Those things were all over the house,” Joe recalled. “They day you were born it was a bright day, like a light I needed that moment. Mom told everyone I wanted a boy. Not true, I’m a girl dad.” 

Joe went on to explain how much Audriana and her sisters, Gia, Gabriella, and Milania, mean to him.  

“You came at the right time when our family needed you the most and for that I will always be grateful. I have to say YOU all don’t know this but I am challenged by you girls to always be better. You all encourage me to fight harder. Your life has given me breath in so many ways. You teach me the importance of love and I am thankful for that gift. Thank you for always being patient with me. Thank you for always loving me so unconditionally. Thank you for all your kisses and hugs still remember and miss them. Thank you for exceeding every expectation in school, dance, and just being you.”
