ahh joe, you were always my favorite, so special and funny and fun, you'll be forever in my heart. i will remember you with your head cocked to the side, chin up, big grin planted on your face, eyes twinkling as you (seemed to be) so obviously planning your next devilish prank. that was a long time ago and i miss you joe. was it you who won that family cookie-making-contest with your secret potato-chip-cookie recipe or was that the recipe you were trying to beat? remind me when i get up there. love from colleen silva -- who still shares a birthday with you, and always will.
