Christine, Matt and Molly,

Apologies for the lateness of this note. We just found out about Joey through the Boston College Alumni magazine that noted Joey's passing.

Martha and I (belatedly) send our heartfelt condolences to you and your family. Joey was one in a million and brought joy to all who knew him. We are deeply saddened to learn of his passing and pray that you will find comfort and peace in each others company.

Sincerely,

Jim and Martha
