Dear Joe: On Wednesday, you and Dad will be interred together for eternity at Forest Lawn Memorial Gardens in Pompano Beach. I've finally been able to do this with the help and support of my dear friend Patty. This will be a difficult day but I take peace in knowing that you and Dad will be in your final resting place.

The herons that you loved have been walking all over the parking lot and golf course giving me continual reminders of you and how much I miss you. I'm awake most of the nights thinking about you. The void in my life is often unbearable. I am so grateful though for the years that we were part of each other's lives. There couldn't have been a kinder more understanding grandson than you. When I have problems and I have many, I think of what you would have done and it helps. I think of your patience and easy going manner and I feel better.
You will always play a big part in my daily life. You are always with me Joe. You'll never be forgotten. Love, Mam

Time is supposed to help I keep being told. It doesn't. I am in the wallows of grief and can only describe myself as "stuck". Losing a son is life changing. I am counting down the days until the holidays are over and when they end I can go back to my "new normal". Listening to holiday music and seeing people shop for holiday gifts is heart wrenching for me and I need to leave.
Life as I new it can never be the same. I think of you, dad, and pop constantly. I look forward to when we can all be together again. Love, Mom

It doesn't get better Joe, it stays the same. Your life and your spirit are with me always. I cry every day still. You were and always will be what keeps me going. My love for you and the memories of you wont ever fade. Rest in peace my love until we are together again. I only exist without purpose. We will be together again. Love, Mam. Your candle burns brightly on your memorial table.

EVERYTHING. I miss your perpetual smile, your constant happy nature, the bounce in your walk, our hugs, and your love for Benny that you talked about so often. So much is missing in my life that I can never have again but will remember always. Rest in peace my son. Your life was not in vain.

I now know personally how debilitating Ptsd can be. I am I the thrall of it. Any sighting of a ventilator puts me into a panic with chest tightness, heavy breathing, and immediate sobbing. Sleep is next to impossible and when I do sleep, I dream of you mostly and now of dad, both of you in a coma and waiting for both of you to awaken. It's not getting any better over time, only worse in spite of my grief group and psychologist. Joey your loss is catastrophic to me. I miss everything about you. Rest in peace my son.

DEAREST JOE: It's 2 months today since you left this life. It doesn't get any easier, it actually gets worse. I still cry every day over the loss of the life that you will never have yet I treasure the 29 years that we did have. I did receive your vivid signs this past week letting me know that your spirit is with me always and it gave me great comfort and the belief that there is something beyond this life. I continue to burn a candle perpetually for you. I try to focus on all of the wonderful things we did and times that we had laughing and having fun. Joe, my thoughts of you are constant. My love for you and my wonderful memories will never fade. I love you with all of my broken heart. Till we meet again, Love, Mom MaryAnn

Mary Ann, I am so saddened to hear of Joes passing. I don't know if you remember me as it's been at least ten years since we met but I was friends with Joe when we worked together at Kmart (we had so much fun at that job!). That same summer he took a trip up to NH with me to visit Franklin Pierce and he fell in love with the school. Such good memories. I'm so glad to have met Joe and will always remember his kind heart and infectious smile. My thoughts are with you and your family.

Dearest Joe: I recently returned home from CT. after your Memorial and Celebration of life. 177 people signed your guest book and many more didn't sign it as the line was so long that many bipassed it and just walked in without signing it. Both parking lots were filled as well as the streets. Did you know how many people cared for you and loved you? So many people got up and payed tribute to you. It was a beautiful service and I will never forget the love and sharing. Vaughn, Jarrett, teachers, and so many were there for you. Brandon sent flowers as well as your mother, grandmother, and half brothers. It was such a wonderful tribute to the person that you are. I love you Joe and will be with you again. LOVE, Grandmother, Maryann

I was deeply saddened to hear of the passing of my childhood friend, Joe. My experience in the Boy Scouts was a huge part of growing up and it would not have been the same without Joe. While the rest of our classmates dropped out, I knew I had Joe with me to get me through. He was loved by all and always was able to make us smile when we needed it. My thoughts and prayers have been with the family since I heard the news and I'll continue to send out my love for the family. We'll miss you, Joe!

My deepest condolences to your family. To lose someone so young must be gut-wrenching. During this difficult time we can draw comfort from God's Word the Bible. Our God promises to get rid of everything that causes us pain, including death, in the near future and to restore our loved ones back to life. (Revelation 21:4; Job 14:14,15)

Message from Wayne Takach

July 8, 2017 7:21 AM

I can't begin to feel what a loss you're experiencing again. I don't know why life is so unfair? I can only trust that there's a reason a wonderful young man is gone. I can only trust he's with his loved ones, so many of whom left too soon. This is the only comfort I can gain from a boy and then a man I knew as my "nephew". He called me "Uncle Wayne" and I relished the sentiment. I just cannot know why he's gone? None of us will ever know. We're not meant to know, nor are we capable but must trust. This is one of the times when faith is tested and we can only believe there's a reason. On earth, there's no reason!
I will be there Tuesday, he will be a part of me forever.

My Dearest Joe : My heart is broken and the tears don't stop but I have to remember that your life on this earth is a gift. I will miss your calls, your cards and flowers, your smile and happy nature. Your 29 years on this earth were not in vain. You taught so much to so many. You radiated happiness to so many people. You had a goal and you attained it. You are with Dad, Poppy, Great Grandma, Great Grandpa who you never met having been born just several days after he passed. Oh how he would have loved you, but you are with him now. You are also with Uncle Joe Stankus who I am sure is still telling you all the jokes he has saved to tell you. Uncle Wayne is coming from China for your service. I have been hearing from people all over the country whose lives you have impacted. So my darling grandson, until the day we meet again, I will try to learn from you and do what you would have wanted me to do. Love, Mom Xxxxxxxxxx

Dear Mary Ann and family, Joey grew up with my son Brian Poulin in Middlebury so I remember his Boy Scout days, his getting the big chocolate rabbit at the Easter Egg Hunt at Shepardson, and other fun times. I was lucky enough to be his fifth grade teacher at LMES. I still have the stuffed cat he gave me. I ran into him several years ago and was so happy to see what a great young man he had grown up to be. I am so sorry for your loss. My prayers are with you all at this very sad time.
