Although we have not seen your family for many years our hearts are broken for your family and your loss! It is never easy to understand when a parent loses a child or a sibling loses a brother. We are reminded every day that this terrible disease effects everyone and more needs to be done to help these wonderful kids!! We are thinking of you all, wish we could be there this weekend but we are now living in NC.

I am Damien Hughes' mother, and I only met your Joe a few times. Once , I came to fetch Damien , and you invited me in for coffee. We had a wonderful conversation just sitting in your kitchen. Up until then I didn't think there was anyone in the neighborhood kind enough to accept me for who I was. (an addict with a lot of issues and only a year clean)
You accepted me and then some. So many times I've walked my mother's dog past your house, and I so wanted to knock on that kitchen door to talk to you, but I wasn't sure if you would want to have a visit. I pray that you will call me at some point because I really would like to offer you support that only two mothers that have gone up against the Battle of a lifetime for our sons can understand. I don't know why some have to go home to God and others are spared. I was spared and I can't understand as to why. I shouldn't be here.
One of Joe's last posts that I could see on Facebook, was about his faith in humanity, and in good people. He clearly believed in God and His Infinite Mercy.
I iimagine it is of little comfort now, but you will see him again in Paradise and what a joyful reunion that will be!!
I am absolutely serious as to my offer of any type of support. I hope to hear from you whenever you might need to talk to someone , day or night.
My phone number is
857 417 3076.
May God Bless you, and give you the strength to endure. My Mom and I extend thoughts and prayers for your family during this unimaginably painful time. Your son is a wonderful addition to Heaven.
He will always be remembered by myself and my mom as "Little Joe", with he and Damien running around like rockets on fire. They shared a bond years later even in their illness. God bless.
