To Willie and Family,

You have my deepest sympathy and my heart goes out to you in your loss. It's the little things, the small, everyday occurrences that you'll remember. The laughs, the stories, the smiles. And even though it seems like you can never recover from your loss, it is these very memories that will help push the pain away and bring back the smiles.

Rest in peace Joe, "God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be. So He put His arms around you and whispered "Come to Me." With tearful eyes we watched you, and saw you pass away. Although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hardworking hands at rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best." -

Willie, may your memories of the love Joe had for you sustain you through the days and the comfort of GOD's blessings through the trying times to come. I love you and I am here for you to talk or whatever you need me for. My prayers are with you and the family of Joe. Rest now Joe in paradise. You will be missed.
