Dear Rita, Debbie & Family:
So sorry for your loss. I came across the notice in the Trib while looking for my brothers. How ironic that they both passed away at the same time. It is so difficult. I have always felt like I knew your whole family even though I never met half of them. Please get in touch with me Rita when you have a chance. May your memories of Joe comfort you.
Love you,
Sheila Kelly-Simnick
