It seems sometimes as though it has been an eternity since I heard your voice, saying, but I lubbya Pretty! How I miss that!  But when I feel the pain of your absence it feels just like yesterday when you crossed over from this life to life eternal.   I know that I should not play all those "old familiar songs" but I did ... I just needed something to help me remember those feelings of good days.  Ya know BB King and our bubble baths, the Ozzman,  the many nights that you, Joe Henry and I crusied all over Cavanal Mtn with the T-tops off listening to the Ozz...."All I Want Is YOU"...it was all kind of like my own "personal" memorial service all over again for the man I love that has left us all behind.  Sometimes I just want to get up and go to Poteau, OK and find you but I know that you are not there....you are in my heart now ........ many say move on, find someone you are still young.......  I do not want anyone else....I'm ok the way that I am ......I know we had some pretty tough times but the good times were just as equal in "intensity" as the tough times... When it was good it was good when it was bad it was bad .....No not a fairy tell, I was not Cinderella and you were not the White Knight in shining armour .....though you did have a brand new white special addition Camaro....  My heart is lonely for you tonight.  I just got off Craig's memorial site and told him Happy Birthday, and that I missed him and now I am on the love of my life site telling him goodnight and that I love him and miss him.   This year has been especially tough....it is just that is has beeeen soooo long since I have heard yours and Craig voice, laughter and those precious words, I love you.....I miss you holding me at night, me holding your right hand thumb as your arm is under my head, believe it or not your terrible "snoring".... talking in your sleep.....it brings back funny memories.   This anniversay of Craig's birthday and your crossing over just has been really hard for me.  Maybe it is because the dates are so close, 1st , 3rd and today the 5th....June is a hard month for me.   You know I would not even remove the caller ID showing your number the last time you called me the Monday after Mother's day, 2004.  I packed it away just, I was  so afraid someone would erase it...how silly is that?  I know you would laugh at me for being so silly ..... but you do not know this terrible pain in my heart that wants to scream out, Joe I love you and hear you say it back.....well, I am losing it here so I guess I need to close for now my love.  I will see you in Heaven, go get Craig and you guys meet me at the gate when it is my time....Promise Me?   I love you and will alway be "your pretty" ... none other.  Forever and ever and one more day

Love

Pretty

Over your casket laid the most beautiful Roses

I love you Joe

Joe, it has been four years today, June 1, 2008 that they found you.  It has been a lonely four years.  I have missed your emails, phone calls, and your "I lubbya Pretty".

I know that you are in Heaven now and finally have found true peace and acceptance.  Something your heart longed for in this life.

I know that Dad, Annie, Joe Henry and little Julie' Renee and me, we miss you so much.

I love you Joe and miss you

Forever Your Pretty

Heaven's train has come 'a callin'

The conductor tells me "time to go"

I hadn't seen it comin'

I wish that I'd 'a known

Soft smoke is billowin' billowin' up

The train whistles a fluted sound

And up eternity's track we'll go

Leavin' this earthly ground

I'd like to have known my passage was booked

The fare paid...my departure planned

'Cause I was just as surprised as you

When from life-to-death I spanned

So here I stand on the departure docks

And into eternity I'll go

But I'll leave part of my heart with you

So you will always know

THAT I LOVE YOU

I've found my seat now on the train

It's feelin' more n' more like home

As for baggage, we all have none

C'ept for love n' memories we've known

My ticket's punched and handed back

After searchin' my heart and face

I find it reads: "FIRST CLASS TO HEAVEN"

"THROUGH CHRIST'S ATONING GRACE"

And suddenly I'm feelin' so much calm

'Bout where I've been and where I'm goin'

And I can trust you all to God's sweet grace

For his mercies you'll be knowin'

I can see you all so clearly

As the train chugs and we depart

You're all remainin' so close to me

Where does life end n' heaven start?..."

I picture you walking up the path
and walking through the door
I listen out for your gentle laugh
but i cant hear it anymore

I hold my hands out everyday
Hoping for your gentle touch
But i dont feel your warm hands touch me
Its a feeling i miss so much

I wait for you to wipe my tears
But you want yours wiping too
And everyday still hurts so much
Because my life is missing you

I keep your memory in my soul
It burns so bright each day
And all the things I have in my mind
Theres three words Iwant to say

I Miss  and Love you

Joe
