Dear Byrne family,
K.D and I want to convey our condolences to you on the passing away of Joe. We were fortunate to meet him a couple of times in the last two years and found him to be a very kind and loving person. We will surely miss him at Bharat & Kathleen's wedding. However, he sure will be smiling down and showering blessings on his baby girl and her husband.
You are in our thoughts and prayers at this time of grief. May his soul rest in peace.

I remember sitting at grandmas watching old home movies and when you saw a young Aunt Joanne, you smiled and said"Ugh,those eyes, that's what got me". I'll never forget the look of love you had on your face, hoping that one day I would find that kind of love. I admired the loving husband, father and grandfather you were to your family. Not to mention the amazing uncle and Godfather you were to me. You will truly be missed Uncle Joe ??
