Thank you Kathy. I know you had a special connection to Mom and Dad. And thanks again for the teddy bears. They will always have a special place with us. Love, Dory, Eileen, Joe, Kenny, and Michael.

I was so happy as a child to go to your house. There was always so much going on and you made me feel like I was one of your own. At a time in my life when I lost my own father, you helped give me joy!

Thank you Uncle Joe,
You will always be in my heart.
Love,
Kathy
