Marsha - I am so sorry to see the notice of Joe´s passing. May you get comfort from God, family and friends to move through your grief and this difficult time. Think of you often. I understand what you are going through - I lost my Jim a little over a year ago. . . Prayers to you.

My deepest sympathies in the passing of Joe. I was fortunate to have been his dental hygienist for 24 years. He was always smiling, talking often of the grandchildren, kayaking, and his guitar playing. May he rest in peace.
