Dear Ginger,
I am so very sorry to hear of Joe's passing. Jeanette Fisher sent me this sad news in an e-mail that I just opened and read. I know you must be devastated, Ginger, to lose your soul mate of actually 50+ years. Know that you and your girls (and their husbands) and your grandchildren will be in my prayers for God's peace and consolation.
Love,
Amy Prudhomme

To The Family Of Joe Vosburgh.
Ginger, Paige, Polly, Megan


So sorry to hear of the loss that you are experiencing. At no time and under no circumstances is it easy to deal with the loss of someone we love so much. May you continue to find the comfort that you need as all of you deal with this from each other. Times like this helps to draw ones together and treasure the time that we have for one another.

Thinking of you in this time of great loss.

My dad did business with Joe for years and I remember him talking to him on the phone and it never failed that my Pop always hung up laughing and smiling. Joe was a great guy and I am sorry to hear of his passing.
