Sister Benavidez,
 I am so sorry to hear you have lost your soul-mate.
Please know I am thinking of your family and praying for peace of mind.

you will be missed you Joe . I have only found out the other day - I can not begin to say for the loss of you in this world means to all that knew you . ride on in Heaven brother .

Pam, I am so sorry for your loss. Joe will truly be missed. I will keep you in my prayers. Your past neighbor. Milded

Joe, I love and miss you so very much, I know that you are with daddy and you are both watching over us. I pray that we all make you both proud. I Love You, Brother. your Bubbett

It has been 17 long days without you Uncle Joe and words can never explain how much I miss you. You have taught me many great things, but most importantly you showed me how to love EVERYONE no matter their imperfections. Know that because of all the hard work you put in here on earth you have left behind a great legacy and a beautiful family. I love all of you so much. Aunt Pam and my cousins-you are all in my heart and prayers.

To all of the Benavidez family. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. I met Joe and his brother John years ago, and have much respect for them and their parents. Through those years, we lost touch, but found each other on FB, and was so happy to be back in touch with them. I will always have much love and respect for this family, like I have back then and still do. Joe you will truly be missed, your boys carry a strong name. Pam I hope to someday get to meet you. You are an amazing woman with such a strong heart for others. You have given me words of wisdom, and appreciate all the times you responded to my posts when I was having a bad day. Like you have always told me, "Stay lifted"... God Bless You
Love you

It will be one week today in just a few hours and my stomach remains in knots and my heart still has the biggest hole without you here with me.  In spite of  all that I still thank God for letting you and I have some of the best years together and a beautiful and strong family.  No words can express babe how much I miss you and want you back here with me...yet I get comfort in knowing that God has made you whole again and the family is slowly starting to look at things a little more openly.  Your sons and nephew are doing all to keep making you proud.  I love and Miss you so....I hope it's not too long before God comes back to reunite us all....Love you More, Always and Forever!   Your Spooky,  Pam

Pam,
You and your family are in our prayers
Rest in Peace Joe

our prayers go out to the family may god comfort you in this time of need god bless lydia gonzales campbell

Dora ~ We've been through a lot together and I never thought it would be something like this.  You told me that I knew what it was like to lose a Father, true.  But I don't know what it is like to lose a father and then a brother six weeks later so unexpectedly.  When I met Joe, I could tell he was your brother because he was just as much of a gem as you are.  I know how close you two are and I am so so sorry for you.  You are my best friend and I am here for you whenever you need me.  Please know you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers at this difficult time.  Love, Mary

Joe - I liked you the second I met you.  You were always so friendly, personable and easy to talk to, it was as if I had known you for years.  I think it was proven yesterday at your service how much you were loved by everybody.  I know you will be watching down on all of us.  You will be missed.

joe you  more than a friend in me more like a father
 camping in a lake michigan with the kids
 teach me how  to do diamonds on the grass.....
sleeping and tha wheel barrel
A DIOS...   JB.. .........

Do not stand at my grave and weep,
for I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond's glint on snow.
I am sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle Autumn's rain.
When you awaken in the morning's lush,
I am the swift uplifting rush.
Of quiet birds in circle flight,
I am the stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there, I did not die."

RIP Joe.

Rest in Peace my friend, I will have fond memories of our childhood, tearin up Hall St. and Maple, North School of coarse, and being friends since....Love ya,
