Joe and family---we were so sorry to read about your mom in our Sunday paper, we had not realized you lost her a month ago. So hard to let go of a mom---we are still struggling and it has been over a year. Joe---I truly apologies, but we could not find your address to send a card--so when you get a moment, please email me or call with your number and address.
Again--we are so very sorry for your tremendous loss--we will keep you in our prayers.
