I am so sorry for such a tremendous loss! Joe was an incredible man with an unmatched social conscience. He inspired and challenged me as a law student and later as an attorney to treat everyone with compassion and dignity. I will always be grateful that I had the opportunity to know him as a colleague and friend.

Joey D was a nice guy and a good man. He helped many St. Ambrose Housing Aid Center clients weather their legal, financial and emotional storms. His service to others will be remembered fondly.

May I offer my sincere condolences to the family and friends of Mr Delclos. I know that losing a loved one is not easy, but our faith in Gods promises can help us get through difficult times like this. Please know that God cares and will give you the strength that you need. At
2Kings 20:5, he says," I have heard your prayer. I have seen your tears. I am healing you." I Hope this brings you comfort and helps you cope with your loss.

Joe will be remembered as a gentle soul, singing "Danny Boy" for every party St. Ambrose had. One Christmas we exchanged names, and Joe had mine. He gave me a wooden mug holder, which is still on my kitchen counter. Every day he is remembered fondly, now prayerfully.

Joe was one of the nicest people that I have ever met. It was a privilege to know and just talk with Joe. He will be missed, God Bless Joe.

Hello I truly understand why you want heartfelt prayers. That is why I love the prayers of King David who poured out his heart to God when he was in distressed. Notice how he prayed to God at psalms 61:1-2 there is says,Hear O God, my cry for help. Do pay attention to my prayers. From the ends of the earth I will cry out to you. When my heart is in despair lead me onto a rock that is higher than I am. May the God of peace be with you all.
