Hi,



Joseph's Granddaughter, Kym, is my Great Friend & because Kym is one of the Kindest-hearted, Most Thoughtful, Sweetest people I know, I know that's partly because her Poppy is so much a part of who she is. I know that Joseph was a WONDERFUL Man from how much Kym Loves him. I'm sure that he's in Heaven watching over you all from above now, rather than from where he watched over you from here on earth. May Joseph rest in peace. God Bless. My prayers & thoughts are with you all.



Love & Hugs,



Lisa
