my condolences to you my friends
This is one of the hardest things I have ever had to write.
I am truly at a loss for words. It just don’t seem right or fair but I have to trust GOD knows what he is doing. It will never be the same without you here. You were always there if I ever needed someone to talk to or if I ever needed you all I had to do was call and you would be there.
Already missing all of the silly stuff you did and said all the time and most of all the great stories. I know you’re up in heaven with mamaw, papaw and mama looking down on all of us. The world is a lot dimmer without you. You will always be our guardian angel. RIP
Growing up I was told that I use to be scared to talk to you cause I was shy and you were the loudest voice in the room with your American flag bandana and ponytail longer than mine (softer too). The amount of miles you’ve walked in all kinds of weather just to show up at nanny’s house or Ramsay’s just to talk, get your lotto ticket and have some dinner. Just about everyone in cliftondale knew who you were even if they didn’t know it because everyone had seen you walking down the same roads for years, waving at everyone and laughing to yourself. Everyone also knew if they needed something you’d do everything you could to get to them and get what they needed.
Kaden and I were at nanny’s alone one day and a random man had shown up on the porch so I called my mother and about 5 minutes later Joseph comes barreling into the driveway at 50mph in his little while s10, he barely had time to put it in park before his door was open and his feet were on the ground. He cared about everyone he met and made sure they knew it. I miss having him come over to the house for dinner and we would sit in the living room for hours looking at whatever crazy news you’d found on your phone that day. Joseph was more kind hearted than anyone, never wanted anything he couldn’t do for himself and gave everything he had everyday no matter what he was going through.
It’s rough knowing your surprise visits have come to an end but knowing you had everything you wanted in the end brings peace. You had your kids, your grandson, your brother, my mother and a bunch more. Family was your happiness and you will always be there’s.
In remembrance of a dear friend rest in peace.
I can’t come to terms with Joseph passing, he was always there. I will miss him muc. God now has someone to guard the gates. Rest in peace my friend. Prayers to the family, my family!
HE WAS MY BEST FRIEND GROWING UP 😢
