To Joe's Family,
I would like to take this moment to tell all of you how lucky you are to have had a wonderful man like Joe in your life. I knew him through business and had the pleasure several times to meet with him and Brenda socially. I know how it feels to lose someone you love. Just knowing that you all will have so many loving memories and each of you will have a certain legacy of Joe to hold on to is a relief in itself.

I will remember the entire Manak families in my prayers today.
Wishing you all my deepest sympathy.
