I love you and I hope your doing alright !! If you need anything Just CALL!!

Love You always,

Joe,
It's only been three weeks since you left me but I miss you so much sometimes I think I can't stand it.
I wish you could come back for just 5 minutes to hug me and say goodbye, but I know that's not possible. I loved you the first time I met you and I will love you forever. Until we meet again.
Your wife, Anita

Joe,
Although we didn't see each other as often as we should have I thought of you many times. We would talk on the phone and catch up on both of our Families as often as we could. You Sharon and I had some GREAT times when we were kids and of course The 3 Musketeers of the early 60's had to do everything together ! We were all so close in age Sharon #1 You #2 and then Me #3 ( the Baby ). I will Miss your phone calls very much !I will Think of you often and you will ALWAYS Be Loved...

I will always cherish the the memories at the lake and our birthday celebrations that we shared throughout the years. I will truly miss you. Anita thank you for your support of Joe and for being there with us.

Anita, The love and support you gave Joe through out the years will always be remembered. I will miss him dearly. He was my connection to the family when I was unable to be there. He kept us all together. In Loving Memory, from your baby sister Jarrie. I will miss you very much until we meet again.
