Read MoreIt was always a treasure to have Joe in your lives. One of God’s innocents, he truly accepted and extended love throughout his life. It always seemed like he believed every day was Christmas, and your family brought him gifts weekly if not daily, just by visiting with Joe.
He is now at rest and in the peace he deserves.❤
