I told him so many times not to involve yourself in gangs and to stay away from them. When I seen him hanging around those types of people, I would get so mad at him. He was a nice kid and gang banging wasn’t for him.

I have the same issues.. My son was 18 when he was murdered by a felon he left behind a lilttle girl and his whole family he just hanged out with the wrong people and no matter how much a parent preaches to their children they will do what they want to do the evening that my cousin call me a told me to get to the hospital because my son supposed to have been murdered I lived 50 miles away I couldn’t beleave what I was hearing .. I was mad all the way to Fort Worth Texas and when i got to the hospital they sent me to the morgue I thought I was in a dream I couldn’t think or anything I had no thoughts but I knew something was really wrong I kept on praying that thay was some kind of mistake.. Me and his dad was the only ones they let go in but they wouldnt let me see him so still we where not sure that it was him they told me that i could not see him and they would not let me see him like that. He had a tattoo so i asked to see the picture of it and then I knew it was him i fainted and I still couldn’t beleive it was him it took them 4 days to get him ready for the funeral so in the mean time i was praying that I will recieve a call from him still was I in denial at the funeral my son didn’t look like he usally did I was in shock and still was I waiting for him to call . This same night that he got killed another girl got killed also it is sad for any parent to go through this but i let it happen for a reason I guess and the big issue that i have is that Fort Worth PD. says they know who did it but cannot arrest this idiot but i will leave up to GOD .. For all us parents out there they only thing I can say is enjoy all your kids while you can can you never know whats in store for them and try to guide them right for if they fall you would not feel its your falt.. I love my son and miss him everyday and i want justice but if theres no justice on earth i know that guy will pay in the long run…

Elizabeth I love you so much and your story is sad but one that needs to be heard. You are a wonderful mother to all your children. I remember when you were pregnant with Joseph about 5 or 6 months and I came to chicago to visit with my little 2 month old. Its difficult to believe as you state even now that Joseph is not with us. Thank you for having the courage in bringing awareness to the abundance of gun violence that is seen everyday. Thank you for your testimony I love you always.

This was such a beautifully written yet very saddening story. No on will ever understand or be close to feeling your pain. No one can undo whats already done, but we can keep him in our thoughts, heart and mind. He was all that you described and more. Everybody misses him. He will never be forgotten. Hes a beautiful angel protecting his loved ones, May he wait for us in paradise. Until we meet again. We love you Joseph!
