To Aunt Jessie and the Diglio Family,
Our deepest sympathy and prayers go out to the Diglio family. Words cannot express the sadness and mourning you are going through at this time. Uncle Joe will always be loved.

He always went the extra mile as he helped us when we had to deal with Rose Ann's father. First moving him to Nevada and later when his remains had to be taken to the Veterans cemetery. We wish we could have made the trip for the services, but it was not possible.

We remember taking Uncle Joe to the casino in Nevada and teaching him pai gow poker. When he and Rose Ann sat down at the table, Uncle Joe did not have much luck, but Rose Ann hit a royal flush. We then enjoyed a nice meal at the steakhouse. The best part was being able to spend time with the people you love.

Love, his niece and nephew Rose Ann and Mal Van Valkenburg
