To Joe's Family,
I am a faculty member at UIC Pharmacy, and knew Joe pretty well at work. His passing was a tremendous shock to all of us. He left us way too soon. Many people in the College relied on Joe, and we all liked and respected him as a colleague and consummate professional. He will be missed, and his absence noticed for a long time to come.

Dear Liz, I am so sorry to hear of Joe's death--you have moved deeper into the difficult landscape of loss but as we said to each at Charlotte's service--a small consolation is that the loss is so great and that the love has so sustained and transformed us. I will be thinking of you and perhaps we can have tea some afternoon to make twilight less oppressive. Mary H-B
