Brian, As you know Danny and I are deeply saddened by the passing of your dad. We will always have the days of coffee and donuts on the front porch. Remember what I told you, you have made him proud. Keep that close to your heart and when you feel moments of weakness think about that and pull strength from it. What you have done with your life this far has made him proud and happy. Continue making him proud, he will always be smiling down on you with that smile we saw when he was speaking of you that day. Until we meet with him again. Rest easy Joe.
With Love,
Danny and Mary
