Joseph LAVERDURE

In Loving Memory of Joseph "Joey" Laverdure Nov. 18, 1985 - Aug. 28, 2004 http://members.aol.com/bmxrdr67/imobl.html Always In Our Hearts Forever thoughts and memories will linger in our minds, we search for answers to our questions, yet nothing we can find. A life was taken, reason unknown, way before his time and the one thing we know for sure is "Only God Knows Why." We sit and wonder when we'll see our friends once again, above us watching from the heavens, sit brothers, Joe and Ben. We've hoped and wished, dreamed and prayed for someone to help us out, how can we live, and he be gone, our hearts are now without. To see you Joe, your eyes, your smile, for the expression upon your face, we sometimes think, and always dream about your warm embrace. You are remembered, as one so loved, and missed among us all, the good times we had and your hearty laugh, these daily we recall. The love you gave, the time we spent, the thoughts and memories, is all we have to remember you, which we all can do with ease. Because you Joe, affected our lives in ways we can't explain, without you here, without your presence, it only causes pain. In my heart, you'll always stay; your love, your warmth and care, and often still we turn around and see you standing there. We'll see you soon, our dear old friend, the day is soon to come, and as we wait, we count the days, to when our pain is done. We live each day, as if you were right here along our sides, even though you're watching from above, you're with us every breath we take. So as we move ahead each day, daily we will dedicate the things we do, it is all for you, because this is your fate. And with these words we hope Joe sees, that he'll forever be, one of the greatest souls to touch our lives, of this we guarantee. With all our love, Mom, Nikki, Billy, Becky, Brittany, Little Benny, Sheila, Lisa and all your many friends whose lives you have touched Published in the Chicago Suburban Daily Herald on 11/18/2005.
