Dear Hunter Family,
I am sorry to hear about Joe's passing. Joe used to come over to the house to play on weekends when we were kids. I have wondered what became of him. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Sorry we could not be with you during this time but want you to know that our hearts and prayers are with all of you in your loss.

I remember Cousin Joe mainly as a child with those blue-green eyes that knocked your socks off. He suffered greatly in the last year and is now at peace in a better place. A life too short.

May beautiful memories of happy times together give you comfort and peace.
