Dear Ann, Joey & Family,
Our hearts break for you all. Although we don't see each other as often as we'd like, we think of you all as family. We will miss Joe and want you to know that we are here for you. We hope the precious memories of the "good" times (like the fun we had on D Street with Timmy and all of the kids) will sustain you through this difficult time and remain with you in the future. I know that Joe is with his beloved Timmy and we'll all be together in God's paradise some day.
May God bless you and hold you in the palm of His hand now and always.
With love and our deepest sympathy,
Dan, Dolores, & Family

Dear Ann,
My heart goes out to you and your family in this time of grief that you are going through now with the loss of Joe. We might all be getting older but I don't think we'll ever forget the good times we had going to St. Anne's School together. I still remember when you and Joe started going together and you always made the cutest couple. We might not have seen each other for a long time but I am so glad that I did get the chance to see you both at our Reunions and recapture memories of old times together. I know in my heart that Joe is at peace now with God watching over you and your children. My thoughts and prayers will be with you always. May God Bless You and your children and help you get through this time of sorrow.
Your friend always,
Lorraine

Say not in grief "he is no more" but live in thankfulness that he was. Goodbye Joe
