My dear favorite Uncle Joe as a young girl, he made me laugh growing up. He teased me when I lost my baby teeth, He called me Toothless Annie, I have treasured tiny rosary beads in a small silver case the size of a quarter, years back I sent him a bunch of photos of them, & he told me who gave them to him, when he was in the WAR. I was his favorite niece.....May God Bless you...RIP...
