It’s so hard to accept your passing, even harder to comprehend why…. For so many years you were my family and always a good friend to me….. So many times I wished that I could possess your laid back, easy going demeanor, always calm and cool even in the face of tragedy…. I will miss you Joey, you left us way too soon, for all the wrong reasons….. Rest well Leaning Feather, I will NEVER forget you
