Dear Mike, Brian and children - We were so sorry to learn of Uncle Joe's recent death. Would certainly have attended the funeral had we known. He was my favorite uncle and my sympathy is extended to all of you.

Brian,

Please accept my condolences for your loss. My dad Otho Higley Sr and my grandfather S.H Curtis who have both passed on took me along on many interesting visits to Inglewood Hardware. Your father and uncle were wonderful men who always made positive impressions.

Uncle Joe was the last of a great generation of a great family, and all of us feel the loss. I'm sorry I can't be there with you, but I will keep you in my prayers. (I don't feel much like a matriarch, but I'll try to do the job!) I'm working on the Crane genealogy and all contributions of family facts will be appreciated.

Dear Mike, Brian and all grandchildren, Joe's death is a great loss to me and to the world. His passing leaves us all poorer on this earth but we now have an advocate in heaven. His death must have brought about a celebration in heaven, he had lost so much of his family as have you. But imagine the reunion of them all on the other side. I am so sorry I can't be there. I will be there May 5 for Jessica's graduation from nursing school and perhaps I can see you then. My love and deep sympathy to you. Dagmar sends her sympathy. Norma Halmagyi Hanson (cousin)
