Joe and family, I am sorry this message is so belated, but I just saw this notice as I was updating our family research online. I am the granddaughter of Dudley and Althea, and the daughter of Ed and Beverly. Your mom took such an interest in guiding my early education, and this had a profound effect on all my education and eventually my career. I will always remember her for that. Please feel free to contact me if you'd like more information. My family and I will keep you and yours in our thoughts and prayers in this time of healing.

Joe,
I just opened the e-mail from George about your Mom. I am so very sorry for your loss. You and I have been very fortunate to have our mothers with us for many years but that does not mitigate the loss you have and will experience. I will keep you and your mom in my prayers.

Joe,
I just heard about your Mom. Joe Baiamonte sent me a note which I will forward to other Jays. I remember you talking about her at the reunion. I'm sure you know how lucky you are to have had her for all these years. Mom's are special people and will always be part of who we are. As the years pass you may not think of her as often but the loss of her will always be with you. I'll keep her and you in my thoughts and prayers.
Love you brother,
George
