Troy,

I am so sorry to learn about your Dad's passing. I know you probably don't remember me, but Joe was my first cousin. My mother was his Aunt Joyce. My prayers are with you and your family at this time.

Rest in peace cousin. Give your Mom and Dad, Aunt Joyce and Uncle Jimmy a big hug and kiss for me.
