Joe's passing has left a void in my life. I always thought that he would be with us for many more years to laugh with and to argue with, but God had other plans.

May Barb find peace knowing that he no longer suffers. Barb, I will walk beside you in your saddness and support you with my entire heart. I will miss him, too.

Love from your favorite sister.

We have had great fun over all the years we've known each other. I looked forward to seeing you and Barb (and the rest of the crew) each week at the bowling alley. You and your hugs will be greatly missed.
