Translation confirmation

Hi

Can someone please confirm the exact translation of this for me

约尔我珍爱的天使。

Before I scar myself with it I need to make sure it is correct.
Thanks
Steve

I was thinking that you might want the conformation from the others, but it seems that not that many Chinese natives here in the forum.

Anyway, I would say the complete sentence is
约尔，你是我珍爱的天使。＝ Joel, you are my cherished angel.

Well, the same as in English, I guess, you can omit "you are" here; therefore, I propose 约尔，我珍爱的天使＝ Joel, my cherished angel
but it is just a phrase not a complete sentence, so you don't really need the full stop in the end.

For the comma, I would not choose to omit it. As that of the English version, "Joel my cherished angel" seems awkward to me.

Another possibility is
约尔是我珍爱的天使。＝ Joel is my cherished angel.
This is a complete sentence; however, it's more like you are telling someone the fact, which to me does not really express the feelings...
