Not sure what to say?

Chris, Maria and the entire family. Joe was one of my oldest friends. I knew hime since we were 7 years old. Barbra and my mother were also great friends. I was shocked when I saw this. I wish I kept in touch more often, but life has a way of passing us by. Be strong and I will say a prayer for all of you.
