Kathy and family,
I am so sorry to hear about J.J's passing. I just received an email from my niece Erin. No words I can say will lessen your pain but I want to send my deepest sympathies. I know I have not been in touch much over the last several years but I considered you and JJ good friends. I hope to catch up with you when the next time I get in town. My thoughts are with you and your family.

Cathy, Amanda,Brian, Sue& Jack and family;
When I didn't see you Thursday evening, I knew something must have happened. I checked The Blade online this morning and found Joe's name. I am so sorry for you and your family's loss and I know how helpless it feels to not be able to make things better for the one you love. I know it's hard for everyone, but like my Mom, Joe is now at peace and in a better place. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. I hope I can make it to the funeral on Monday.
Your good friends,
Pat and Chuck Schmitt
