Vicki,
My heart hurts knowing that you are grieving. I felt like I knew Joe just by the loving way that you would speak about him. I loved the sweet way he would make you breakfast muffins, your lunch etc. I pray that the peace of God that passes all understanding will help you through this time. Love, Amber

I'm so sorry to hear of Joe's passing. My deepest condolences to Vicki, Diane, Ruthie, and all of his family and friends. His cousin Linda and I had the pleasure of spending time with Joe and Vicki during several visits they made to California. He was a loving, kind, funny, and fun man. He and Vicki were such a lovely couple (my heart goes out to you Vicki). I know his cuz Lindy was waiting toward the front of the line to greet him on the other side.
