Joey, It's been two years since you left us.... TODAY. Time sure does fly by, but there isn't a day where I forget about my buddy Joey. I think about you from time to time. I see Barb a lot, I love her! She looks like she is doing good. I hope you are taking good care of them, watching them from up above. As well as your buds- I see Jimbo here and there, we aren't as close as we used to when you were around or when we were in Highschool. He's always working or at the gym.. he looks good though. I'm finding out how ridculous college is. I have homework out the wazoo! I've often been up at CHOP to see my cousin's baby, Cameron. She had twins and the one twin had to have several surgeries due to his undeveloped heart and other complications. They use this machine to pat on his chest and back to inflate his lung, it reminded me when I would come visit you and they were always pounding on your back. The baby looks like hes getting better, I hope you can do me a favor and watch over the little guy for me too. We need as many angels on our side as we can get! You are truely an angel and I believe that you are watching over me when I am driving because there have been some close calls. You were always a good driver! : Well- enough of me blabbing on.. I just want to let you know that I am still thinking about you and will never forget you. I will see ya when I see ya... Love you buddy!

Joey,
You were a great cousin to me and you'll always be.I Really don't remember much when i was younger but i do have fun memories with you. Like the time When you rode me on your 4 wheeler and we almost flipped because of the train but you handeled it and held onto me tight to make sure i didnt fall.You were always a great person and cousin, You lived your life to the fullest as much as you could and could do.You always had a smile on your face and you always put smiles on others. Also do you remember the time when all the cousins would go on the railroad tracts and you and ricky went up to some house to ask what town we were in becasue we walked so far.They must of thought you guys were nuts.But oh well, We will never forget you and you will always be kept in my prayers as well as everyone else's.Make sure u keep a good eye on Mom-mom,pop-pop,Uncle Jim, And Little Eddie!!!
Love you!

It's been a year today. I haven't had such a hard time dealing with your loss since this time last year. I still don't get when people say that pain fades over time, nothing's fading for me. In a way I don't want it to fade, because I never want to lose a memory of you or let you fade out of my mind for a minute. I miss being able to just go to your house and hang out whenever I wanted. Things haven't been quite the same around here with you gone, it seems like you were the glue that held everything together. But everybody's doing their best to keep it together. I'm not sure what to do without you sometimes, but I'm working through it with some help. It's not easy but everybody's doing their best to get through this rough time.

It's been a long time since we lost you, and yet not a day's gone by where I haven't thought about you. Things just aren't quite the same without you around. During the summer I thought about how i used to sleep at your house and we'd get up and go to the hockey rink to play or so i could watch your game. You really meant and still mean alot to me. I didn't get to go to your grave on your birthday but once i get my car set up me and Julie are gonna head up there. Everybody misses you so much but we're all there for each other so we're getting through it.

To Joey,
It's absolutely amazing how often I think of you. I see your smile every time I walk into this room. You're right there next to your cousin, pop-pop & mom-mom. Seeing all of your faces is what helps me to get through another day. There is not a day that goes by, that I don't have some thought about all of you.
I honestly feel in my heart that you are all fine and I hope that you are looking out for all of your family and friends. We could use your prayers and guidance. Sometimes things down here just get a little too tough to handle and we lose control. The pain of losing you is never gone. It's always there. But so are the great memories. They are our only relief from a hurt that comes from deep within and climbs right up the back of your throat and makes you want to cry out loud. Time does go on and life has to continue day by day, but it has changed. You're not there. So we learn to adapt. It's hard and we don't like it at all, but there is no choice. Our only comfort is our memories. They need to stay as fresh today and tomorrow, as the day they were made. Going on with one's everyday activities is the hardest thing to do when you lose someone that you "loved with your heart and soul." No one said "life" was easy, but the "death" of a loved one is even harder. Please give us the strength and the will to carry on, but most of all give us your best smile to remember for the rest of our lives. I miss you all, please pray for us.
Love,
Aunt Pat

Joey, Last night I had a dream about you. You came to pick me up and we went to the Franklinville Lake to chill. I don't remember what exactly was said in our conversation but you just had your big smile on your face, just how I always remembered ya. Then we walked to your house and you're family was all there and everyone was happy. It was like you never left us, yet it was a secret to the rest of the world that you had come back for a second chance in life. It was really weird but I felt like I woke up from a day that I actually spent with you, and I had a big smile on my face... I hope you're doing okay, we miss ya buddy!

Ive been talking to you alot lately, I hope you can hear me; I fill in the blanks because I know exactly what you would say. I miss you Joe. I find myself alone and with nothing to do lately, and I can not deny the fact that its because I know that I would be at your house or chillin with you. Im not the person I used to be. Im missing my sidekick, my lil buddy, my best friend. Our friendship was something most can only imagine. Thank you Joe. Like I said, I hope you can hear me cause I havent stopped talking.

Joey, I knew you vaugely through school. We were in the same lunch in 11th grade. Its a shame I only talked to you just once at a party a Jimbo's house over the summer. I really didn't even know you were sick until graduation. Your chair was next to mine with a balloon. I didn't know you were in the hospital until I saw Greg crying. When your name was called at Graduation everyone gave you a standing ovation. I did too. I felt very bad for both you and Greg that day. I send my condolences to the Rowan family, Greg, and Jimbo and all Joey's other friends.

LiL Joey Rowan: You came into my life about 2 years ago, my freshman year. The first time we met, you, Jackson, and Jimbo walked to my house from your house because none of you were old enough to drive. I started to have a little crush on you, I mean come on now, everyone has! You were a cute kid! Everyone loved Joey, he was the man! We hung out here and there which was always a good time. Every time I would see you, you would have a smile on your face and were full of life. I don't know how you did it, but I admired your strength because no matter what the circumstances were, you had your head up high. Every time I see a mustang I think of you! It seems like yesterday when I saw you on the side of the road doing a burn out in your "Silver Stalker" with that same big smile on your face. It's ashame you had to leave us so soon, I mean I didn't even get a chance to race you with my car! or shall I say, Daddy's Vette! I would have lost anyway.heheYou were really something special Joey, and I am so grateful that I had you in my life as a friend. I pray to you every night, and I know you are in Heaven smiling down on us. Your mom, your dad, your sister, your friends, and even STEVE! hehe Even though you are not here physically, you're here with me in my heart. I will never forget the time I spent and the memories I made with you. I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world. But until the next time we meet.. Take care little buddy, I am really going to miss you! Watch over your loved ones, keep them safe. We all love you! "Breathe Easy".. Goodbye
Love always,
Gina
Joey's Family: You are all in my prayers. You raised a good kid, I know he had a blast while it lasted. I don't think he would have wanted it any other way. At least he's not in pain anymore, and that smile of his only has gotten bigger. Stay strong, he's still here with us whenever we may need him. He will always and forever be in our hearts!! Take care..

Dear Joe,Barb, and Barbara Ann Joey was a remarkable, loving,warm,kindhearted indiviual.Thank you so much for letting me share his life with you. I love him with all my heart and he took a part of it when he left us.Missing him will probably be the hardest thing I will ever have to do, Joey showed me the true meaning of "live for the day and don't worry about the next." He fought long and hard but had such determination to get things done that were important to him. The love he had for his Mom and Dad and sister was so beautiful and pure. History said there are seven wonders of the world, but they were wrong, there is eight and his name of JOEY. My love always Aunt Leenie

Joe...
Dirt bikes, thats how we started chilling with each other. We spent countless hours back at Grochowski's pit ripping through our ghetto track that we designed, seems like just yesterday... You were getting fast, I'll never forget that day you were on my back fender the whole lap. I was impressed, and i know that day meant alot to you. Then it came time for the L's. Then we spent even more hours working on the black mustang, stripping the interior, putting the radio and speakers in, steering wheel... We pimped that car everywhere. So many times we topped it out on 55. All the nights at Philly. It is still to this day so hard to believe how much stuff we could fit in one day. We lived everyday to its fullest, never wanted to stop. Sorry I put you through a car accident dude. That's ok u got me backmost of you dont know bout this one. It's a shame you never got to see the car that you talked me into building... its real pretty Joe... I miss you man. I can't wait to see you again, my friend. God Bless.
Barbalaba, Big Joe, Barb:
You guys are my family. I will never forget the gift you gave to the world. Expect to keep seeing me even if you dont want to! I spent more time at that house than any of you. I love you guys.

joey--hey lil cuz! i've been up every night for the past two weeks thinking about you, i miss you so much. everyone does. i just want to start off by saying i was so glad when greg stood up in front of everybody the other day and said the 1st time he met you he beat you up. now i dont feel so bad, i remeber the 1st time u came over our house u stole my ring pop so i had to beat u up. i still luv ya though. clara and the boys and i were remembering "wing nites" we used to look forward to that every week u would come over and we would see how much we could tear the house up while our parents ate 10cent wings at the bar. we had a lot of fun. u always had fun though, u loved life. u meant the world to your family and friends. shawn is a lot like u-really goofy and happy and talks a lot. i hope he grows up to be happy like u remained thoughout your life. its real hard right now, the world misses u. we all love u joey.
aunt barb, uncle joe and barbara ann-we are all in so much pain right now-you more than anyone, but we know joey wants us to be strong so we gotta do the best we can to get through this. i love you guys. sorry i'm not around that much but i am going to try better, i miss everyone, i love you.

We have some great memories, from the tons of forts we built in my backyard to the nights when our parents went out and we destroyed the house any way we could. You did so much for me I can't even begin to explain it. I'm lucky to have been so close to you for so long. You meant the world to me and I'll never forget you. I love you and I'll always miss you.

The 80+ entries in this guestbook so clearly reflect the variety of people from every part of Joe's life who loved all the amazing parts of who he was. I feel so priveleged to have know Joe for the past 3 years and to have been his nurse @ CHOP. He taught me so much as a person and as a nurse about what it means to live with a chronic illness and do so with dignity and character that was so distinctly Joe. I will forever miss him calling me "Geek" and pegging me with gummy bears.
Rowans: The service yesterday was such a true tribute to Joe. You are in my thoughts and prayers....

Joey,
You thanked me many times for bringing "school" to you. It was always my pleasure. I couldn't believe it when my supervisor asked me to bring the HSPT to you at CHOP! You begged to take it!! That's certainly got to be a first! I grew to know, admire, and love you over the past four years. You had a stength, faith, and courage that surpassed anyone I had every known...and you such a little guy. Knowing and working with you is the greatest gift I've ever received as a teacher, maybe as a human being. I know you're with God and the other angels now, but you need to keep watching out for us down here. We're going to be surely missing our own "angel."
Barb, Joe, and Barbara, you'll remain in my prayers. You guys did a WONDERFUL job giving Joey a normal life. Hats off to you and God bless. Keep in touch.

Joey, I am so sorry I did not come today,
It was just too hard is all I have to say.
Your body was there, but your soul seemed so far,
But then I realized I will see you in each shining star.
"Too hard" means nothing compared to your fight,
You fought harder than anyone before your soul took flight.
You pushed on, and defied doctors, nurses, and sometimes your family, too,
It was like you had an internal grin and were saying, "You can't tell ME what to do!"
Some may say you lost your life to cystic fibrosis,
But you won that battle by fighting that diagnosis.
You have incredible family, friends, and even your dog, Steve,
We all love and miss you and will feel you in our hearts, I believe.
You have reminded us to live each day as if it were our last,
All of a sudden, we realize life goes by too fast.
So even though I was not there today,
Your life will mean more to me than I could ever say.
With so much love to you and your family,
Jenn

It's the dead of winter and it seems like we should be out playing hockey right now. I'll never forget how you dragged me out in the cold every day, all winter long, just to practice. I'll never forget the endless hours I spent out there with you, Doug, Andrew, Rick, and your gang of goofy friends. I still remember the day you got the A on your jersey when we played on the Fury. I was so proud that we got to be on the same team after all we'd been through. For a kid that was constantly sick, I wondered where you got the strength to run around and terrorize the whole hospital. I think you just loved life more than anything. I truly wish everyone could have had a friend like you. It hurts so bad to see you go but you'll always be in my memories. To Big Joe R. & family: I know Joey meant the world to you. If there's anything at all that I can do for you, please let me know...

I don't even know where to start, or even if there is a proper way to put down here what I'd like to say, but here is my best shot.
From the picture of me holding Joey at my house that I don't remember on, I have so many memories of him and the times we shared. Barbeques where he'd try to keep up with me on hot dogs and burgers, Easters at my house with the egg hunts, a few new years eve's at grandmom's house, and a week in Florida when he left part of his thumb on the cruise. We were into different things sports and hobby wise, he'd try to get me to fish but it didn't take. Nothing a little nintendo-time couldn't fix. As we got older, I had my friends and he had his, but whenever we'd see each other it was always good times. I'm so glad that he got to come up and visit me in 2001 at Lehigh. He met all my fraternity brothers and partied a little with us too.
To Joey: I love you and miss you bro. You may have always been smaller, but you were, are, and always will be the big man on campus. I'll see you soon cous.
To Barb, Joe, and Barbara Ann: I know I may not be around as much as I would like to be, but my love and support for you are unwaivering. Please contact me if there is ever a need or if you just need to talk. I love you guys.

We got stopped by the train i remember lookin over at you in your mustang and you had this goofy happy look on your face like you just couldnt wait to get there. When you got there and everytime you made a pass down the track you'd come back all smiles. I just want to say im happy that your not suffering anymore, but also sad for your lost! May you live your life after death, and walk beside the lord through the gates of heaven. and in your new life time may you live peacefully and happy. You will be missed but never forgotten.

I only hung out with you once but the first time I met you I could just tell the type of person you were- welcoming, funny, and most of all strong. You hung in there for a long time and that shows you were a fighter. To the family and friends of Joe I wish you all the best of luck with getting thru this, just know that he's always looking down on you and will help you get thru this tough time without him. Just know he isn't in pain anymore and wants the best for all his family and friends. **RIP Joey**

Dear Joey, I have childhood memories of you and I playing together at the camp grounds when our families got together. You were a strong young boy then, you grew up to be a strong, handsome man. You will be very missed! Rest in peace Buddy!
Dear Joe, Barb, and Barbara Ann,
My thoughts and prayers are with you through these tough times. Joey would want you to be strong like him.

Joe Barb and Barbara ann I was so sorry to her about Joey I would always ask Peggy how he was doing I prayed for him every day I know just by knowing Joey and seeing him at the Rowan weddings or parties that he was a good and happy young man. And that he was a fighter with the disease that he had. I know that Joey is smiling down from heaven now.If there is anything that I can do for you just let me know and I would be more than happy to do it.Love Anna peggys friend

Dear Joey,
Your grandfather once told me we are all on loan,because we belong to God.I have to say your parents were very lucky to have gotten you!I know you are at peace and now full of a better life,but being the selfish one I am gong to miss you.Your sense of humor and wit are just a few of your better qualities but... that "SMILE" is something I will never forget.Your a wonderful man and I'll see you again,but till then watch over the family as we need your love right now.
Love

Joe, I can't believe you won't be coming to see us again here at CHOP. No matter how you felt you always had a smile and a joke. Shooting rubber bands at unsuspecting nurses, like me. Cheering up a little baby or child in the hospital. You were truly a special kid. I will miss you so much! Love, Terri

Joey,
I'm looking at the snow it's a big
one and all I see is your big smile when your Dad got stuck in the snow three times on Grant Ave.
We wanted you to be warm, but you wanted to help dig the car out. You were full of love,fun,and excitement. You always made me laugh. You will always be in my heart and thoughts.
My Little Rambo
I love you with all my heart, Aunt Clara

and you will keep a close eye on my

You were so brave and we are so proud of you. Larry and I will miss you. We love you and will think of you always.
Love your cousins,

It's hard to know what to say so I will simply say what I feel. It was a wonderful experience to get to know Joey and his family. I feel blessed for my opportunities and journeys I have experienced through the 2 and half years I knew him. I will miss his strength, spirit, and his humor. Barb, Joe, Barb, and the the rest of his family I wish you all the best. I am greatful for having the opportunity to care for him.

TO REMEMBER ALL THE HAPPY TIMES
LIFE STILL HAS MUCH IN STORE
SINCE YOU'LL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN
WE PLEDGE TO YOU TODAY
A HALLOWED PLACE WITHIN OUR HEARTS

Joey, hey bud everyone misses you so much. It was a big reality check for me when you passed. I always thought you were strong when dealing with your disease. You were such a fighter, at least I know your not in any pain no more. I'll always cherish the memories I shared with you. Watching Ricky fall down the cliff camping; me, you, Greg, Ricky riding Uncle Trolls 3 wheeler and flippin it in the woods. You cuttin your head and leavin blood on the wall. You are truly missed and never forgotten. I LOVE YOU!!
