Joel i loved you as a son,respected you as the man you were and admired the strength you had for your family, my family. I am so grateful and feel so blessed to have had the honor of spending some of your last days with you. We never know the time or the reason but God tells us that there is a season for all things. You fought the good fight, you made peace with your Heavenly Father and I know he is well pleased. Although you will be truly missed by your earthly family you will be well received by your Heavenly Father. Your legacy will live in Dejah, Judah, and Tamika, who are all the stronger because of you. So rest well my love your work here is done. It was an honor having you in my life and we will understand it by and by.  
JB your mother in love.

I can't express how much this has broken my heart. I've only met you once but was blessed to meet your beautiful wife  Tamika , and her contagious smile and happiness you gave her was special. I know you will be an angel watching over your beautiful family you both created.
Sleep in Peace Joel...

To a young man I met over 35 years ago, you always had that glow in your eyes, the inspiration to become one with the universe. Everything you did, was with purpose. You strived to be the best in everthing you did. You lived your life to the fullest and built a beautiful family. You will always be Playdo in my heart, Joel to your family and Diggy in your professional life. You were an inspiration to many in the Hip-Hop community and your words will live forever. You will be missed by many but never forgotten. 
NB Don't Play 
Rest easy my friend.

My big cousin Joel,
Words can't even begin to express the sadness that has consumed me. What I would give to have had just a little more time to see you. I am sorry I didn't get one of your hugs before you left us. The one thing that has comforted me is knowing that I will see you again as you accepted our Father. I look forward to that day Joel and I will never ever forget that I am Goober Grape. Thank you that our last conversation together you told me I was beautiful and that you were proud. Your legacy will always live on. Until we meet again Playdo. This is your Goober Grape, over and out. Give grandpa Tuffy a hug for me. I love you so much. #SanchezStrong

Sending comfort and hugs to Meeka, Daija, Judah, my titi Rachel, and tio T. May God fill your hearts with peace that surpasses all understanding, and may you find joy that you will be with him again. I love you.

RIP MY friend until  we meet  again 
ONE LOVE

Cousin Joel, 
I was blessed to have grown up with you in Grandma and Geandpa's house on 12 Douglass Street. A home filled with lots of love and laughter and good values.
You touched many lives and showed love to many people. 
My heart goes out to Your Beautifil Family because I know their hearts are aching.
Your life was cut too short but you lived a full life, a life that was blessed by your beautiful family and friends. 
May your legacy live on forever
One love❤
Cousin, Ina

My cousin Joel I love you miss you always in my heart ❤ For ever

My big cousin Joel, 
I can not even begin to tell you how this has broke my heart. I wish I had more time to be there with you while you were here and I'm sad we did not get to hug each other before you left us. I been thinking about you so much. I'm truly going to miss you and the only place I have found peace is knowing that we will see each other again. I am so pleased to know that you are resting now with our Father and this pain we feel is only for a short while. New Years celebrations will never be the same but your legacy will always live on. I will never forget that my real name is Goober Grape. I will let the world know Big cousin. I will always be your Goober Grape. Thank you for telling me I was beautiful last we spoke. Until we meet again Jo, I love you. Give my grandpa a hug for me. #SanchezStrong
Love always

Dearest Cousin Joel, you are now in God's hands. I will forever remember our childhood get-togethers in B'klyn. May the Lord fill our hearts with lifelong memories of you.
All my Love and prayers to Rachel and Tito, Herbie, Tamika, Dejah & Judah, and everyone who's life you blessed with your presence.

R.I.P. You will be truly missed. I am truly blessed to have you  as my cousin forever and always love you.

Words - I just can't seem to find them. My heart hurts more then mere words can express. My relationship with Joel was such an important chapter in my life and his family will remain equally important to me. Joel was such a good person, such a good friend; he truly adored his family, honored his wife, and took great pride in his children. I appreciate the blessings, lessons, and love I shared with Joel. My deepest and heartfelt condolences go out to his beautiful wife, sweet children, Rachel, Tito, Herbie and all of Joel's family and friends - today and always. Elise (AKA: Damage) xoxo

Dear Son
You were the gift that God blessed us with and you will be missed. But your memories will be our treasure and we will be reunited with you one day our beautiful son.
Love Mom and Dad
