To the entire family of Joe and Olga Connell,
There are no words to express my deepest symapthy for your tragic loss, I'm sorry just doesn't seen like enough. His bright smile and handsome face has not changed since high school. It is so heart breaking looking at Joe and Olga's pictures of their happy life and how in love they were. They were robbed from a long life together and that is extremely sad. May they rest in peace and may God help guide thier loved ones through this tragic time.
