Kim - It is a year later. I can not imagine your pain. I think of Joe often. When I automatically laugh at myself and say, "Silly me", or flash the hang loose sign to congratulate someone, I smile and think of Joe. Someone said it best in this book. Joe made a "life imprint" on me. His presence with me will continue to make me smile, inspire me to be a servant to others, and love every moment of my life. If I may ever help you or your children in any way, please do not hesitate to call me. Dan Perkins

Dear Kim: I just heard the sad news of Joe's passing today. I remember so well how excited he was when ya'll were going to Aruba for holiday and then upon his return to the office learning of ya'lls engagement! He was truly a great person, no doubt a wonderful man, husband, friend and Father. I'm truly devastated for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family even now at this sad time. God bless you all.

Kim and family,
I would like to offer my sincere condolences to you and the whole extended family. I knew Joey as a kid in New York state, but never met him as an adult. From reading the comments and talking to my sisters that knew him well, I am really sorry that I never met him in later years. I offer my prayers and best wishes to you and his extended family and circle of friends.

Joey was a loyal friend, kind, smart, hard-working and the list can go on & on. I was truly blessed to spend 4 years of college with him. He was a special man with great character & made such an impact through the quiet way he loved & served others...never desiring to draw attention to himself. I am grateful for his life. He will be missed but never forgotten. He made a "life print" in so many people's hearts, including mine. He loved you and your precious children very much & his legacy will continue on through your family. I pray our Lord will comfort all of you today & for the rest of your lives. Love, Laura Brusenhan Smith
