The Carlson Family, I am so deeply sorry for your loss. I remember the first day of school when Joey entered kindergarten. I don't know who was more nervous, John and Jodi or Joey. He was a bright little boy, who took such pride in his work. I am honored that I got the chance to work with him at Whitehall. I have a heart full of memories. Each one, will be one that I will treasure. I keep thinking to myself, "WE have a beautiful angel in heaven. A beautiful, beautiful angel. One of our Whitehall Angels. We are all thinking of you. To our little "Super hero", we will miss you dearly rest in peace little buddy. We love you!

What a BRAVE little boy who taught us all so much. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. Joey touched my heart the day I met him and heard he had this terrible disease. He was brave and courageous. "Being Brave for Joey" brought an entire school together to help a little boy with a beautiful smile, fight on. He will forever be my favorite super hero. My prayers continue to be with all of you. xoxo

Jodi, John and family, I am so very sorry for your loss, Joey will remain in all of our hearts and thoughts forever!! Your little Angel is nestled in Gods lap, wrapped in his loving arms, smiling bright no longer in pain!! God Bless Him and all of you!! We love you all!

We send our prayers and love to you all...Joey will always be a part of our hearts and prayers. Joey is our HERO forever. There is no comfort at this time to give except Joey is with God and all the other angels.

Our prayers and thoughts are with you as remember all the blessings Joey brought to your lives. Those we love are with the Lord, And the Lord has promised to be with us. If they are with Him and He is with us, they cannot be far away. With deepest sympathy, Donna, Dennis and Michael Melton

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

Jodi, John and family I am so sorry for your loss, my thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. I had the honor of teaching Joey at Whitehall. He was such a brave and courageous boy, just like the Super Heros that he loved so much. I have such fond memories of Joey with his big smile and wonderful personality, memories that will forever be cherished. Joey, your strength through everything is an inspiration to us all.

JOHN, JODI & FAMILY, OUR DEEPEST SYMPATHY AND PRAYERS GO OUT TO YOU, DURING THIS DIFFICULT TIME. MAY JOE BE AT PEACE.

For the past three years I have been fortunate enough to have Joey as part of my life. Though I was his teacher, he was the one that did most of the teaching. Joey taught me to be brave, to be strong, and to be courageous. He taught me to live each day to the fullest and love unconditionally. He taught me to smile through the pain and not to sweat the small stuff. In short, Joey taught me how to be a better person. Though it hurts, I take comfort in knowing that Joey is no longer in pain, and that there is a new angel watching over all of us. Jodi, John, and all, my thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. I love you all.

JOEY You Will Allways Be Loved And Remembered....

Carlson Family, Our family is thinking of you at this time, we have prayed and will continue to pray. Joey will always have a special place in our hearts.

Continued... Although we will all miss Joey we must remember that he is in a better place now - and all of his pain is gone. I believe that children, in all of their innocence and love, get a bit of a free ticket into heaven. And how sweet it must be, especially for someone who had been suffering, to meet the face of our Lord - and feel nothing but complete peace. In your time of mourning their is no better person to turn to than God. He already knows all of your troubles, all of your thoughts, all of your pains. Give them to Him, and feel Him comfort you. Please know that we are all praying for your family! www.NeedGod.com

Our deepest sympathy to all of your family. Joey was such a beautiful, amazing little boy that touched all that met him. May God bless him, let him rest in peace with no more suffering. God bless you all and stay strong as you all now have a very very special angel watching over you.

What a beautiful boy! If everyone had his smile, the world would be a beautiful place. Anyone who was a part of Joey's life were the luckiest people in the world. With Love.

Carlson family, may the care of friends and family,bring you comfort, and loving memories heal your heart.

Although I did not have to pleasure of knowing Joseph, I have taught two of his siblings. It is awful that this happened to such a great family. I would like to offer my sincere condolences to you all during this great time of sorrow. I cannot imagine what you are going through. Know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers. May you find some peace in the knowledge that he is now at rest and is no longer suffering. Until life is more gentle.... ~Jennifer

On the few occasions that I met Joey, I enjoyed playing with him and Joshie. They were also full of so much energy and spunk. It was inspiring that Joey's spirits were always so high. Sure - he had his bad days - but he didn't let it bring him down. When I was in 5th grade one of my best friends passed on. He had a bad heart and had been through multiple transplants. I didn't understand why he was always missing school and why he couldn't always play with us...and why he had to leave. He wasn't my brother, but in some small way I can feel for Josh right now. I have been praying for him - for his strength, for his bravery, for his happiness.

I do not know your family, but Tracy D. is a good friend of mine and I knew of you through her. My heart breaks for all of you. Having lost loved ones to cancer as well, I feel your sorrow. May you find peace during this difficult time and take comfort that your precious child is in a place where he can now no longer suffer.

We love you and pray that the good lord carries you all in this most difficult time.COXOXOXOXOXOXO
