I was thinking about Joe the other day. I remember him as being a handsome kid. He always had a smile on his face. He was a good friend to Dan and I know they had many good times together. He is missed greatly.

I can't believe its been this long since Joe passed. He was a great person, smart, handsome, talented and a good friend to all. I am sure you have wonderful memories of him. I think about him too. He loved his family and especially his mother. I am sure he is not far away even now.

It must be a coincidence because I was just thinking about Joe. He was such a smart handsome kid who was good and loved his family. I know he would have been a great Uncle and Father. He remains always in the hearts of his family and friends.

Kathy and Family,
I just learned of your loss through the WPS Bereavement notices. I have had the privilege of working in the same school as you, Kathy, for one year, and recall a few other professional development pportunities to get caught up. You are such a genuine person, Kathy, and can only imagine your son, Joe, as the same. May your family find comfort in each other, your memories of time shared, and the belief that Joe exists in your hearts!

While the loss of a loved one is never easy, even when anticipated, it is most certainly the hardest when they are taken from us too soon. Your recent loss of your son whose tragic death at such a youthful age is definitely in the category of those hard losses.

We ask for God's blessings on your family. May you find the courage and strength to move forward in peace and confidence by remembering you do not walk alone. - In deepest sympathy,
