-A poem from my heart-

In the midst of all our suffering we struggle to make sence of such a tragedy, still we cannot understand.
What we do know is that we're grieving for a dearly loved person, a very special man.

If he were here right now, I'd tell him that he's been a really good friend,
and I'd do anything to stop this, if I'd known it was the end.

J.O. is someone who with kindness and truley a heart of gold, has touched so many lives, so many stories never told.

I pray for those closest to him, may God give you strength and peace in this time, 
Though the pain may never completely leave you, it is right now at it's prime.

And for the mercy of our Lord to reign upon us all, includeing Joseph Carpenter, of whom the Lord did call.

God keep him safely in your arms until we see him once again,
When the gates of heaven open for us, we will be with him then.

Let our memories of him be of comfort to us as we bare through the bitter grief and pain,
And let knowone forget how much he meant to us, one fact that will remain.

-IN LOVEING MEMORY OF J.O.- 

-YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN-

It is such a shame that Joes life was cut short.  He was an awesome person that cared so much for other people.  I will remember Joe as a friend and will keep all the memories of the last 10 years that I knew him close to my heart.  I send my deepest sympathy to his family, Jessica and all his friends that are mourning his death.  I will never understand why Joe felt his life needed to end so suddenly, I find comfort in knowing he is in a better place. To his family you will remain in my thoughts and prayers and to his friends, please remember Joe the way we all knew him. I hope that through all your sorrow you will find strength in knowing what a good person Joe was and how he touched so many other lives during his time on earth. GOD will lift you up and carry you through this difficult time.  If there is anything that I can do to help you through this terrible tragedy, please contact me.

Joe was someone who made me laugh everyday I was with him.  Joe was my family for a while and I wanted to tell his family how truly sorry I am for there loss.  He was my best friend for the short time I lived there and I loved him very much and I will greatly miss him.  Frank, If you ever need anything please don't hesitate to get a hold of me. I will never forget what an incredible person he was.

My thoughts and prayers go out to J.O and his family and friends. I wish I could have been there to express my condolences in person. It saddens me to hear everything surrounding his death, but at the same time I remember J.O as a caring, outgoing and funny man. He was always smiling and goofing around. I will always remember him that way and I know he will never be forgotten in my heart nor anyone else's. God Bless and again I'm am truly sorry to hear about J.O.

God Bless and much aloha,
Stephanie
