Dear Colleen,
May you find comfort in the love, memories and the years Joe and you shared for so many years. He truly loved you and you were made for each other. You two were the most committed couple I know and may we all learn something from the love you shared. I will keep you close in prayer during this difficult time in our lives, as you feel the loss of your husband and I feel the loss of my Big brother. May we all find comfort in the strength he showed in his final days and the memories he has left us to share. Remember you will always be a part of our family.
Love to you,
Donna
