Joe, you were a wonderful man. I'm going to miss you dearly. I want to thank you so much for being an amazing husband to my aunt and also being there for me, when I lost my grandmother. It really meant a lot to me when you guys went to my high school graduation in place of my grandmother.
Hey Joe thanks so much for coming to my cookout in July. It was great to see you.
To Joe's Family

"Into my heart's treasury, I have slipped a coin. Which time cannot take nor a thief purloin. Oh, better than the minting of a gold crowned king, is the safe kept memory of a lovely thing."

Joe has enriched my heart's treasury; I am a very rich woman having been loved by him and loving him in return.

I will miss you greatly and I will try to continue to spead your life's lessons of being kind, thoughtful, generous and compassionate.

You will be missed but never forgotten.
Love,
MeMe
