Joe Geremia, who's posted on Neo for years,
is, as many of you know, very unwell due to
Parkinsons Disease. Joe is experiencing pain
and feels that his time is short. He's still with us,
a gift we celebrate.
He asked me to "Go on Neo and tell them
I said hello." Such a small request.
I told him I would do that for him.

Thank you for keeping us up-to-date.
Please let Joe know he's been missed.It's a pity that we can't do much to relieve our friend's pain, but we do always remember him for his good spirit and his distinguished poetry.
Hi Joe
I reckon you know that if there was anything any of us could do we would. But we can at least say hello as do I and send my best wishes......stan
Hi Joe

in the community is missed ...

On behalf of Joe, thank you to each of you who've sent messages and thoughtful words of support and kindness to him. He does enjoy hearing them. Joe is unwell and in pain, but sends his love.
Hi Joe
There is no use saying I can even imagine what you are going through so I won't. I know you must be in a lot of pain and I hope you can get at least a modicum of relief from any pain meds available to you. You likely don't know this but you always inspired me to keep writing my scribbles in hopes of one day becoming as good as you are. But My thoughts as well as many are with you and I hope you find relief when you are ready.......................stan
Hi scribbler,
Your comment, as well as the others from Neo poets to Joe, are all so heartfelt and touchingly beautiful, that to read them reaches the depths of my soul, nearly piercing it with your good wishes, care and love. Thank you all, on behalf of Joe.
Joe
You know we would share your physical pain if we could but just know that we are there with you always.
Your poetry still rings out and there in eternity we will walk again and talk of all the words we wrote.
Things and words may seem hollow, but in being that, they reverberate throughout the universe.
Our Love always, Ian and the children..
Gypsy,
Many thanks for being part of Joe's everyday and sending us words of him, bless you for all you do.
Take care and know that we love you,
Yours, Ian and the Children xxx
Thanks, Ian.T/Sparow/Yenti,
Again, on behalf of Joe, your words are such a pleasure to read. There's nothing hollow about them, imho. I must tell you that I'm not Joe's caretaker, but I will make sure that he gets your messages, which he does enjoy.
Gypsy
The fact that you take the trouble to assist Joe, is the act of caring, and it is a blessing that some such as yourself are such Angels xxx
It is no trouble to care, and
It is no trouble to care, and a gift to be able to do so. Thank you very much.
Hi Joe
I have always held you in high esteem as a poet and a great human being....our thoughts and prayers continue to be with you....sending your way lots of love...
