I was deeply saddened to hear of Joe's passing. I remember him as being a very kind soul and he will be missed. I would like to express my sincere sympathies to Jean and her family on their loss.

The last time I spoke to Joe was at the passing of my own father. The support was greatly appreciated. If there is anything my mom and I can do to help, please do not hesitate to ask.

Again, all my prayers, Herb Jackson

Jean, Gina, and Michael--just learned tonight (Monday) in a 'phone message from Jean about your sad loss. I'm so sorry I can't attend either the calling hours or the funeral, since I can't drive (broken foot). My thoughts and prayers are with you, and Norm will be with you in spirit. Joe was an unusually good person. I know you will miss him terribly in the years ahead. The down side of loving, unfortunately, is losing. Elaina Jackson (Bridgewater, MA)

Jean and family,
Joe was an awesome patient and I enjoyed every visit with him. You all should be very proud of the care you gave him. He was so lucky to have such a loving family. He will be missed.
