Joe Hailey,
What a magnetic force of a man you always will be, especially to me. I know, because I was drawn to you from the moment we met, some 38 years ago now!
It’s taken 3 long years for me to be able to express my feelings and love for you and put them in writing, knowing others will read them. You always knew though, because we never hesitated to tell each other how much we loved one another.
You were and still are the most hilarious, chivalrous and incredibly wonderful man I’ve ever known! Our love transcends the ages and will last forever. I unconditionally and unapologetically love you to the moon and back and then some!!
Thank you for the gift your living has brought to each of us. You touched so many lives in your lifetime. But you coming into our lives was truly the best thing to ever happen to us. You left an indelible mark on all of our hearts. Holt, Trey, Sierra, Blaine & I think of you so often. You’re still in our conversations regularly. And when we come upon a puzzling situation, not quite sure what to do, we think “WWJD” (“What Would Joe Do” 😉 and somehow the solution comes to us. You must be listening!
We love you and will ALWAYS remember you. You are in our hearts to stay!
You will ALWAYS be Forever Loved & Forever Missed.
The “kids” and I discussed it & decided that in knowing you, you’d prefer us to remember you & celebrate your life on your birthday rather than on the day we lost you. You always were one to generate happiness rather than sadness.
So, Happy Birthday my love...
I miss you, “Tall One.” (More than you can imagine!) ♥️
Just like the story is told in Princess Bride - “Death cannot stop true love.”
XOXO
Sheri
