First I want to thank the person who wished to remain anonymous that sent flowers for Angie. You didn't have to, you may not know me, we may have never met but you are a good soul. Thank you for your kindness and the beautiful flowers.
I also want to publicly thank Trcubed and his wife for the flowers they sent, it really meant a lot to me.

Thanks to all of you who have sent well wishes, prayers, and thoughts to me and my girls, please keep us in your prayers and thoughts if you aren't religiously inclined. To all those who PMed me, thank you. I apologize if I did not answer some, it is no reflection as to how I feel about you, simply a bit overwhelming. I havehad a lot to do the last few weeks and honestly sometimes all I can doo is sit and stare at the wall. Sometimes I simply don't want to talk about it at all....often actually. Again, I want to say something but like some of you, I simply am at a loss for words most of the time. What can be said....has been said.
Thanks to you who have called, and those who wanted to but didn't have my number, it is the thought that counts. The fact that you wanted to call but had no way, I know who you are and appreciate the thought, I consider you all friends. I have felt overwhelmed by the love that you all have shown through my time of great loss. If you ever need help with your shooting let me know. I ain't much good at digging ditches anymore, and me and that Spanish guy Manuel Labor can't hang out anymore without him hitting me in the knee. I will do anything for you I am able.

Me and Sarah are doing Ok. I am having some tough nights, had one last night. Sleep comes rough and is way too short. We are coping the best we can. They changed my schedule at work so I am on days now, but on the wrong end of the week. I am planning on knee surgery sometime after 30th of January. Wish me luck.

We are still waiting on autopsy results but at this point I am realizing it doesn't change anything for me. The light of my life has still gone out, a doctors report is not going to change that.

Love you all.

Joe

Joe, as everyone has said, we are here for you. One thing to remember, and I am sure you know this, is that now is when your daughter needs you more than ever. That is really a huge responsibility, but from reading your posts (and arguing with you on occasion) I know you are up to it. You are all she has left, so do a good job of taking care of Joe. And when I finally get a good bolt gun I may just take you up on the offer for help.

These are easy words from someone who hasn't experienced losing a beloved wife. However, I'll say them again to you Joe........ Keep up the faith and if you truly believe, you'll see her again. That is something I can offer with absolutely no doubt at all............My prayers are with you and your daughter my friend.

Isaiah 49:14-16
But Zion said, "The LORD has forsaken me, the Lord has forgotten me." "Can a mother forget the baby at her breast and have no compassion on the child she has borne? Though she may forget, I will not forget you! See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands; your walls are ever before me."

Oh my! He has ENGRAVED you on the PALMS of HIS hands! Praise God! He has not forgotten you brother! Though great be the tribulation and overwhelming the lamentations of our hearts, the God of all creations sits Shiva by our sides. He shares our grief and weeps with us. You are not forgotten brother. You are forever written on His hands. Praise God! Praise the Holy One! Praise the Lion of Judah! Praise my Rock! Praise He who has Conquered Death! I am praying for you brother.

Joe, everything that an be said has been so Im not breaking any new ground here. The best thing I can tell you is you'll see her again and you need to take care of yourself for your girls sake, and for your own. ANY time you need to talk or to get out of the house shoot me a PM and Id be more than happy to listen! Hang in there, it will get better.
