Aunt Di - I remember Uncle Joe with a big smile on his face, cracking a joke and making everyone around him laugh. No person is without their challenging side and you have strength and heart for the both of you. Jeb and I send our love to you and hope to see you more in the future. You are in our hearts and thoughts every day. xoxoox Fifi (Jaki)
