Dear Ginny, Kathleen and Rosemary,
When I remember Ginny & Joe it was in the 50's in Chicago and Diamond Lake. They were the cutest couple of teenager ever to be seen. All the O'Donnell memories are ones full of celebrations, laughter, warmth and love. What wonderful formative years we were blessed with! Joe was a blessing to all.

When I learned that my Uncle Joe had gone to be with Our Lord, I was working in my garden. Now my sweet Uncle Joe has taken The Lord's hand and walks in God's Garden. This man displayed a remarkable love for all who crossed his path and he was a true inspiration to me on how to see others through the eyes of Christ.

Dearest Ginny and Family, Kathleen and Rosemary,
My sympathy, love, and prayers are with you all. I will be with you in spirit as you send Joe off to join the O'Donnell clan in heaven (a Diamond Lake style welcome comes to mind). He was a wonderful man!

Our prayers are with all of Joe's family at this time. What a wonderful man for all of you to have had in your life. He was devoted to his family and one of the most kind, patient, loving and unselfish people ever. It was a blessing and honor to have known him.

My deepest sympathy to all of you at this very sad time. Celebrate his life and do not mourn his death. The Irish have it right. Remember all the beautiful memories you will all have of the wonderful man he was. You now have another guardian angel to watch over all of you. Take comfort knowing that his pain is no more. I am sorry I am too far away to come to the services. But know I will be thinking of all of you.
"May GOD grant you always a sunbeam to warm you, a moonbeam to charm you,a sheltering angel so nothing can harm you. Laughter to cheer you, faithful friends near you, And whenever you pray. Heaven to hear you"
