Patti and the McMullen Family,

Our deepest sympathy to you in this very difficult time. In times spent together, Joe was nothing but a class act. I will always remember Joe sitting on our back porch after a party with Tommy and Madison teaching them the names of different sea shells and truly enjoying it. I never spent as much time with Joe as I would have liked. Please know that we are hear for you in the difficult times ahead and please don't hesitate to ask if you need anything at all!

Love,
The Hassall Family

Patti
Love is forever. It guides us through our life on earth and steers us toward the kingdom of heaven. Your love for Joe is felt by all who are in your presence. A charming personality with a warm smile and a gentle voice is the man I met who I knew would be the one to take care of you. A good family man with four loving children is just what the Lord had in mind. Your strength during this past year has been amazing. Take comfort in knowing that Joe is not suffering and he is now at peace.
All of my love to you,
Your brother,
Richie
