Dear Joyce, Gina, Debbie and Karen:
I was just told of Joe's passing. My heart goes out to you during this difficult time. Had I known, I would have attended the Mass. Joe was very special to me and I will miss him. I was happy that he recognized me the last time I saw him in the hospital.
He always made me smile! He loved you all so much! His girls! He really did love you more than his car....really!
He always asked about my dad every time he saw me. Now, they are scheming together to see what trouble they can cause! They better be careful, they don't want to get "evicted"!
My sympathy and prayers to you and all of Joe's family. His smile will always be etched in my memory and there will always be a place for him in my heart.
God Bless,
Pat Rossi
