Joey, I STILL cannot believe u are gone! Cousin, when I think of u it makes me cry BUT it also brings a smile to my face because I have so many precious memories that u and I shared.  So many beautiful memories growing up together and so many heart to heart talks we shared as we grew older.  I will carry all our memories close to my heart until we meet again.  The one thing that makes me happy is knowing u are with my tio Joe now.  I love u joey!  I always have and I am so very proud to say u are MY cousin!!  You were an awesome cousin/friend to myself AND to Fernando.  Rest in paradise joey!

Joey my childhood friend.  I will always know you by Joey.
You were always a good and kind hearted person.  Looking at your Facebook you have truly left a footprint here on earth.  I looked forward to reading your daily inspirational posts and your continuous positive outlook on life.  You have inspired me.  Your family should be proud. 
God Bless
Love
Judy Gonzales and Rachel Gonzales
