To the Mlayess family,

My deepest heartfelt condolences to the mlayess family. Yesterday morning, I was told about the passing of Joe. I graduated with him from high school, and although I only met him that year, he became a good friend. After high school, we would always run into each other and Joe was always quick to acknowledge our common connection as high school chums. He was as most people have written before me, an absolute warm individual, who was a delight to be around and a generous soul to have known. He will be missed.
My thought and prayers go out to his family.

A little Ant who stood in front of a big tree and said to the tree "how in heaven can I possibly climb your trunk?" Then the tree answered the little ant saying " make the first step up my trunk then the ants behind you will push you and give you strength" Now you are in heaven looking down on us little ants, smiling down with your beautiful eyes, telling us to keep climbing.
I write this letter with tears in my eyes, his picture in my head, my love for him in my heart.

Mr. Mlayess:

I only had the pleasure of meeting you once and it was many years ago when Joe Boo moved to Lakeside Green. We went different directions in our lives but there are many memories that I will cherish. I will remember him for being such a caring person and the long talks that we used to have. And I'll never forget his crazy outfits that used to always make me laugh. Anyone that truly knew him will remember what a generous person he was.

If you allow him, God will help you through this hard time. Remember that those we love remain with us forever because love itself lives on. Cherished memories never fade. Please know that my deepest condonlences go to you over the loss of your beloved son and to your entire family. You are all in my prayers.
