Joseph Mannella - Online Memorial Website

Joe and I were so close. Joe I remember when I was a little girl you were always there.  You wiped my mouth, changed my diaper, fed me and washed me. Being your baby sister was very special to me and I am glad I was the chosen one to be that little girl.  As I grew up our bond changed. Your advise throughout the years meant so much to me and its all in my heart.

My fear as a little girl was that when I got older and started a family my kids would be so much younger then yours and Bill's, but that wasn't the case we had children that were a year a part.  They are 2 peas in a pot.  I am glad that our children are as close as they are.  I will never forget our camping days and the NEW YEARS EVE's we spent together. You are one special brother and my heart aches everyday without you.  I Love You so much.  Thanks brother for being there.

Love you forever in my heart.

Joe was an inspiration to all who knew him. He was my older cousin, and my friend. I have many wonderful memories of good times and even some sad times but through it all, Joe was a leader, a mentor, and a shining example of what a man should be. God Bless Joe.

I have been so blessed to have had you in my life.
Memories never die.
