Our Prayers are with you. Memories of your dad, granddad and husband are really great from fireworks, caring for pets, meals at the house and special events in our lives. I'm sorry to say I will be out of town that day but we will continue to pray for you.

I will miss so many things about Joe. He is immortalized in a stained glass piece at a Spanish church on Pleasant Hill Road. I'm so grateful to God for placing him in my life. I always felt in the arms of Jesus when he hugged me. Condolences to the family, especially Jane. I love you all.
