Not sure what to say?

My name is Karen Paquin and I am a cousin of Father Angelo D'Agostino. My grandmother was his Aunt Marietta.I just finished reading the biography written by Joseph Novello about . I felt compelled to see if Mr. Novella was still living. Instead I found his obituary and I just wanted to say thank you for this beautiful book and give my condolences. I know that he and Fr.Dag are in heaven together .

I was so sorry to hear of Joe´s passing. He was a close friend of my late husband´s. He was in our wedding. We used to pass through to see him with our kids in D.C. Great memories.

I'm so sorry to just have learned that Joe passed away. Joe supervised me in his Middleburg, VA practice. I did therapy and he did medication. He was also the psychiatrist for The Foxcroft School. Joe was everything said in his obituary. He was kind, warm, funny, and a genius psychiatrist. We became friends while I was working with Joe. I also took people in need of the proper medication and help to his DC office many times. All my sympathy to Joe's family and friends. Godspeed...

I was a patient of his for a few years. Good psychiatrist. He helped me out during my time with him as my psychiatrist.

Remembering Joe's essential humanity, graciousness, and yes, charisma. I was privileged to know Joe when in residence/child fellowship in Ann Arbor. He was a master of language, but indeed seemed to be good at what ever he chose. Peace old friend.

Dr. Novello was a class act and a true inspiration in life. I came to him as 30 year old father who was about to be blessed with his 2nd child (2016). I felt lost and was dealing with crippling anxiety related to life. I felt as though I was losing myself. Dr. Novello came highly recommended and I'm so thankful I was able to work with him and form a terrific patient/doctor bond. He was very kind and gave me the calm and faith that I deeply needed during that challenging time in my life. He...

Remembering Joe, our dearest and thoughtful friend to all of our family throughout the years. Forever in our hearts and memories. Mari, Chica, Franklin, Patria and Rico.

Joe was a friend for 35 years. A group of us sat together every Sunday at Mass at Holy Trinity Church in DC. Joe´s faith was inspirational and enduring. He was wise, optimistic, and caring. Every Sunday as we left church, he would tell us "to make it a good week." I know he is now at peace. Our fellow parishioner, Joe Biden, sent Joe the attached letter on learning that he was sick.
