joel, I just wanted to say that we didn't have too many times to enjoy the lake with you but the time that we did have we really enjoyed it. The fireworks were great and yours and Elaine's company was great too. I know you enjoyed it'cause you told me so,so many times when we talked. I hope you are happy and I know that you are so much better off than all of us are here. Miss you.

My dearest Joel,
I miss you terribly! Your phone calls & your visits. I Love you so very much! I will treasure the memories of all our good times, my favorite in Tybee Island. We had so much fun. I wish we had said "I do" but we will one day. I know you will be waiting for me & I will visit our special place quite often. I am so glad we both found Love & happiness again.
Always yours, Elaine

Well Dad it has been so long since I have seen you. I can't even describe how much I miss you. I think about you daily. I started a new ball team this year. I am excited but I don't get to wear our number, 20. I know if you was here you just wouldn't have that. I have a new necklace that has #20 on it that I am going to wear around my neck every game so I know you are with me. Message continued below.
