Thank you Joe for the many years of friendship to the Kelleher family. We will miss you but we will keep loving and thinking of you. You made it impossible not to.
My First Born...
You would always remind us all of how you were number one when really you would give up your spot in a heartbeat for your sister, your brother EJ or Frankie and especially Carsyn...you heart was that big. Born July 1st, 1968 I was a young 20-year-old with a baby boy. The cutest, sweetest little baby I had ever held...you filled my heart the second you were in my arms. Fast forward through the years and you were always so close to your family but I always felt we had a special bond and we were so close heart-to-heart and I think everyone knew it.
You talked to me about everything, checked in on me daily, and cared more about giving than receiving. Thank you for the Love ~ I felt your heart every day of my life! I miss you so much my heart has a gaping hole that cannot be sealed without you. I know you are in a better place and I cannot change it...but really I want you back.
I shared with you on many of our talks how proud I was of you that you embraced those two boys with your heart. I know how much you loved them and they knew they could count on you. I will be forever grateful for your time with Shani, Max, and Baltazar...your family!
Rest in peace my sweet boy...mom loves you ♥️
Joe, my sweet nephew - you will be truly missed. I want to say so much as well, but I cannot find the words to do so. I know you are reunited with your father Jose and your Abuelas & Abuelos. Although you were taken too soon - we know you are in Heaven and in God's loving presence. Love you and will miss you dearly, Tia Oti xoxo
It’s been days and I still can’t find the words to express my grief. But, I will miss you more than you ever know, and feel so fortunate to have had you as my big brother.
