Not sure what to say?

Dianne,
Words cannot express how sorry I am about the passing of Joe. I will miss our conversations and his knowledge on every subject..especially sports. One of the last things he had said to me as he watched you walk across the dance floor at the radiology Christmas party..."Look at her, isn't she wonderful.. Dianne is the best thing that has ever happened to me"

Diane: Our deepest condolences to you and all of the Dougherty family. Joe was a respected member of our community. May you find comfort in the wonderful times you shared. Your neighbors ~ Ashton & Anabela George

My condolences to Dianne and all of the family. Joe was a good man, friend and mentor. I met him years ago while working at Arbor Glen, a retirement community in northern New Jersey. He did some great work for the organization there and he and I became lifelong friends from then on. We stayed in touch regularly even though our work took us to different parts of the country. I am most thankful for his support when I stepped out of corporate life and took the chance at starting my own...

We will miss you Joe. You were a wonderful neighbor and fixture in the community; respected by everyone whose life you touched. Your passing leaves a void that can only be filled by the wonderful memories you gave us. It was an honor and privilege to know you.
Dianne, I hope the wonderful memories you two created will sustain you.
Sincerest condolences, Nikki DiCaro, neighbor and friend, Media, PA, June 22, 2018

My condolences to Dianne and all of Joe's family. I have known and worked with Joe for over 20 years. He was my personal job coach as well as organizational consultant. Among the many gifts that Joe possessed was his ability to understand and have insight into both individual and organizational life from a distance. He had an amazing capacity to not only understand, he also could help coach behavior towards genuine growth and improvement. For much of the past 20 years, I have spoken to Joe...

Erin D. & Family... My heartfelt condolences go out to you and your family. From the stories Erin has told me, Joe was a special person who loved his family and friends. The pride and satisfaction he must have felt...in regards to the success and togetherness of his children as well as being surrounded and supported by family and friends during his last moments. My thoughts and prayers go out to each one of you.

Dianne, Jean and I are so sorry for your loss. Joe was a wonderful, warm, friendly person with an easy smile. You did such a great job caring for him in his final days. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

My condolences to your family. Joe sounds like he's left a lasting positive impression on so many around. I'm sure you loved him very much and hope you will always feel warmed knowing how much he loved you.

Dear Dianne...we are deeply saddened to hear the sad news. Joe was so amazing. Please accept our heartfelt condolences. May you find the courage to bear this irreparable loss. Please convey our deepest sympathy to your family.
