My condolences to cousins Diane and Sharon, and to the whole family. Joey (as I fondly remember him) was always so kind to me. I treasure all of our times together as cousins growing up and visiting at grandma and grandpa’s house. And those rare but treasured times in our adult years. You are in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. Love Always, Roberta
