Dear Christine,
Our hearts are filled with sadness at the passing of Joe. As usual he gave his all to fighting all the medical problems he encountered along the way. There are so many fond memories we have of him through the years and will keep in our thoughts. He will be in our prayers and I know he will be watching over you every day. You were a wonderful couple and you had many years of happiness. We will sorely miss him. God Bess You and Joe.
