Linda-I can barely see what I am typing through my tears. What a
wonderful friend you are and were to Joseph. I'm dealing with my own pain
of losing my Mother, but thankfully I had her for 69 years. Your
friendship ended far to soon. I am truly touched by all you've done.
Please know that you were thought of today, fondly.

Joe, I miss you terribly. Saw a Guy who looked so much like you I almost made a fool out of myself. Love, Linda

Dear Linda:
My mother has recently purchased a computer. Shes
been compulsive ever since she has discovered all the new
programs it has given her. I caught her crying today when I came
home from working. She read your web site to Joe. I myself was
touched. I had a friend of mine die of drugs. And actually he
was the last person we thought would die of anything. He was
very loving, very happy go lucky. We werent aware he took any
drugs. For him the first time was the last. I am sorry to hear
about your dear friend. He sounded like a wonderful person.
In fact, I felt that he was, by all the effort and compassion you
have shown through your web site. It sounds like you yourself
are a wonderful person. My mother and I both agree that this is
a wonderful way to help the grieving process when someone you
love dies. And a way to reach out to someone who thinks about
committing suicide, or using drugs, or helping someone who dies
of a disease, or dies of accidental deaths. We thank you
personally for loving someone so much and caring about helping
others through your painful experience. I am sure god feels the
same way, as well as Joe.
Sincerely,
Sharon (52) and Rebecca (21)
