Joe was a sweet,kind,gentle soul. He used to buy flowers from me at Kroger and we became friends. He was always so thoughtful. He gave me a beautiful poem that he wrote. I will always cherish that. I am very sad that he passed when I was out out town and I missed his funeral. I know he is in Heaven and finally at peace and out of pain. I am so happy I got to visit with him earlier this summer. My prayers go out to his family. May God bless you and be with you during this very sad time. He will be missed.
