Condolence: Dan, Lori, James, Jennifer & Jada; Joe and I had a wonderful conversation at Matt and Meaghan's Jack and Jill a couple of months ago and I will surely treasure that evening even more now. I was pretty down as I had just gone through a huge loss and even with his struggles he was so upbeat about life that it reminded me of what really is important. I never really got to know Joe that well while we where all growing up in the same neighbourhood as I was just that much older than him but I sure remember him. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

Condolence: Dear Dan And Lori and family: I was Joe's Grade 4 teacher and have also been kept informed by my mother, Jean Moore, about "The Cookie Monster". I was so sorry to hear the Joe's cancer had returned. I am sure that you had already gone through your grieving, but it is still such a blow to lose him. At least now he won't be suffering, if that is any consolation. I remember Joe as an energetic young lad, full of life. I am sure you will treasure the memories you have. I was sorry that I could not be at the funeral, but I am sure you have had much support over these difficult days. God Bless. Scott Moore and family

Condolence: I would like to say I'm so sorry to Joe's family for their loss. Joe was a great guy and an awesome friend. Joe was there for me as a friend when ever I was down, and we would talk for hours about life and such. Joe will be missed so much by myself and his other friends. I talked to Joe on MSN 4 days before he passed away and we had a good conversation about death and dying. I told Joe I will see him again when God says it is my turn to go to Heaven, and that seemed to make Joe happy, and it made me feel happy that I could bring some happiness to Joe in his time of need. May Joe Rest in Peace for ever. xoxo
