Goodbye to Joey


Thank you for all the prayers sent to Joey and his family, wife Karen and sons, mother Ginger and father Michael. Joey passed away from injuries to severe to sustain life last night. He was to young and no parent should ever have to bury their child. We have prayed for him and you have prayed for him. For that we thank you so very much. We have to know that God has answered our prayers. Joey is with his Papa and Grandma now, and I know they met him and welcomed him home. Now the rest of life continues and we'll all muddle through just as we always have. Thank you for being friends.

I wondered because I didn't have an update this morning. God bless his sweet family and the drs and nurses that worked so hard on him.

I am so saddened to hear of Joey's passing. I know a lot of folks have been praying for a miracle...and sometimes we on earth just don't understand why someone so young and full of life has to be taken from us. I believe that Joey was welcomed by God's embrace and that he suffers no more...I know too well, how his family will have to continue on without him and how devastating that can be. I offer up prayers for all of you and that your faith and love for the Lord and one another can sustain you during your grief.

If you need anything...I'm an email away!

Oh no Sandi...when no update came in last night I feared but continued to pray. My heart hurts so for you all but dear sweet Karen and the boys...she was so constant and so loving. I have no words except to say that I send my love and hugs and heart.

My prayers will continue for you all now..

I was saddened and shocked to learn of Joey's death. My heart breaks for you all. Karen has been such an inspiration to everyone who has read her words. I know God has been using her during this difficult time. I will continue to pray for you and your entire family.

I just wanted to say how sorry I am to hear about Joey. I heard through Kathy's blog. Please know that you and your family are in my prayers.

Our only hope in this life is to know Christ. Times like these come to all of us, and He is there to carry us through. May God be with all of you during the coming days.

Sandi,
I debated leaving any comments - what can really be said at a time like this - but I wanted to let you know I was thinking about you and your family and I'm truly sad and sorry for your loss.
I will continue to pray for you all.

I don't know how to thank you all when thank you can't convey how deeply you have all touched us. So, I'll just say...my dear friends, how dear you are and how dear you will always be to us.
