I am sorry for your loss. I remember Joe, Rose, Eddie and Katharine growing up on Gamma St. Joe would come down when I was little and help Daddy with little things from time to time. Joe would always tell Daddy when they saw one another if you need anything let me know and I will do what I can.
Prayers are with you Rose, Eddie and Katharine.
