Dear Joan and Family,
We are sorry for your loss. We will miss Joe so very much. When Annie and Jim got together, Joe quickly became a very special part of the Kawa extended family. Joe had the rare gift of making each person in his presence feel valued and loved. May the love he bestowed on all of you help you comfort each other in this saddest of times.
