Aunt Jean, Cathy, Chris, Greg and Drew,
Though I wasn't around to see it too often, I'll always remember and treasure Uncle Joe's smile and laugh. I know your love and memories will help you through this sad time. I believe with all my heart that he is no longer suffering, and I very selfishly am glad he's reunited with his parents, and is keeping his baby brother company. God's blessings to you all.
Love,
Kate
