Dear Joe: We were very sorry to learn of your father's passing. We trust that he had a peaceful end. It had been very mentally & physically rough on him these last few years dealing with the medical issues of your mother, Georgeann, and his health as well. But now, the two of them are together again & we know they are in the place that we were all born to someday enjoy, Heaven. Losing both parents in a very short period of time will take a toll on you, but time heals all. We're satisfied...

Joe, Kristi, and LilyAnn: You are in my thoughts right now and if there is anything I can do you just need to ask. Take care of each other and remember good times.
