Johnny was loved by so many people, including his family and numerous caring friends. His beautiful smile was like a light that has burned out way too soon. But he will always be remembered for his laughter and love he showed to everyone he met.

Joey and Johnny

We have two sons, Joe and I

So handsome they are sometimes I cry,

To think they are here because of our love

We were blessed with them from Jehovah above.

For a boy, a girl or even both

As long as they were healthy throughout their growth.

Even though the doctors said it was very improbable

We knew with Jehovah nothing was impossible.

So for six long years, with laughter and tears

Each month we had hope even with our fears.

And on August nineteenth,nineteen seventy-three

A great big change in our lives came to be.

A bouncy baby boy so cute and bold

One look from those eyes, he was so much fun to hold.

He was so strong for such a small boy

And he always made our hearts fill with joy.

So for six more years we prayed for another

And sure enough Joey got a little brother.

On November twenty-eighth, nineteen seventy-nine

Another light in our house came to shine.

He was so cuddly and very shy

And he became the apple of his big brother's eye.

All Johnny had to do was move in his bed

And Joey was there before anything was said.

Johnny would follow Joey all over the place

Until Joey would hold him up to his face.

So Johnny could tell him,"I love you this much !"

Using his two small arms stretched out as such.

So similar they are in many a way

But oh so different as night and day.

Joey did sit-ups every night

And Johnny was the '.Hulk' with all his might.

I must admit Joey got my strong traits

Bold and stubborn and very straight.

But he got his father's strength and sensitivity

Always helping others less fortunate than he.

Now Johnny got some of his shyness from his dad

And to see anyone hurting makes him very sad.

His weird sense of humor, well that came from me

But he can be serious when he wants to be.

Both of our sons we've taught to be loyal and kind

And to be true friends because they are hard to find.

To pray to Jehovah each and every day

To give them strength as they make their way.

We know as parents sometimes we fail the test

But all we can do is try our best.

To be there with patience with our arms open wide

To hold them and love them with lots of pride.

Now Joey and Johnny have grown up to be

Two handsome men for all to see.

Their father and I are thankful each day

That Jehovah has blessed us so what more can I say.

So Joey and Johnny always love each other

This wish comes from your Father and Mother

With all my love I have to impart

" I love you both from the depth of my heart!"

As always,I love you no matter what.
