My dear friend Joe. Monday and Tuesday afternoons will not be the same without you. You had lunch with me every week for years. Even before our beloved Lil passed away. You are now reunited but not forgotten. Give her my love as well. I will truly miss you and it was pleasure to be your friend. RIP MY DEAR FRIEND.
