Not sure what to say?

To this day, Joe was not only the best psychiatrist I've ever worked with, but also an inspiration to me as a Marriage and Family Therapist.

It has almost been one year and I still feel great loss.
I try to replace the sadness with good memories of him.
We will be lighting a yahrzeit candle in his honor.
Peace and warm regards to all.

Still miss him every day

I think about and miss Joe every day. I mostly feel sad, wishing that he were here enjoying his life. He was an important part of my life and marriage. Both my husband and myself loved and respected him very much. My heart goes out to the Schneider family for such a tremendous loss, as well as all you fellow patients.

I miss you. I think of it as being a bad dream and that I will be driving to your office. No one compares with you.
