Judy, Sherry, and family:
We were shocked and saddened to hear of Joe's death, and we're very sorry that we won't be able to be there. We're in Alabama visiting family until mid-Nov. You and Joe were among our first Salem friends through the Jaycees, and we remember those days with pride and also the friends that you were and still are.

May God bless you and comfort you in this sad time.

Love,

Alice & Mack Welford
