Joe is a very dear friend of our family And I consider him a brother. He is a great guy and An awsome father and husband to his family! He will be missed dearly! We will never forget him and hold him in our hearts! WE LOVE AND MISS YOU SO MUCH BRO!
This evening I thought of you and your wonderful way of getting us through 9-11 and the gulf war...WISH YOU WERE HERE now to get us through the election. Your sorely missed.
A life well-lived doesn't end any more than the music ends, it echoes through time with whispers of beauty and grace. If we listen, we can hear the encore with our hearts, for the song plays on, just as love lives on. Just remember that grief cannot take away the happiness you shared, that sorrow will fade in time, but love rermains forever.~~ Cora Meyer, Louisville, Ky.
Hero makes ultimate sacrifice. This young made a sacrifice not for himself but for his country and people who love freedom all over the world. America will truly miss this fine young man. Godspeed to his family and thank you Mr. Hardy for making America safe.~~Robert Bowling~~U.S. Army Veteran~~WWII~~Louisville , Ky.
I was that which others did not want to be. I went where others failed to go, and did what others failed to do. I asked nothing from those who gave nothing, and reluctantly accepted the thought of eternal loneliness....should I fail. I have seen the face of terror; felt the stinging cold of fear; and enjoyed the sweet taste of a moments love. I have cried, pained, and hoped....but most of all, I have lived times others would say was best forgotten. At least someday I will be able to say that I was proud of what I was....a sailor.~~Ed Meyer~~ U.S. Navy Petty Officer (WWII Veteran)
There beside a grave she stands, a folded flag clutched in her hands. A silent teardrop on her face, her brave young child has entered grace. She does not hear the sermon said, just memories run through her head. The child she held so long ago, the child with faith she let go. The child who heard the nation's call, and in the end gave it all, without fear or thoughts of self, thoughts of freedom and little else. The bugle sounds TAPS in the wind, a mournul sound it does send. A reminder to us all, that for freedom, this price was paid, and her sweet young to rest was laid.~~May GOD and comfort you tonight and every night for the rest of your life.~~Norma Meyer-Coan, Louisville, Ky.
It makes no difference the color of skin – all blood bleeds red – and souls go to heaven, what made these men different was their courage to protect a great nation – people – FREEDOM! Rest in peace my brother .

TAPS the most beautiful bugle call, known as the most eloquent of all.~~Not only to signal the day is done, but to say goodbye, to a comrade, brother, or son.~~A melody so hauntingly profound, a piercing yet peaceful sound.~~Sounded over every soldiers grave, to honor those who were so brave.~~Soldiers raise their hands to their caps, saluting the fallen as the bugler plays TAPS~~ Rifles are fired in the sky, to say farewell to another American G.I.~~Listening to the bugle play, reminds us of the price they had to pay.~~ The sound is bittersweet, letting go of a hero, to someday again meet.~~Nothing is more touching perhaps, or can render emotion like the call of TAPS.~~You can hear the bugle weep, where men of valor sleep.~~Tears from a bugle fall, as TAPS is played, for the heroes who gave their all.~~ Ed Meyer, U.S. Navy Chief Petty Officer (WWII) Louisville, Ky.
You are always on my mind...I will never forget you. Another soldier joined you the other day, from Hudson. I'm sure you were there to welcome him at heaven's gate. Thank you for your friendship and being so brave and defending our country and helping others so they too can enjoy freedom like us. You will always be my HERO! Rest in Peace and God Bless You and God Bless America!
My sincere condolences to your family and friends. Unfortunately I know the pain they are feeling. Thank you for defending our country and doing what you believed in. We are free because of brave men like you. You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers. God Bless You! May you rest in peace.

The tide recedes but leaves bright seashells on the sand, the sun goes down but the gentle warmth still lingers on the land. the music stops & yet it echoes on in sweet refrains...for every joy that passes, something beautiful remains.~~Chloe CoanLouisville, Ky.
Remember me in your hearts, in your thoughts, and the memories of the times we loved, the times we cried, and the times we laughed, for if you always think of me, I will never be gone.
Think of me as one at rest, for me you should not weep. I have no cares, no troubled thoughts, for now I am asleep.--The living breathing me that was, is now forever still, and time goes on without me as time forever will.--Those of you who liked me, I sincerely thank you all, and those of you that loved me, I thank most of all.--It matters not if time began or if time will ever cease ? I was here, I used it all and now I am at peace.
Submitted with the Neil Family in mind. Love and Gratitude.....The agony is so great and yet I stand it. Had I not loved so very much. I would not hurt so much. But goodness knows I would not want to diminish that precious love by one fraction of an ounce. I will hurt, and I will be grateful to take the hurt, for it bears witness to the depth of our meanings, and for that I will be eternally grateful.~~I am sorry for your loss. May you find peace, strength, and love.~~Cora Meyer, Louisville, Ky.
