Not sure what to say?

Think of Joel often and how much he gave to others. Joel and Mary were very special in our Lives. Joel and several other were instrumental in my early sobriety . We remained in contact for many years after I moved away from Mass. David Laston

So many. I miss you Joel!
Your family always welcomed us. So glad that Judy and the Kids could experience the hospitality and friendship Mary and you shared with us. I often use Joel's name when I speak at meetings and how much he influenced my sobriety. I met many but only a very few were close. Thank You for remaining in contact since 1977 until you left us on earth.

Dear Mary, Kevin, Yvette, Jodi & Jen: Sooooo many good memories. The Baby/ Lee you baby sat for, girls is now 37. I happened to drive up to the old neighborhood, yesterday, just cuz. Did not know about Joel's passing, then. He was a terrific guy with a precious smile. He will be missed.

Dear Mary,

I treasure the time we spent last summer together as family. What wonderful memories!
My heart goes out to you as you celebrate Joe and all that he did in his life.

With love, gratitude and saddness,
