Please continue to watch over me and my family Father Joe. I know you're telling everyone jokes, and making them smile. I'm glad I was with you that Saturday....not knowing that was going to be our last Saturday together until we meet again. Thank you for everything. You changed my life. I love you always.

I will miss you Father Joe. Taking care of you over these past 7 month's, has been an honor and privilege. I'm taking your advice slowing down a bit.....focusing more on myself. I'm upset with you, for being stubborn, and not letting me hold your hand until you went home. You were the person I could talk to for hours and hours about my life, and you was always giving me advice. Who do I talk to now? I love you, and I miss you dearly.

Father Baran baptized my three sons at St Clare Parish in the late 1970's. He was involved in in the citizens push to change Highway 36 in Wind Lake and Muskego to a safer 4 lane Highway. I remember him with a smile. He lived a good long life. The family must be very proud. Thank you Father Baran.
