Not sure what to say?

Peggy, Will be keeping you in my prayers. So sorry for your loss! Penny-Ramsey Sox

Peggy so sorry to see the passing of Joe. I know we haven't seen each other in a long time, but I wanted to reach out to you and let you know I am praying for you. Joe was my neighbor when we both lived on Byron Rd.

Peggy, you're in our thoughts in this difficult time. I have good memories of working with Joe at The State IT department. He was always cheerful and helpful. I can hear him now saying "knock, knock" when coming by my office. Peace and good memories to you.

Chuck, so sorry to hear about the death of your brother Joe. The times I met him, he was so very nice. I know you will miss him and his positive force.

Joe was one of the nicest people I have ever known

We have good memories of Joe as we enjoyed Carolina football, basketball, and baseball, especially the college World Series in 2011. Joe was a pleasure even when the Gamecocks weren´t winning. He will be missed by all who knew him.

Joe and I were childhood friends but kept in touch occasionally. Joe was good man and he will be missed.

I have many fond memories of Joe M. but the family memories we shared at Papa Lawrence house churning ice cream is one at the top of my list. I didn't spend at lot of time with him once we got older but he will be missed.
