We were privileged to spend last Thanksgiving with Cathy's family and Joe's in- laws. While we know he wasn't feeling well, he made a gallant effort to be involved in all the "doings", and I know it lifted his spirits to feel surrounded by family love. We will remember him with love and his ability to face his overwhelming medical issues with grace and faith. John and Pat
