I just attended Joe's funeral. It was beautiful and brought tears to my eyes. David and Joel's duet was so touching. I will never forget when I was little calling Joe sloppy joe after he spilled something at Mom and Dad's house during one of their many card parties. He got a kick out of that. I was so glad my Dad and I got to visit with Joe and Ruth a couple of weeks ago. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
