To karen and the family,
I was totally shocked to hear about the passing of Joe.
When I first came here to the neighborhood, I remember how welcome I felt to meet the both of you during the childrens block party. Since then, whenever joe would drive down the road, he always waved, and when you both would be walking, he also said hello and always a warm smile. It was a pleasure to have known him for the short time I have lived here in passing.
My best wishes and...

Karen, Joe and Kelly:
I first would like to extend my deepest sympathies and I know that no amount of words can take away the emptiness or sense of loss you all must be feeling. I felt compelled to write this because when I learned of Joe’s passing the first feeling is disbelief, the second is of guilt. I can’t believe that although we live so close that I couldn’t even find the time to stop by and just say Hello. I just would like all of you to know that Joe was the rarest of souls;...
