To our beautiful Jackie & Scarlet,
There are no words that will ease the loss of Joey. You will always be in our prayers. We will never understand why The Lord decided to call our Joey home so soon. We do know heaven now has another angel.
Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal.
We love you,
Cousin Terry & Rodney

I am so very sorry for the loss of Joey. Jackie and Joey have such a strong beautiful love story that I am sure Scarlett will forever hear of by those that knew her parents.

“Your journey doesn’t end here….death is just another path, one that we all must take. The grey-rain curtain of this world rolls back, and all turns to silver glass..and then you see it…white shores, and beyond…a far green country under a swift sunrise. ” We love you Joey, forever….you will live on through your beautiful daughter….and in our hearts. Love, Doreen and Glenn
I am so sorry for your loss! If there is anything you and scarlett need please feel free to call me my number is 203.605.2686
Mel~ I am heartbroken for you and your entire family. May God watch over you all. I will be saying special prayers for you all, including his precious daughter, and his beautiful wife. My thoughts and prayers are with you…May he rest easy.
Joe I will pray for your soul inheaven to bless you and your wonderful family. Rip friend you are forever in my thoughts and will be missed.
“Don’t think of him as gone away
his journey’s just begun,
life holds so many facets
this earth is only one.
Just think of him as resting
from the sorrows and the tears
in a place of warmth and comfort
where there are no days and years.
Think how he must be wishing
that we could know today
how nothing but our sadness
can really pass away.
And think of him as living
in the hearts of those he touched…
for nothing loved is ever lost
and he was loved so much.”
Dearest Joey,
I will miss your warm, friendly smile. Whenever I would come up for a visit you were always so sweet and welcoming, very polite and the perfect mate for Jackie. I was so pleased to be able to attend your marriage ceremony, which was so beautiful. Through your deep love for each other you produced a beautiful baby girl. When I look at her I see your kind and loving eyes and gentle spirit. Through her you will live on and she and Jackie will be there to love and comfort one another while you watch over them. May your soul and spirit be at peace, my friend, you will be missed by many but not forgotten.
Love always, Auntie Lori
Melanie…My deepest sympathies are being extended to you and your family. I am very saddened to hear about the loss of your son, Joseph. May God fill your Heart and Home with some peace at this sad time~
To my family, who have suffered so greatly,…I offer my love & prayers to everyone.
Let the words of Jesus speak:
John 11:23-26 – Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise again.” Martha said to him, “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection on the last day.” Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?”
We believe,…we WILL see our brother agian! May God bless us all!
My heart hurts for your entire family at the great loss you have suffered. May God look down on you through these difficult times.
Dear Jackie – I have not stopped thinking about you. I cannot image the heartache you are feeling. You and Scarlett are and will be in my thoughts and prayers. I wish you strength and peace at this most difficult time. Joey will always be with you and Scarlett. I am so very sorry.
Mel, there are no words I can say to comfort you and your family. I am so sorry for your loss. I hope with time your days will get better. My thoughts and prayers are with Jackie and his beautiful baby Scarlett. I am so sorry.
Thinking of you and your family, Joe.
We are so very sorry for your loss. Your family is in our prayers.
I wish i could tell you how much i miss you but i wish i didnt have to tell you i missed you at all. You were too good of a friend to have gone so quickly and unexpected. I hope you’re up there with ever body we’ve lost and missed and you’re surrounded by beautiful. Im looking at your picture now and i cant believe i was just with you, you were excited about the christening and talking about steps in life, about landmarks, teeth coming in, first words, starting school and growing up. You deserved everything you’ve achieved, acquired and loved. You were always so happy, i couldn’t be in a bad mood around you and if i was you would make fun of me and i had no choice but to snap out of it. You taught me a lot of things around here and in a way i looked at you and your life as a blueprint to where i wanted to be at 30. You always brought so much to the table and were beyond generous without ever asking or expecting anything in return. You looked out for everybody, i cant stress enough how much somebody could benefit with you in their life and im not talking material but mental, it was very comforting knowing i had another loyal person to surround myself with who didnt have an ounce of hate in his blood or alternate motives that was always looking to have a good time and take care of his family and friends. how do you end something like this, when you dont want it to be real. I’ll miss you Joe, You were the man.
I just want to send my heart felt sympathy, for Jacqueline and Joe’s family. I had the pleasure of knowing Joe while working with him at Angelo’s Pizza. Although we had a falling out, he left an every lasting impression on my life. Joe was, to me, a sincere, warm, caring and compassionate young adult at the time I knew him. His wife Jacqueline, to me, seemed to me to be a blessing to Joe. I just found out the news today, and I was deeply affected learning of his passing. That’s the lasting impression Joe left in my life and I’d only known him for a short time.
Words can not express the sadness we are feeling. Be assured our prayers and thoughts are with everyone.
I am so sorry, my prayers are with you and your daughter and your husbands family. We can all say to you to be strong, but we are not in your shoes. One thing I can say is you have a beautiful daughter which is and always will be a part of both of you and your husband . To young, but I am sure you will share the experience of her dad, with your beautiful daughter. Praying for your strength to get through this.
We are so shocked of this loss and sorry it was you joe. We will keep your family and you in our prayers. God bless.
To the Lanno & Cuomo families
Words can not express the sadness we feel for your loss. There is a part of Joe that will live on in Scarlett, although she will never know her father she will be surrounded by the love of his family & friends that new him.
Joe, I will always pray for your little princess and your beautiful wife my niece. My condolences are with the family. Joe, I will always miss your smile and the way you took care of my niece so well. I will miss you so much but you will never be forgotten. Every time I see you little princess Scarlet I will be thinking of you always. love auntie Sharon
I cant believe this! My thoughts and prayers are with you and your families. All my love and well wishes!
