Dear Kathy, Gabrielle, Jonathan, Melissa, Clara and Gracie,
Words can't express how saddened we are for your loss. Joe's profound devotion and sincere love to his family was evident to all that knew him. He was a kindhearted uncle and a great brother-in-law. Joe touched our lives with his tender and gentle nature. The gifts that he shared with us will undoubtedly be passed onto to his beautiful children. We will miss Joe, but feel blessed we were lucky enough to have him in our lives. Joe was such a selfless family man whom we will always remember. Our family is here for you, wishing you peace and strength, now and forever.
God Bless You, Love Always
Uncle Don Michael, Aunt Denise, Whitney and Abraham Kirkwood
