Alice, Barney and Lou, My heart is deeply saddened by the news of Joe's passing. Joe was a great man and a wonderful friend to Papa. He was a fun-loving, caring and giving man. Every time I saw joe out and about he had that wonderful smile on his face. My heart is aching for all of you here, but to think what Joe is experiencing in Heaven gives me a since of joy and peace for him! He's going to get to celebrate Christmas with Jesus, oh how special that will be. I will continue to keep you ALL in my prayers daily. Love you!

Alice, I was so very sorry to hear of Joe's passing. I've been thinking of the "short" chat's we've had at Wendy's on Sunday evenings. He loved you - you now have another guardian angel. Love & God's Blessings be with you. Sarah
