Sammy Freitas remembers Joey

Joey,
I find it very difficult to decide which fond memories to share because every memory I've had with you have been so fond, unique, and exhilarating- just like yourself.

I can't begin to tell you how many nights I anxiously waited for JoeDirt199 to sign online so we could have our teenager talks about everything and anything, which made sense to no one but somehow you always understood.

I always thought our sneaky sisters were up to no good, but I realize why they were. You always wore a smile (sometimes cheesy =), even in the most unpleasant situations. You were the life of the party and would risk embarrassment for a good time (No, no... your Superman dance at Adri's wedding was amazing, I promise! I'm just jealous I can't do it).

Speaking of embarrassment...
You were always there to pick me up when I would fall. Literally...when I went flying off the barstool and landed onto the floor of the infamous V.I. bar. Who was there for my rescue? Joey P!

The phrase " Some of God's greatest gifts, are unanswered prayers" may mean different things to different people. I can tell you for me it means countless concerts and phone calls from my mom and sister as they karaoke'd to your 21st birthday hit list CD in our backyard. That's right, just my mom and my sister, no one else was there! My mom is still convinced it should have been sold in stores because everyone was missing out on such an amazing thing.

Now the amazing thing we are missing out on is you.

I really hope God answers our prayers for justice, because He already has taken you as the greatest gift.

Love you and miss you Joey
