Almost a year already since losing our sweet, soft-spoken cousin, Joe. Think of him often and our last embrace a short time before his sudden death. Pray that Rita and their daughters are doing well. Sending my love.

Rita and family,
I cannot be there today but Joe is in my thoughts. I will always remember him growing up and saying "Now which twin are you?" whenever we saw each other. I have many fond and happy memories growing up of family picnics and our Christmas visits when I was little. Family always meant the world to him. Diane, Lorraine and Rita and your families, you all will get thru this with the love & support of each other & knowing he's still with you always.
