Jan and family-I can't be with you today due to being in the hospital, but my arms are reaching around you in a huge hug. There are no words I can express to tell you how sorry I am for your lose. I didn't know Joe, but I'm reading such wonderful things and learning so much about him even from when he was a very young child.
