I lost the one who has for the last 20 years been the man of my dreams. He said I was the only one he ever really loved. We were soul mates--a match made in heaven. We loved the same things and did everything together like the Bobsey twins. I remember when I would be on the dance floor and he would yell out over the mike from the D.J. stand---"Hey Bebe I'm coming to get you" and then started dancing with me. He opened a whole new world for me, he was romantic, loving, kind, sensitive, my protector---never a mean bone in his body. A new world opened for him too. He became a loving step-dad to my little Bryan. What a great time we had. Can you imagine Joe tent camping with the boy scouts---well he did. He was super. He loved the other 3 kids as well and had such a great relationship with them. He was overwhelmed with joy and love that they would constantly be flying down from Long Island to see him and of course spending both the holidays with him. He felt so completely included in this close family dynamic. He was so thankful for this relationship with them which was not your typical step-dad scenario. I am so happy and thankful that Joe was a big important part of our lives. I am thankful for the love we had for the past 20 years and will forever treasure it. My heart is shattered but Joe will see me through this just as he did in the past---7 years ago. I love you Joe---forever and ever. You are absolutely the most fantastic person. I am so glad it was you and me. I will always be YOUR LOVING WIFE......Barb
