Joey was a gentle giant, such a precious man. The girls that were with him say, he was happy just holding hands. There was one thing about him, he couldn't stand to see you cry He would say "No kid don't do that." "Its gonna be alright." Oh Joey baby we love you, and we miss you so damn bad! Life really sucks without you, we want back what we had. It has been several years since the Lord called you home. Heaven needed a lead singer so they called on Joey Ramone. When I feel the tears start to flow in the middle of the night. I hear Joey's voice say to me "Don't cry, be happy, its all right".

Plans are already in the works for the Aug 27-28,2010 benefit concert in honor of Joey Ramone to raise money for lymphoma research. Merchandise from this event, and also from a website that will be created to download songs donated by several artists, will be earmarked to help cancer patients who cant afford treatment, and housing for patients and their families while receiving treatment away from home.
